250k and still purring

2003 Saturn L-Series L200 4dr Sedan (2.2 L 4cyl 4A)

Bought at 90 k miles. Change oil regularly. At 113k miles I was told the timing chain broke and a new block was required. The front seat broke thru and requires a pillow. Brake pads changed twice. An a/c hose changed a week ago. No wonder they stopped making them. I will probably still be driving this in 10 years. Unless I win a lottery.

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.

2003 Saturn L-Series LW200 4dr Station Wagon (2.2 L 4cyl 4A)

Fuel pump seems to be a problem - mine went without warning at 60K, covered under warranty. Driver's heated seat went at 100K, again, covered (barely) under warranty. Get 430 miles to the tankful, especially after a tune. At 270K, two A/C lines (aluminum) cracked, that cost me $300 out of pocket. I haul everything from ranch equipment to goats in it, plenty of room, well worth the investment. Will buy another one when this one hits the magic 500K mark, probably in two years. Stout engine, no Corvette in acceleration but better than most imports of the same age/engine size. Like the rear seat folding flat, lots of cargo space that way.
Just Okay...

I bought the car used in 2008 with 48K miles on it. Since then I have only put a little over 12K on it, but there have been a few problems. The first week I had it the passenger side mirror fell and shattered just from closing the door. The biggest problem was my alternator dying last year, and costing me about $800 from the Cadillac dealership, since Saturn went out of business. There is also a spring in my brake assembly that constantly comes loose, causing screeching sounds until I take it apart and re-assemble it. The car also makes a creaking sound when I enter or exit the vehicle. Overall it's a comfortable car that gets great mpg, but the build quality just isn't all there.
Love this car!

This is an amazing vehicle to drive. The Saturn L200 is fun, reliable, and looks cool. It's a unique car too, especially among the hundreds of Corollas and Civics you see every day. When I drive this car I feel safe and secure. I love this vehicle and I highly recomend it to anyone looking for a great car!
