We want to add our voice to the choir of unhappy saturn owners. Our car is currently in the shop and we have been told the rear break system and fuel pump require replacement and the car has only 80k miles. There have been little parts of the car falling off all the time (knobs, door foam, pieces of plastic we never were able to identify where they came from). The gas mileage has been mediocre for the price of the vehicle. The drive has also been okay, sometimes getting very noisy over 70 mph. We will never, never, never buy a saturn again and we tell all our friends to find something else.
Excellent!

I have had this car for 3 years now! It is a great car! I bought it with 26,000 miles on it and has not had any issue except for one the A/C Head Unit is very finicky and doesn't allow air to blow out the top vents some times. Other than that I have driven it for 20,000 Plus miles and it is wonderful to drive. Fun to corner in it and to accelerate is also a lot of fun. Engine is loud on the highway when accelerating from 70+. I use it every week to drive 240 miles on the weekend commute home and daily around the city. Great car!!!

Annoyance on the highway

Redesigned exterior in 2003 is an improvement over prior L-Series. Build quality is good. L300 ride is taut and performance is more than adequate. Trunk is very large. Transmission shift points at highway speeds need to be changed. Very annoying when using cruise control. Wiper blades have a short life and start skipping on the windshield quickly. New dashboard gauge lighting is not good in all lighting situations. Overall, a nice car at a reasonable price with a few annoyances that could easily be corrected by Saturn.

When my wife and I went to look at Saturn we both were kind of hesitant about getting one. When we saw the L series we fell in love. We both thought that it looked bettere than an accord but we never though that it would drive better than one. We were wrong. The L series drives great, it is very smooth and handles very well. We could not be happier with it.
BUYER BEWARE IT'S A PIECE!!

My experience with this car has NOT BEEN GOOD. I bought it to get something I thought was going to be more dependable and less costly to own than the Chevy Blazer I was driving. Should have stayed away from GM! At 50k miles had to replace the fuel pump. At about 60k miles, started having tranny issues pressure control solenoid which I was told by a Saturn tech is an ongoing problem in the Lseries cars. Ok the car has less than 100k miles!!! too soon to have these serious issues and GM/Saturn customer service is a joke. Don't expect sympathy or cooperation.
