Used 2002 Saturn L-Series Wagon Consumer Reviews
Fun Wagon
I love driving this car. Bought it in 04 at 27,000 miles, now has 192,000 miles of the roughest kind of roads in the USA. I live on a washboard, potholed road in the Mojave desert, drove the "Palmdale/LA gran pri"! (translate the Angeles forest hwy) to Glendale - what a fun road. My Saturn could beat any car in acceleration except maybe a Porsche - got great gas mileage, made those corners fun at 55 mph(legal speed), all while disguised as an old lady car! Plus lots of room to haul everything - you name it. Hay, chicken coop material, furniture (got a huge massage table and cabinents in this car). Want an RV? My only complaint. Tracer works better for camping in. What else do you need
no more boring hondas
I wanted a car with some personality. Honda, toyota, subaru have become so vanilla. This car has a soul. Makes nice exhaust note, fast, and different. Very solid. Lots of room to haul stuff - and large dog. I get pleanty of looks. Friends and co-workers thought it was volvo or audi. Great buying experience. My car had a discolored door that i noticed after i purchased. The dealer took it back and replaced with another within a few days - no questions asked.

LW200 station wagon
bought with 13K, now has 180K. runs like brand new, smooth and good handling, a dream on freeway. would buy again if possible. this is actually a Saab 9-5 so German quality. best car I've ever owned now for over 11 years. hate to buy another car so keep this one rolling...
Excellent Value for the Money
We bought our Saturn a year ago, and had moved up from a SW2 Wagon, which served us extremely well. We also very much liked the VW Passat. This car, even fully loaded, was thousands less. As city dwellers, we can't justify spending thousands on a car that will see its share of abuse from tight parking spaces, etc. The car is very well made and handles extremely well. A sport wagon that makes you feel as though you are in a European wagon (you are--it is an Opel Vectra with a Saab engine) costing thousands more.
not for snowy roads
This car handles very very very poorly on snow - worst I've ever owned (I've owned 5 other cars). I am looking to replace the car because of this. The front end is light and the traction control comes on when the car is on a slight incline on a wet road or road with a bit of small sandy/pebbley debris. I have never had snow tires (live in NJ) but never had an issue until this car.
