Used 2003 Saturn L-Series L300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Unwilling buyer
I really did not want this car, but my husband like the safety features - he felt we got more for our money compared to other models we looked. The car has not had any mechanical problems & is fun to drive but the seats are very very uncomfortable & my 6'2' son does not fit in the back seat very well. After traveling I am stiff & sore. I never felt that way in the Intreped I owned before this one. The worst thing is that we tried to trade it for a larger & more comfortable car & found out how much it has depreciated in 1 year -$10,000. My advice is not to get a Saturn if you want a comfortable car to travel in.
Not a family car
The Saturn L300 is a great car and handles well. The dealership does excellent maintenance work. My only issue is that when the front seats are adjusted to a comfortable position for driving, there is absolutely no foot room in the back seat. Having a 15 year old son that is as tall as I am, and a shoe size of 12, he has to be careful getting in and out. His feet are way under the front seat.

Great car, but a bit small
The styling is great. The handling and peformance is excettent, i was surprised about the response i got when i pinned it top the floor, it has good mid-rpm power and great around the town. It is a bit small in the back though. Don't think about putting 3 passengers back there.Overall ,a great choice
Lots of Promise; Disappointing Car
At 75,000mi the car needed a new water pump, shorted the turn signal (w/ smoke), bad break cable, and an outrageous price tag to fix it all ($1800). I should have learned this with my first 99 Saturn after the dealer tried to stick me with a $4500 for a cracked head at 30K mi. Love the Saturn brand. I was encouraged by friends to give Saturn another go, but I will never buy another Saturn again -- not just for a lack of reliability, but for the ridiculous customer service costs.
Very surprising
I am very surprised at this new Saturn that I took delivery on less than two weeks ago. Took it immediately to northern Georgia and into NC. I previously had a Buick Regal GSE (2000) and this car seems bigger and loaded with more creature comforts. Got a great deal with the dealer, especially with the incentives that they were offerring.
