We take good care of care, but it has been one thing after another. By 50,000 miles, I've replaced fuel pump, power steering pump, air conditioning system, numerous sensors, gaskets and seals. Had I not bought the extended warranty, I would have paid thousands of dollars out of pocket for repairs that I should not have seen for another 50,000 miles. We bought car with 70 miles on it and it has been nothing but a piece of crap. Don't buy this car, don't even wish it on your worst enemy. BTW, I got one for sale!
My first Saturn

When I first saw this car, I was looking for something to drive around doing errands and driving back and forth to work. Once I started looking into this Saturn deeper, I found out about its European heritage. The chassis is Opal, and other car companies use it as well. In Germany, it is the Opal Astra, In Sweden, it is the Saab 9-5, in Austraila, it called the Holden Astra, in the UK it's known as the Vauxhall Astra, And the Buick Excelle XT in China. It's drives and rides like a European car. The ride is well controlled but never harsh; this is due to a very stiff chassis. The handling is excellent, and it feels glued to the road at highway speeds. The fuel mileage isn't what I expected, but I do have a heavy foot. Mine is a 2003 model, and for some strange reason, it doesn't have anti-lock brakes. But other than that, I have enjoyed driving this car. What started out to be a daily driver has turned out to be a car we enjoy on long trips too. These cars are a bit rare and I recommend buying one if you happen to come across one.

I had nothing but problems out of this car. The tires were shot that was $600. The coolant tank had a hole in it, $120. The BCM locked up, $600. The water pump was leaking, $600. The A/C stopped working, never fixed it (I was scared of the cost). Rear brakes went out, $735. Front Rotors bent, around $600. I only had the car 4 years! The interior is cheap and rattles. I felt like I was going to go flying off the road when it rainedor when I hit a bump in the road. I finally traded it in for a Ford. Save yourself some money and do not buy this car
What a wonderful sedan!

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.
love my saturn
