Frustrating!
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.
My second year with my LS1
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.

Looking for something else.
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.
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.
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.
