Love our Saturns
OK, so we're hooked on Saturns....there are three in our driveway. We bought our '02 in June, mainly on the strength of our daughter's experience with her '93 SL2 and oh, the zero percent financing didn't hurt. We have not been disappointed in the least. More than enough power for a 4 cyl/automatic. It packs a lot of features for the money, much more than Honda/Toyota. A month later, daughter bought a used '01 LS200. No problems so far with any of the LS 200's. My one complaint is with the driver's seat. We have the leather package with lumbar support and my lumbar does not get supported! Wife loves the seat, so go figure.
Good Value for Money
So far dependable and quiet riding. 32mpg on road at 70mph. This with 2.2 four cyl engine. Wanted v6 but after test drive opted for the 4. Plenty of pep.

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!
Awesome
I LOVE my 2002 Saturn L200, bought it on May 27'th 2003 used with 30,000 miles on it. But keep in mind before i was driving a 1990 Toyota Camery, so comapred this car is like a BMW. The motor is very quite peppy and the car shitfs smoothly. I really like how comfortable the drivers seat is, it makes you sit upright and you can go for a very long time without hurting your butt. A lot of the features on the car are automagic, for the amount of features you get you cant beat the price on this car. i LOVE it! - Blake Gardner - Baton Rouge, Louisiana - Age: 19
A good basic car
I enjoyed owning this car. It performed well. A basic car and the anti-lock brakes saved my life once. You can steer even in a skid with these style brakes - so I avoided a collision. It had nice leather seats, and seat warmer that was nice to have in the winter. A good sound system. OK fuel economy. Could be a little quieter. My steering wheel also squeaked a little in turns. Only repairs in 5 years was the ignition key lock went out ~$400 by AAA in house repair. I believe the key repair man messed something up (shorted something- cause the next week I had to have $600 computer brain module replaced. Six months later my daughter totaled the car- but in the accident she was safe
