Used 2002 Saturn L-Series L300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Beware of Tire Problems!
Absolutely loved this car from the very beginning, and still do. This was my first brand new car. And I chose this model because it offered the luxury of other fine cars at a more reasonable price. Nevertheless, I got all the trimmings. This was my first V6, so I was understandably impressed by the power and speed. Saturn service is not all that it says it is. I'd like to give my 2 cents about what I think about them in one of their commercials. The only thing good I have to say is that they give you a free car wash - but you pay for it in the long waiting room visit.
Best buy for the money
The L300 is the best car for the money we purchased a fully load model 16" chrome rims, 6-disc CD, DVD, leather. and we are very happy with the V6 performance and handling. The V6 has good power and the sound system is great

I thought I would post another review almost a year after I posted my first one. I just 3,000 mile round trip I would like to continue my good review of the L300, it's fun to drive The seats were the best I've sat in for all 3,000 miles of driving, and it drove smooth across several states, including those crappy Jersey roads. I took it on a more windy and hilly course to test the power and the transmission performed beautifully. Compared to the BMW with sport suspension, I have to admit I found it a bit sluggish, but still more responsive that ANY other midsize Ive driven. Its more sporty! Course, comparing saturns to BMWs may not be fair!
Saturn L300
The car is fun to drive. The sunroof is well engineered and there is very little wind noise even at highway speeds. The 6 CD changer and radio give a very high quality sound. The fuel economy is lower than I expected at only about 20-22 mpg for all around driving. The car has a great ride and stable handling.
Saturn Fails
I have owned Saturns for 10 years. I have had this one for 2 1/2. It is the prettiest and most decked out Saturn I have bought. I thought I would splurge. Sorry I did. It has been in the shop 3 times, the last having been towed in. And for things that just should not go wrong -- alternater, fuel pump, fuel guage, stuff like that. I am so disappointed in the car, but even more disappointed in Saturn's Service Dept. At this rate, I won't be able to afford the repairs after the warranty runs out.
