Used 2002 Saturn L-Series Sedan Consumer Reviews
Saturn: so-so
After 50,000 km, the L is okay. Had to have the slave cylinder replaced during at 20,000 km. (under warrantry). Can't say I'm thrilled with the car. It's okay. Good room for my family of four and a decent trunk that is hampered by achaic trunk hinges that intrude. Passats gas hinges are better. The engine, though it receives raves, I find to be enimic. It only pulls around 5000 rpm, which means a lot of stirring of the shifter. The steering wheel is to big. Reminds me of a Crown Vic. I suppose this appeals to older target group.
62,000+ and going fine
My third Saturn. Bought with first low interest rates after 9/11. Used dually for long highway and 30 mile daily r/t to work. Longer wheelbase than S series makes for more comfy ride. Interior amenities very similar to S series. Simple to plain interior suffers from poor fit/assembly. Coolant pump blew under warranty, had issues with engine electronics but this was addressed under voluntary recall. Saturn refunded my costs for original repair, no hassles. Saturn of Greenville is really great!

Great Car - Great Value
I know its still early, but I love my L200. The ride is quiet and comfortable and the sound system is terrific. For value alone - it is a fantastic car. I just love getting in the car and driving it. I can't recommend the L200 enough. Give the Saturn a shot. It's a terrific buying experience and you won't be disappointed.
I miss my L300!
I just traded my 2002 L300 in yesterday at 135K miles, but I felt so sad driving away from it because it truly was a great car. I bought it used about four years ago and have put over 100K miles on it in all my commuting. The car was excellent in rain, snow, wind, and on the freeway, and all the comfortable amenities such as the sunroof, great stereo, leather heated seats, etc., will be greatly missed. It started needing significant repairs fairly regularly around 115K miles and I finally decided to cut my losses and get a new vehicle. I have a little remorse now!
Saturn L200 2002 5M
Car ran great for the 30,000 miles I put on it. Just recently however the timing chain jumped, common with these l-models, and the valves/pistons/connecting rods were compromised. Engine will need to be replaced estimated at $2,400, through a friend of the family, while the car is only blue booked at $2,600. My brother has the same car, one year older, so I will keep the car for parts for him. He has also seen $2,500 in repairs for his vehicle. It seems like this vehicle is great up to 90K.
