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.

I swear by Hondas, but when we got married my wife had a 2002 Saturn L200. So, let's itemize repairs in the last year: 83k - body control module fails. $500 at the Saturn dealer. 85k - catalytic Converter clogs and fails. Dealer wants $1500 to replace. I did it myself for $400 in parts. 88k - brake master cylinder goes, this would probably be $250 job at the mechanic, but I did the it for $100 in parts. 94k - The timing chain stretched and jumped time, smashed valves and ruined the engine. I got a used engine and upgraded timing kit for $900 plus $600 in labor for a mechanic friend to drop it in. For reference, at a dealer a new engine is $3800 plus about $1600 in labor.

I got this car used and did get a copy of its service record and immediately noticed that many things the dealer said they had replaced no 30 days ago had not. The car is in very good shape no thanks to the dealer, has decent interior room and good trunk space but my Cavalier interior is 100% better quality, material fit and finish than the Saturn. The exterior is another area where nothing seems to fit with door gaps of half an inch here and 1/8 the there, just very sloppy. When I jacked the car up to inspect the brakes the chassis flexed so bad none of the doors or hood would open. Long story short, it gets decent mileage, everything works (for now) so for sale it goes. Never again.
High style, high quality

I bought my Saturn L200 in March and fell in love with it. Three months later, I still get a thrill when I get behind the wheel. The car gives a quiet and smooth ride but the engine is powerful. The best word to describe the motion of the car is "gliding." The interior is spacious and the controls are all in places that make sense. The exterior of the car is stylish and classy and sometimes gets mistaken for the Toyota Camry. I have been extremely pleased with my Saturn!
Thats a SATURN?!?!?!

Although I've only had it a few days, I have to admit I'm in love with my second saturn. I'll certainly change my review of more problems creep up, but having bought a demo with 6k already on it, all of the initial bugs have certainly been worked out (I hope). The medium blue and chrome alloy wheels along with 4 firehawk gta 16 inchers have gotten more than one "what a sweet ride" remarks. With the 0% loan I received, it was more car for no more payment. I had just test driven Jettas and Passats, and wasn't disapointed when I ended up back at Saturns lot.
