Saturn L300

2003 Saturn L-Series L300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

I test drove many of the more expensive foreign cars and the comfort, power and ride quality are all very close to the L300 which I finally purchased. The dealership service has been excellent for oil changes. The looks of the L300 (it has all the available extras), is very stylish and I've had nothing but favorable comments about the car. The car handles well and it has lots of power for passing when on two lane highways.

You'll have so much fun driving your Saturn L200! Rides like a much more expensive car, and has a fantastic sound system! I drove my Saturn coupe for nearly 12 years before I replaced it with this sedan model. With first hand authority on the reliability of Saturn -- take it from me, I would never switch.

Lovin it

I wasn't anticipating buying a Saturn until I saw the L200. The alloy wheels sparkled and the power sunroof warmed my heart. It was much sportier in person than I had imagined after seeing it on the internet. The handling is terrific- although I wasn't expecting it to shift like a sports car. I still cannot believe the excellent gas mileage I am getting!

I just purchased the new Saturn L-300 sedan. So far I am very pleased. The only problem I have is the automatic climate control. It is very irratic and hard to set and maintain. It's almost manual. Big time design changes need to be done on the system. Very comfortable car on long trips and gets decent fuel economy. The advaces audio systm ranks up there with JBL, Bose and other upgraded systems. The leather appointments are leaps and bounds better than the one I had in my Grand Prix. I think general overall qiuality is very good. GM needs to take lessons on that subject.

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.
