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.

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!

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??
