I bought my 2002 Saturn L300 about a year ago. I did a lot of research about different cars in my price range and wound up specifically looking for a Saturn. Even with 145,000 miles on it the car is exceptional in many ways. I was concerned that I might not get good gas mileage with a 6 cylinder, but I'm actually getting better mileage than I did with my previous 4 cylinder. The handling is great... It takes turns like a smaller car. There's only one small spot of rust on the body, which is a lot better than most cars this age. The only thing I've had to have fixed on it was a rear control arm that broke when I hit a bad pothole last spring. The interior is very nice, with most all of the controls in easy to get to locations. It's very spacious and comfortable, with a large trunk, too. The one thing I would change in the interior is the location of the window controls. They're on the center console, and I would prefer them to be on the doors. The exterior styling is nice, like a lot of the mid size cars from that time, but with a bit of a classy look. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an inexpensive used car that can take the time to look around and find the best one on the market.

The Saturn SL-1 has very many pro's as it is a dependable vehicle and great on gas. I recommend this car to anyone who is a first time buyer and would like to learn how to take care of a vehicle. There is nothing in this car that isn't hard to remove, replace, or clean. Another great pro is that it is budget vehicle, which delivers way more than most budget vehicles. If I had any cons to say about this vehicle, it would be the room. I would not recommend this car to a large family, as it is a small vehicle and space is limited.

My vehicle is a complete piece of junk. I hate it. It overheats very quickly, inside and out. The tires are worn down and I'm pretty sure it is/was stolen before it was sold to me. I would never recommend this to anyone. Stay away from this car.
