I cannot say enough about the standard features on this car. It far surpasses the competitors in the same price bracket. Front and side airbags, auto headlamps... the list goes on. The drive is great for what I paid and the motor, although small, has a lot of brass with my aftermarket, high-flow air filter. The interior, to say the least, is great for a product of GM's designers and at just under 50,000 miles, the car looks and runs great- mostly thanks to dent-resistant doors and front quarters.

I have an 03 L200. I have had it in the shop every week for 3 months. Have had fixed everything from computers to engine cradle. and at the present moment it is in the shop for fuel pump that has gone bad. Had the Horn replaced 5 times. All Saturn would do is repair the items at there cost due to mileage in the first year. 30K +

Sice I bought my vehicle in Oct 2003, it has been in the shop for repairs almost every month, sometimes multiple times in a month, since I got it. Saturn has been trying to fix it, but once they fix one thing, something else comes up wrong with it. I would not recommend this model vehicle from Saturn.

We purchased two Saturn's at the same time. Ion 3 and L-300. No longer have the Ion, but have paid off L series and have decided to keep it. Car gives me just about every feature someone could desire. I feel it is one of the all time best values ever offered. The safety ratings are nothing to sneeze at either. Put a set of Voxx wheels and Michelin tires on and no one could believe what a true difference they made in overall appearance. Fuel economy at 24 mpg is totally in line. Have taken it from Fla. to NJ several times and comfort level was very sufficient. ( I am 215lbs.)Granted it isn't a Lexus or Caddy but, for what is is I feel there is no better out there.I will hold on to this car.
This car exemplifies why GM is dying.

This is honestly the worst car I've owned since my 86 Chevy Celebrity. Every time I get into the, I'm in a foul mood because of the harsh ride, vague and indirect steering, poor seat support and comfort, high levels of wind and road noise etc etc etc. I have read other reviews on Edmunds of this car, and I'm shocked, and wonder if people are writing about the same car! It gets poor fuel economy, shifts abruptly, has poor suspension dampening, has an interior that looks like it was designed by Play Skool. Panels are broken and worn out, trim has rough, undesirable textures and the fabric is faded from black to grey. It comes down to the fact that this is the worst car I've ever owned.
