I used to drive a saturn s but i totaled that. So I was lookin around at other vehicles but i was like Mom, I want a Saturn(im only 19) so I went and looked and the Saturn ION and the Saturn L200 were both great cars I just didn't like that the odometer and stuff were in the center like that about the ION. But I love my car. It has made me so happy...but I agree with the other person that the radio controls should be on the steering wheel...

I've owned my 2003 L series for almost a week. Bought it for $400. Only thing it needs is a new converter amd thermostat, that's it. Even woth the converter clogged, she still scoots amd gets great gas mileage.

this was my first car when I turned 16 that my parents bought for me and I LOVE IT !! it has been extremely reliable ive owned the car for over a year now 15 months to be exact and had to do nothing other than regular maintenance. oil changes etc. it drives great and runs better. the engine is quite peppy in the city. the highway does seem to lack a bit of power and does require a bit of having to floor it. but other than that I absolutely love the car. it gets greats gas mileage and the insurance on it is not expensive at all since its a 4 cylinder. the car is comfortable and roomy. and I think the window switches in the middle instead of on the door is pretty cool. I plan on keeping the car till it dies. :) :D :D

My new Saturn LW300

2003 Saturn L-Series LW300 4dr Station Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

I have an LW300 wagon and was overly impressed with all the features that came with the price! There is plenty of leg room and the cargo space is just the size I need with three children. It also helps to have the DVD player with the kids for all the long road trips we take. The only issue I have is with the engine noise coming into the cabin when sitting in idle. When I took my car in for service, I was told that this was "normal". I believe that this problem only happens with the wagons. Otherwise, I would recommend this car to anyone looking for all the features without the high price.

I really enjoy driving this car. It handles very well. I can fit both kids, all the groceries,all the coats, all the bags,a pie, a cake, whatever with room to spare. It's got plenty of power,gas mileage is o.k. but not great. This car is more than comfortable. Plus customer service is great and roadside assistance is nice to have in a pinch. Give it a try.
