Love My Saturn

I have always driven a Ford SUV and my friend has a '99 Saturn. My Explorer had 159,000 and I needed to trade it in on something more efficient due to the gas prices. I drove a Saturn ION on a road trip and loved it!! I went to purchase the ION and discovered my L300 - more room and more standard features for less money. I'm still getting used to being closer to the ground because I drove an Explorer for 12 years. So far, I have no complaints on my L300 - I LOVE IT!! Thank You Saturn!!

I've been driving this car for 4 months now and I love it! I compared it against the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord and it had more standard features than the other 2. My wife owned a Saturn before and the special design of the frame with the "crumple zones" saved her from being seriously hurt in a really bad accident a few years ago. This was a major deciding factor in looking at Saturns. We have already decided that our next car will also be a Saturn

I had a 1998 Chevy Prism and upgraded to this, originally didn't even look at new cars thinking I couldn't afford one. I was shocked to see this car with all of these standard features for under $17k. I feel like I have more than what I had hoped for at an amazing price. Dealer was extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist us.

My 4 Year Experience with L300 V6

I should entitle this review "Why Saturn Failed". I owned several Saturn’s before this one and never had any problems, for some reason it had numerous problems and from what I understand there major defects and it wasn't just an isolated problem. The car after 4 years does look almost brand new when detailed and the leather and paint held up quite well over the years (no dents!) The numerous problems listed. 1. Serpentine belt twice, once at 40K and once at 50K? According to Saturn of Cerritos it was a defective belt? Sensor in the air pump lead to car going in and out of gears, first noticed this on the freeway, wasn't a good experience. Air conditioner failed at around 55K.

This is my 2nd Saturn. My first has over 130,000 miles with no problems, I gave it to my daughter and bought a new 300. My SL2 is still running great and my new 300 is amazing. Luxury interior, solid feel, great to drive, and much less expensive than their competitors cars with the same options. I love the car, but if you are looking for a quiet ride you may want to pay more for the Accord.
