2002 Saturn L300 review from North America
"Too bad I didn't catch the bad valve guides before I completed the purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad valve guides found after I bought it.
Blue smoke came out of the exhaust pipes when started after the car sat for a few hours.
Was covered under dealer warranty.
General comments?
Car is sound and feels safe.
Front windshield has good visibility.
Power steering is great.
No ashtray option for after purchase for those who smoke.
Cigarette lighter slot is a charger plug not a lighter plug.
Cup holders would be better farther away from the driver.
