With the V6 it is definitely fun to drive, which has an impact on the fuel mileage . . . This is my 2nd Saturn and I really like the way the driver's controls are arranged. Have put over 100k miles on it in 4 years and now has over 175k miles on it. Starting to see some maintenance issues with parts failing, but the major systems such as tranny, engine, etc are still doing fine. Annoying problem with the AC leaking into the driver's compartment, and the soft rotors have warped somewhat and essentially need replaced each time the brakes are replaced.
Possibly the most under-rated mid-size

-Engine by Saab: acceleration on par with cars costing 5-8k more. -Chasis by Opel: Handling is very competant -Interior: Very refined for an American car. The seats are the most comfortable I've seen in this class. -Service by Saturn - need I say more. Don't let the hp rating deceive you. This car is based on the Opel Vectra and it's European roots shine through in just about every aspect. In my opinion Camry and Accord are appliances (yawn) - if you need a sure thing, they are it - nobody will question your purchase. However, if your the type that looks for reasons to jump in your car and drive it, this one is for you.

I purchased the car new and have been very happy with it. I drive for a living and find the car a real pleasure. Climate control is kind of stupid with the automatic temp. control. Had a little problem with dripping coolant, but was taken care of by dealer. Handles nice and is very comfortable and I am 6' and 230 lbs. Holds 4 adult and the truck is roomy. Seems to have a little to much road noise, but much better then my Chrysler. Engine is spunky and rides nice on the high way. Hard to see out of back window with the spoiler. Would buy again and again. Compares very well to my Camry.
Absolutely an amazing vehicle

Owned a Saturn L100 SE since 2002 and put 115,000 miles on it. Not a single major repair in 4 years other than tires replaced once at 60,000 miles. The L100 is so amazing that recently shopping for another car the decision was a no brainer. Bought a used 2002 L300 with 36,000 miles for $11,800 out the door with all fees. The L300 is almost exactly like our beloved L100 with the exception of the V6 engine and more upgrades and options. This line of cars cannot be beat (price/performance). We drove some old model BMWs (1998) while car shopping and my wife swears that her used L300 feels on par with the BMWs that we drove. Now we own an L100 and a L300 and both are outstanding vehicles.
I'd never buy Saturn again

The first year I had the car all was good. That changed drastically the next year. Had tires replaced at 30,000 miles, then tie rod, power steering rack, battery, brake casing. My brakes are going, but was told that I need to replace rotors with pads (L series cars have soft rotors), and directional signals don't work when temperature is either really hot or cold. When I get service on the car I have to tell them what needs to be fixed from TSB's posted on Internet; they haven't a clue. Stay far away from this car!!!
