2001 Saturn L200 L review from North America
"Nice car, but not worth the aggravation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had the ignition switch replaced.
Dealer replaced Catalytic converter due to a recall.
I've already replaced the interior dome light and the left back brake light due to inferior parts.
Replaced the trunk seal, which has gone bad and caused leaking into the trunk compartment.
Timing chain just broke at 68,000 miles, and now I have to replace the engine.
General comments?
Overall, I enjoy this car. It offers a lot of space in the interior. The trunk is one of the largest I've ever seen! (Bigger than my friend's Mercedes) I like the look of the car and have received many comments on it. The car responds well on the gas and handles well on rough roads.
The timing chain just broke, and I found out that my brother had the same problem with his Saturn S-series, as had a friend of mine.
