This is my second Saturn L-Series and our 7th Saturn in our family. Saturn sales and service is A+. Their cars are very good value, reliable and fun to drive. In summary, I love my Saturn L and ions.
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.
The Word is VALUE

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!
Well..

I purchased a 2002 Saturn wagon in Dec 03. I also had bought one in 93. I loved the one I had 10 years ago, but this new one just doesn't work for me now. My kids are bigger, and I just downsided from a Chevy Astro van, I went from a seating capacity of 8, to 5, lost a lot in cargo space & leg space, plus I can no longer see over/around cars in front of me. On the mechanical side, I had to replace the water pump after only owning it for 5 weeks, I checked the service report and it's 2 pages long! EEK!
Never Again

I have had my L300 for a little less then a year and had no problems until I had been in an accident. I then found how poorly the car is built. The infastructure is solid but the body is a cosmetic nightmare that is barley held together. I think I could do better with chewing gum and duct tape. I will never buy another. I also hate having poor fuel economy. I am also having problems with oil and coolent leaks.
