SUPER CAR
I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BUY A USED PICKUP, SAW THE L200 AND COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS A SATURN. MED RED WITH SPORT PACKAGE READY TO GO ON SHOWROOM FLOOR. DESIGN, FEATUES AND 2.2L PERFORMANCE. DON'T LAUGH, I WAS SURPRIZED HOW PEPPY THIS ENGINE WAS.WE HAVE MADE TWO TRIPS FROM VA TO CONN IN THIS CAR AND IT HAD PLENTY OF POWER, EXCELLENT COMFORT AND HANDLING. GAS MILEAGE A LITTLE OVER 30.
ENGINE FAILURE
Engine failed (blown piston) 58 days after purchase from local dealer. No warranty, no nothing. They said about $2,500 to fix it. This doesn't seem possible with any car that's a 2003 with 68,000 miles...this just should not happen. Regular dealer maintenance has always been done, regular oil and filter changes, proper fuel -- very moderate driving... What's the manufacturer doing to help owners with these problems??

LW300
Extremely good value. Should last a very long time. Low maintenance cost.
Not up to GM's quality
I had to get rid of this car because of the auto climate control. It was at the dealer twice and I was told there was no fix. I froze in the winter months. The cruise control did not work in the Colorado/New Mexico region (stayed in overdrive forever) Top gas mileage on the highway was 24 MPG. Advertised MPG was 29. I would have kept the car if it had manual air because it was fun to drive.
