2003 Saturn L-Series

Pros: Fun to drive, responsive powertrain, sharp interior with leather, cargo space
Cons: Lacks refinement, less room than competitors, pricey

I'll admit it: Where possible I like to patronize American brands. However, I will only do so when their products are competitive. Often, they are not (as many of my reviews conclude). When they are, it is often because a foreign subsidiary contributed ...

Pros: Nice drive train, looks different than Japanese cars, plastic door panels
Cons: Not competitive with Japanese products, Feels like an Oldsmobile.

On a cold and rainy trip to Seattle I ended up getting a metallic red Saturn L series sedan. Overall it was an OK car, but I couldn't get rid of the visions of Oldsmobiles that kept running through my head. The first thing that ran through my mind ...

Pros: Interior looks, comfort, lots of options for the money
Cons: none that I can think of

The lease on our 1999 VW New Beetle was coming due, and I wanted to get a replacement. As much as we contemplated keeping the VW, the fact that we have 2 teenaged kids made the decision pretty easy. A 4 door sedan was in our future.

Now, we...

Pros: Clean styling, Saturn friendliness
Cons: some cheap interior pieces, no manual for V6

I have to admit that I sway towards American cars. When I was looking for a new car to replace my Grand Am, I went to look at the new Grand Ams first. I thought they looked a bit tacky with their over-done styling, compared to my 98 model. I had alwa ...

Pros: Saturn Friendliness, Plastic Panels, Features (when they work), and looks
Cons: Build Quality, Gas Mileage, Depreciation,

This is my 4th Saturn- but my first L-Series. I immediately fell in love with it, but after a very short time began to hate it as well. Now a year later- it's still a love/hate relationship- but I'd still recommend it. I would have probably waited and ...

Pros: Too many good things to mention in so little space.
Cons: DVD Player must be reset when the temperature is below freezing.

Before purchasing a new Saturn LW300 in 2003 I drove a Cadillac. This is surely a tough act to follow. However, I did opt for every bell and whistle offered: heated leather seats, 6 disc CD Changer and Cassette Player, On Star, DVD Player, 16 inch ...

Pros: Roomy, LARGE trunk, Nice dash style, Smart car, reasonably priced.
Cons: None, just too big for me.

I have a L200 sedan. I have owned it for just over a year. When I first got the car people actually said, "Whose Saab is parked over there?" From the back it really does look like a SAAB. I have had no problems with this car at all. I registered ...

Pros: Sleek, stylish, good gas mileage
Cons: none that I can think of

I have had 3 Saturn's each upgrades over the years but none have I loved as much as this one! We chose the baby blue with some extras. This model is an automatic transmission. We also chose the moon room with leather seats. The seats have a warmer ...
