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.
My saturn keeps breaking!

Problem with my Saturn L-200 series 4- dr sadan is that first the sunroof went out then the mechanism that you put your key into quit turning (which meant I could not turn the key to start it) and you can never keep a comfortable temp when using the heat or air. The way the windows fog up on the outside and theres nothing you can do b/c its on the outside! The right back break light has a short in it not to mention the left tail light seems to need me to hit it a few times for it to come on... I will never buy one again. p.s. ALWAYS ASK FOR A HISTORY REPORT!!! Found out my car had welding damage 2 yrs after I bought it the same dealership would only offer $3,000 when I paid $13,000...

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.
It's OK but costly

I got my Saturn for my 20th birthday. My mom took it to the dealership and paid to have them check it out. Everything was fine. Two months later on my way to work I heard a pop. The alternator belt popped of. These things happen. But now it is a year later and I have had to replace the pannel for the a/c to work and then a pump, totaling 1,300 then I went and had the 60,000 mile service done and they said everything is OK. Now 3 weeks later I am having problems with the fuel tank. I also had a Saturn before this one and every payday it would break down. I hate Saturns.
Well, it could have been better

In general, I would say that for the price, it was not a bad guess. Comfort is good, the trunk is huge, the 2.2L engine performs well under normal conditions. All in all, it is not too bad. But... Brakes worn out after only 15000 mi. (pads AND disks!) Many small problems (steering, suspension, noises, lamps, parking brake, and so on...) And a "not so friendly" dealer that always says that everything is normal... This does not help! During summer, when using all-season tires (I replaced the ridiculous Firestones by much better BFGoodrich Traction T/A), fuel economy is OK, but in winter, with winter tires, wow... It drinks like a truck!
