I am a full time student and I work part time as well as enjoy weekend road trips! I bought this car after my brother, who is on his 2nd Saturn swore I couldn't find a better car for the money. In the almost two years I have owned it, I have had no major problems with it. Great car for the money. I have over 110K miles on it and it runs like the day I bought it...on 87 gas!
Good Used Car

Bought the car this summer with 46k miles on it and an extended warrabty. This is our 2nd Saturn (1st one was a 1994 SL1 - purchased new). Am very happy with the car, though I am not sure I would have paid $21k for it brand new. Very comfortable, smooth ride, good engine. As always, service at Saturn has been excellent.

This is my second Saturn. I had ran up 172,000 miles in my old Saturn SL2 with only about 3 trips to the dealership in 5 years. When I bought the new Saturn, I ended up having to return the car the same day I bought it for new front tires (belt blew). In the first year that I owned the car, $2,000 worth of repairs were put into it. Saturn Customer Service/Corporate was of no help. Second year, I ended up with an after market warranty (pd $1,700 for it) but, another $2,000 worth of repairs in the second year. Now, I am having problems with induction icing that no one can seem to fix (resulting in a stuck accelerator in the winter). Two more payments and the car is history. Never again...

I purchased this L100 New in December of 2002. I drive high mileage each year working in Boston. I was sold on its maintenance schedule thinking for the money, it was great. suggested 5000 mile oil changes and basic schedule. Well, it went downhill months after I boaught it. First off, the brake system which is supposed to be a superior system,(technically it was) you always have to by new rotors everytime you change out the brakes, the job cost my upwards of 600 dollars. Then came a few pieces of molding that came off on the passenger side! (I rarely have people in the car) then the Taillight assembly blew, had absolutely no lights in the back. Had to replace the whole assembly - $500. After coming up on the warranty limit, less than a thousand miles, the engine seized, was denied any help from Saturn and had to file for Bankrupsy due to still oweing 14 thousand on a car that was only decorating my front yard. 2 years later, they pulled it from production.
Best value and performance for the price.

I loved the ride and overall experience of driving my L100. I have never before owned a car that had so few problems and I still feel confident about driving it after 255,000 happy miles. The Opal chassis gave such a solid feeling every time I got into the car. The oversize Saab brakes made stopping a very smooth and accurate event. The car was redirected back to the factory to add power windows and door locks, a spoiler and alloy wheels. The sales manager called it an L100 special edition, though he admitted no such designation was attached to the car. I found these additions very welcome. The L100 in 2002 became my favorite all time car for durability, reliability, and driving enjoyment. I have owned pricier cars that cost much more to own and operate. I would pick my L100 over my 1989 Maxima (purchased new and drove for 10 plus years). The Maxima transmission became a nightmare.
