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.
General Mess from GM

This was our second Saturn, the first was a 1996 SL1 with 75,000 and no issues, this one was now been in the shop 19 times, the first was the second day. Constant electrical problems, no break lights and suspension issues, car has gone through 3 sets of tires. Interior of very poor quality, rattles, squeeks, headline falling down, and go try and trade the car in, the value is almost as bad a Yugo. Never again will we purchase a GENERAL MESS from GENERAL MOTORS

Check your headlights. Our headlights and dashlights dim almost all the way out many times per day. Saturn says that THIS IS NORMAL. They say that dimming headlights and dashlights ARE NORMAL. This car is a complete pile of junk. Buy a Camry or Accord, I wish I had. This is our family's 6th Saturn and will definitely be out last. The engine is too loud, the driver's seqat already creaks with only 8000 miles on it, and our dashlights flicker and our headlights dim WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE and SATURN SAYS THIS IS NORMAL!!!!!!!!!! RUN away from this piece of junk.

I recently took delivery of my 2003 L300 and can truthfully say it is the most fun to drive car I have ever owned. It is roomy, comfortable and has plenty of power for all situations. It came very well equipted, with power everything, cd player, air, power drivers seat and automatic climate control for well under $ 20,000 with incentives. Add in a retailer network well known for treating customers right, and imo the L300 is worth more than its midsize competiors from overseas.
Not bad but not great

Steering is a bit muddy and small interior. Fuel economy isn't quite what I thought. Yet it seems to be a durable car that doesn't need much attention. Engine has a great sound.
