I disagree with the Edmunds.com review of the Saturn L300 sedan. It's a quality car with sound, excellent build. The materials and features are top rate. The leather seats are plush and comfy. The 3.0L engine is powerful and responsive. Handling is as good as any car i've ever driven. The car has plenty of interior room, with an adequate trunk, but retains a small car feel, which is good in my opinion, making it easier to park.

3rd Saturn.....worse thing we did was get the L series. Glad they wont be making them anymore...Headlights and dashlights dim to the point where people think you are signaling for them to do somethingREAL safe on the highway with the big boys-NOT! The car was taken in to the service dept and we were told that it was INTERMITTENT DIMMING (FLICKERING) OF HEADLAMPS AND/OR INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING-NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC. THIS MAY OCCUR BECAUSE OF TRANSIENT CURRENT LOADS ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION per the TSB (technical service bulletin). 4cyl in the L series is weak compared to the SL2. bigger car same eng size

I wasn't considering an L300, but then I found out that Saturn has made it an unbelievable value. ALL of what I considered to be "must have" items are now STANDARD on the L300-1: Auto, AC, 6-speaker stereo with CD, front AND side airbags, ABS and traction control! All for $16,995! The L300-1 is only available with the 2.2L 4cyl Ecotec, which is very smooth. Every time I read a comparison review that slams the L300, I just scratch my head. Of COURSE it can't compete with a $24,000 Accord, but why would anyone expect it to? What they're not telling you is that you can get a LOADED midsize car for less money than any compact -- including Saturn's Ion!

It's okay, but not best

I've had my car for about 9 months and I guess the best test for customer satisfaction is that I already am looking at new cars. I love the design of the Saturn; it's classy; but I drive all the time and I find that it's not "fun" and can be downright uncomfortable as there is limited seat movement for the driver. Although the dealership was great, there were many, MANY errors and redos on the deal, making me very nervous and took over 4 months to finalize.
