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

My L300 burns oil at start-up like a bug fogger and after 3 month. the dip stick showed no oil. It took 3.25 quarts to bring in to full on the stick and this was the second trip to the dealer for the same problem. The dealer agrees that it is burning oil badly, but they and Saturn want me to bring it back every 500 miles for an oil consuption test. I asked why the volume was an issue instead of the problem. Saturn requires this test was the answer. A new 2005 L300 bug defogger is what I got and no one will fix the problem.

The best thing about this car is its exterior design. Even after 1 1/2 years of ownership, I continue to get compliments from others. It really stands out from all the Camrys and Accords out there. Overall, the L300 has been very dependable with only minor problems that were repaired under warranty (audio system interference & a few rattles). With a V6, this car has strong acceleration... even with just 182 hp! Saturn's lightweight design gives this car faster 0-60 acceleration than a Toyota Camry V6. Leather interior makes the L300 is very comfortable on long trips. Black leather gives the car a luxiourious feel. Don't get the cloth seats. They are hard and uncomfortable.
Needs a shower

The car has everything else you could want for a comfortable vehicle, just needs a shower to make it as comfortable as being home. The vehicle draws attention as it looks great inside and out. German made engine with four cams has plety of pwoer and drives liek a german engineered vehicle. ( Was designed as Opel Vectre GM in Germany and made in USA. German quality abounds in this car. Engine is solid with variable intake manifold and really moves. Interior is very comfortabel and traded in my BMW 3 series for it as it si more comfortabel and gets consistantly 26 to 27 miles per gallon . Great on long trips is the leather and heated seats.
