What Owners are Saying About the 2000 Saturn L-Series
"Great Car - Too bad GM messed with Saturn"
"I agree with a previous poster. I don't know why this car got bad reviews. I have put 90k miles on it in 5 years (118k total). My biggest expense was maybe $200. Don't let the dealers sell you maintenance - follow the book - it requires very little maintenance. I think thats why the dealer always wanted me to trade it in. They made this car too good. It doesn't provide the dealer with any service revenue!"
"I love my Saturn"
"Great ride. No engine issues at all. Recalls fixed by dealer with no issues. Would buy again if they still made Saturn Happy Loyal Satisfied Customer Heidi"
"A JOY to own and drive!!"
"I love this 4-cyl. I had always been taught by my mechanic husband to stir clear of 4-cyl. But I bought this car and absolutely love it. Ease of handling, gas milage approx 32 mpg, just a great all around vehicle I am a Senior Citizen driver and this car is exactly what I needed!! NOTE: The engine in my Saturn L-200 is a 2.0 NOT a 2.2 as KBB indicated as ONLY choice."
