Best Car I've owned
My L200 2003 has 170,000 and I am driving it like I bought it yesterday. Except for a couple of "creaks" like an old house, this car is a champ! Only had to replace the catalytic converter once. Brakes, tires, rotors, have normal wear and tear replacement. This car is the best car I've owned, especially as reliability is concerned! I hope to keep it going past 200K as it's been paid for, for a couple of years!
I LOVE MY SATURN L200
I have had my saturn for over 2 years i baught it used at 116K i have now 140K and all i have done is Roters and regulat maint. I get 38 MPG and that is with adding octane booster to every tank. i does not hurt the car. I have always had saturns and this is one of the most reliable ones i have had my SL2 i have had to replace the cluch at 2000 miles and the radiator and all kinds of other stuff i have not had to do with my L200 THIS Car has saved my ass form the SL2 too many times to count. ran a carfax on it and found NOTHING so this is a WONDERFUL car.
The Silver Bullet
I have not owned this car long. It has 78k miles. I'm the third owner. It's silver, hence, "the silver bullet"! I will never buy a 6-cyl again. This 4-cyl is GREAT on gas mileage (compared to my Subaru). It doesn't have as much "go" as I'd like at times but gas mileage is more important. Oh, my specific car doesn't have keyless entry. Apparently, it was not "set up" for my car. So, before you buy a car that comes with keyless entry remotes - check that it has keyless entry. I hate leather so this interior is nice in my opinion. The back seats fold down to allow for more room for cargo (through the trunk if you like). The dash dials are
LW300 Euro on a Budget
6'5 3 kids and an affinity for Euro wagons. First, I fit and comfortably. My 3 boys fit (9, 9 and 5). The get up and go is great and easily will cruise at 90mph (oops). Styling ok, not as cramped as the Saab it is based on but performs almost as well. Little too much give if pushed hard in faster turns. Mileage takes a hit if I hover over 70mph. Hwy/city combined the worst I have got was 25mpg. The best was around 27mpg. AC, takes a little getting used to the Auto feature is a bit quirky, but I usually set a temp and adjust just the speed and works great. Stereo is good clean sound good volume. Leather is comfy, and love the heated seats on those long drives. Really like this car and size.
L300 Best Car I've Ever Owned
Saturn's L300 provides a very limosine style ride on my 120 mile perday interstate commute. Seats are very comfortable. Very quiet for a sub- $10,000 auto. Weekender drives into the Laurel Highlands tend to highlight the very good cornering nature of this car.
