2002 Saturn L300 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have experienced no mechanical problems.
General comments?
The sports suspension and 50 series tires makes the L300 stand out from the less expensive L200. Well worth it for the improvement in looks. Great acceleration and handling for a mid-size car. My car is loaded with every option available except the sunroof. (The DVD player deleted the sunroof) Plenty of leg room for adults in the rear. The leather front seats could have had a tad more cushion. The seat warmers are great and I will have them on all cars in the future. Knowing that I have side air curtains makes me feel secure. By buying a previously owned vehicle (ex-lease car) from the Saturn dealer I saved half of the sticker price for a new model and I got all the red carpet treatment and party-like showroom sendoff. Hurrah Saturn!
