2000 Saturn L-Series

Pros: Euro Feel, Smooth Engine, Great storage, A Drivers Car

Cons: loose and poorly fitted plastic

Review: Having driven this car for 3,000 miles now, I would like to make some observations beyond my initial review.

After doing some extensive research and test driving 9 different automobiles, I decided on the Saturn LS1. The main reasons for...

Pros: Bigger size and much roomier, more options and features including safety, price, very dependable

Cons: Nothing major

Review: My parents recently bought my sister the new Saturn LS, and lucky me, I got to drive it for a week while she flew home. I currently own a Saturn SL1 '97 (and before that an SL'95) so it was fun to try out the new (highly advertised) Saturn LS.

...

Pros: Safety features,stiff body structure and the independent suspension gives you a ride comparable to European imports, Kevlar impregnated timing belt, oil life monitor

Cons: No cons with the car, customer service difficulty with some independently owned Saturn dealers

Review: The phenomenal LS2 6 cylinder 2000 Saturn, what a car! It represents inspiration at it's best! Why do I use a word such as inspirational? Consider a standard option such as a oil life monitor. A monitor that takes into consideration the length of...

Pros: roomy, great for those big and small

Cons: hard to see out the rear window because of high trunk

Review: I bought my Saturn LS2 2000 in November of 1999. At that time I was possibly carrying twins and we needed a car that would be both roomy and safe. We originally were going to buy a truck but the prices were just out of hand for even a base model.
...

Pros: Reliable, accelaration, roominess

Cons: bad press, OEM tires

The Bottom Line: Still going strong after 5 years!

Review: I bought this car new in '00. I wasn't looking for a wagon but I really liked the space once I drove both the sedan and wagon. It was a choice between the Saturn and an Accord. I didn't notice a lot of difference in ride, performance, handling or for ...

Pros: Fun Car, Nice power for a 4cyl, Nice CD player. Friendly Saturn Service.

Cons: Side view mirrors!

The Bottom Line: I hope Saturn re-designs the side view mirrors in the 2002 model. Definitely not your father's "American Made" car!

Review: This car has been more fun to drive than I ever imagined. I purchased it "pre-owned" with under 2000 miles on it, so I only paid $15,500 for it. The LS1 cloth seats are very comfortable and supportive. The seats are very adjustable for hard driving....

Pros: Great gas mileage, fantastic warranty and service, classy looking, can tow with automatic transmission, price is low, holds their value.

Cons: will give you a fair trade in on your car but will not deal

Review: Last Fall we bought a SL2 Saturn. BOY, DO WE LOVE OUR CAR. The main reason we bought it is that it gets GREAT GAS MILEAGE. It gets 35 MILES to a gallon on the highway and at 26 MILES to a gallon in town. Considering the price of gasoline these...

Pros: Great family car, good performance, lots of extras

Cons: Front brakes shed black dust

Review: I've been the proud owner of my Saturn LS-1 for about 10 months now. This is not my first Saturn. Almost exactly a year before we bought this car we had purchased an SL, with which we were quite pleased. At the time, the dealer had given us information...

Pros: Drives like a sports car, as roomy as the Camry or Accord

Cons: Window buttons are hard to get used to near the floor shifter

Review: I recently traded in my 1995 Toyota Camry for a 2000 Saturn LS2. I went to the Toyota dealership first and was not treated like they wanted me there, so I went next door to the Saturn dealer, what a difference!

I purchased from Saturn partly...

Pros: stylish, zippy (6-cyl), solid feel, price, warranty service, dent-free panels

Cons: window control placement, some warranty work needed, size of gas tank

The Bottom Line: Buy a Saturn LS-2. It rides well, gets decent mileage (26 hwy), is priced right compared to other cars with the same features, and NO MORE DOOR DINGS. Yay!

Review: The Saturn LS-2 is a pretty terrific car for the money. Here's the story of how we made our decision:

CAR SHOPPING: We didn't know we were doing it, but last summer my husband and I went shopping for a new car. We told ourselves that we would...
