Used 2002 Saturn L-Series Wagon Consumer Reviews
Not everything it's cracked up to be
First of all, have your suspension / tires evaluated. There is a TSB that provides for new tires and a shim kit. (My tires were fried at only 19K miles, and the car vibrated at 60 mph.) The gas tank is too small, the traction light comes on whenever it rains. There is a continuous rattle above the driver's side front window. The most obvious deception is that the resale value is horrific. Just for fun, take a look at the trade in value of your car. Can you say bottoms up? This is definitely my last Saturn!
poor quality
We've had two recalls in less than three years, two repairs, including the computer. Saturn was unsympathetic about this last repair, even though it was within the time limit of the warranty, but jsut over the mileage limit. We wouldn't have gone over the mileage limit if we didn't have to take it in so many times for problems! I will never buy another GM, let alone Saturn vehicle.

Reliable, Practical, Durable & Fun
This car has been extremely reliable and fun to drive for all of the 93K miles. Excellent torque makes it feel very peppy. Very comfortable for front and back seat riders. Huge cargo area has been very much appreciated. Body panels have held up very well and look new to this day. Would definitely buy from Saturn again but will probably keep this car around for safe reliable college student duty.
An offer you cannot refuse
The Saturn LW200 Wagon offers an excellent mix of functionality, performance and value. We went in to take a closer look at the Saturn Vue which appears to be a big hit, but the ZERO PERCENT financing on the L Series was a no brainer. Although the quality is slightly lower than a comparable Passat Wagon (which we also owned), we feel the difference in price and the Saturn buying experience outweighs our initial hesitation to buy an American product. And let's face it, zero interest means none, nada, nothing added to each payment. We love our Saturn!
Solid Value
With nearly 20 months under our belt we are very happy with out LW 300 wagon. The size is perfect for a family of four and there gear. The DVD player and sound system are a big hit with my teenage children. There have been no problems to date and no recalls. We have a BMW X-5 and its on its 5th recall in 2 years. Insurance rates our wonderful on this vehicle. With a 17 year old daughter I'm happy this vehicle is rated with one of the lowest insurance rates avaliable.
