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.

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!

I bought this new because of the 0% financing deal and at the time Saturn Service had a good reputation. The car now has 120,000 miles on it and I have replaced the computer in the car twice, A/C had to be recharged for the last 3 summers, gas tank cracked and had to be replaced, clutch went out, loud rumble in the back, dash bulb lights, etc. I would NOT recommend this car to anyone and would not recommend Saturn at all. The service department used to be wonderful - now the service is TERRIBLE.
A good Mid-Sized Car

I've owned a few Saturn's over the years. 1993 SL2(which is still the best saturn I ever drove) 1999 SL1 and this one 2002 L200. This car comes with all the trimings at a price that is reasonable. At 700miles a rain storm killed the horn. Something that shouldn't ever happen, which makes me believe the engine area isn't well built. Besides of the horn problem, everything else works to spec. I live in a very busy city, with alot of traffic. The city gas milege isn't too great. So far at 700 miles the best city avg I've gotten is about 18- 19 miles per gallon. Highway is 29

I took a risk and bought the first production year model of the LS1. Seat is comfortable. Interior is kind of plain, but the controls are simple and you don't have to hunt for them. I've used this car every day for 30K mi. I'm glad I bought it. I can rely on it working and it's predictable. It's also fun when I step on it and wind through the 4 speed auto/OD tranny. I appreciate that the car is made in the US.
