My dad originally owned this car and once I had my license and he was able to buy a new car, I bought it from him. It's a little over 100,000 miles now, but ever since it's hit that milestone, it's been nothing but trouble. In general, I love this vehicle. It's very easy to control with brakes and an accelerator that isn't insanely sensitive like my parents' cars. For front wheel drive, it controls very well in various weather conditions. Unfortunately, it's reign didn't last long. So far there hasn't been any major issues with it, but over the past few months, I've had failed sensor and failed sensor, making me stall in traffic and once in a drive thru. First, the coolant sensor is busted, then an emissions sensor, and recently, the mass air flow sensor (twice) and now a sensor for camshaft position. Obviously, every older car is going to have it's issues but when it comes down to the point where my car stalls in traffic, refuses to turn on or to let me drive it enough to get somewhere safe-- it's stressful. I love this car but it's become heavily unreliable. I fear sitting at traffic lights, or having to come to any sort of stop for that matter. I fully expect it to do this to me again and for it to be another failed sensor.

My L300 has been back to the dealership twice for the same problem and they have done nothing about it. Two weeks ago when I brought it in they assigned me a tracking ID and said if it happens again to give them a call. When the gas tank is full and you come to a stop you can hear and feel all of the gas rushing forward. The car also makes many interior vibration noises.

I like the style of the car as well as the performance and safety features. If you want a luxury car without the luxury price go for the Saturn L300 you won't be disappointed!

I love my car! While not the best quality around, it is a good value for its price and reliability. My door handles are on the cheap side, but because Saturn won't be making the L300 anymore, they're offering all kinds of incentives to buyers such as free leather seating and thousands off the sticker price, so all in all, we like our car.
Love my Saturn

Saturn makes a great car for the money a person must pay to get one. This will be my 3rd Saturn, I have owned a 2003, 2004 and now a 2005. The people are always so friendly to me and my family. I plan to buy more Saturn's in the future. I can't wait for the new 2006 Saturn Aura. They do need to make the inside a bit more quiet. The road noise is sometimes a little loud, but that's what the advanced audio system is for. Reach over, crank it up, and the noise is gone!!!
Plastic junk

Bought it because of the 0% and have hated the car ever since. Its plastic feel and noisy ride are hideous. They do not hold any sort of resale value, and contrary to what I had heard, the customer service at the dealership has been plain horrible. What I would not give to have my Toyota back!! If you are thinking about buying a Saturn..DON"T! It's worth it to look for something better.
It could be better

I have had my l-300 for about 1 year now and I must say that I am not impressed. I have had a lot of problems with items such the climate control, tires, fit and finish of interior components with sqeaks and rattles in places i still connot find. I have kicked myself for not getting the extended warranty for this vehicle. The stereo is the top of the line but the CD changer has a mind of its own. These have all been repeat problems and I'm sure they will repeat once more before getting rid of the car. Will I purchase a new one? Doubtful

I've gotten just shy of 95K and it been a sporty, comfortable and quick sedan. It would be even better with 5 speed stick or auto. Love mine, would buy another In a heart beat.

My L300 is very comfortable with custom leather{not factory}. A great stereo system,according to my 14 yr old son. It is easy to drive & feels very safe. I'm a previous SUV owner & love my L300.I went in to get an oil change & saw this car & bought it that day.

When I started looking for cars, I did not think about a Saturn. I have relatives who were happy with theirs. I began looking at Camrys and Altimas and was not happy with the dealer's independent attitude. They said buy the cars because of their reputation. Both of these cars did not have as many standard options as the Saturn. It would have cost me thousands more. I went to Saturn I was pleasantly suprised at the friendliness of the staff. I test drove the car it has very good acceleration. It is fully loaded with options Camry and Altima do not have. It is an attractive car inside and out. It is not a popular car but the people I spoke to who drove one all liked them very much.
