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.

I have had nothing but trouble with this car!! The first year three springs broke. My mechanic told me Saturn is aware of this problem and hasn't recalled for it. Cost $1600. Computer went out and cost me $600. Had to replace all of the brake system, except lines. Had transmition flushed and still slips going into first. And now it's leaking radiator fluid from somewhere. I've always heard good things about Saturn's so I bought one, and i've been regretting it every since!!!

The Best Saturn Yet

I recently traded in a '99 Pontiac Bonneville for a 2003 Saturn L300 Premium. The car came fully loaded with all options. The moment you turned the key, you could tell this was a very different Saturn. The engine is out of this world, actually, it's made in the UK. The engine is used in GM's Euro applications. The materials are first rate. The car is truly a great surprise from Saturn.

My wife wanted a relatively inexpensive commuter car. Well the L300, even fully loaded, is relatively inexpensive in comparison with other cars in its category. The car still looks good, even after a year and pickup is good with the 6 cylinder engine. I do have two major problems: fuel economy and the climate control. For a small car, even with a 6 cylinder I would have expected at least 20 mpg around town, which we have yet to get. Secondly, the automated climate control system SUCKS. That's the best description I can give. We have had this vehicle in the shop twice for this problem. Didn't get fixed either time.
