Explore the 2003 Saturn L

Have really enjoyed the L 300,quite comfortable.

Pushing 80 yrs old [young?] I find the L300 a very nice place to be driving from Az desert to the Ca coast...it also get pretty good MPG...Great air and power everything, like the sunroof too..1st car with leather, it felt more comfortable to sit on, seemed softer...over 84,000 now and all is well...can't complain even if it dies in the next 30 or 40 thousand miles...

Frony Runner

I would own a Saturn ahead of any other vehicle. It is reliable, good-looking, mostly rust and dent-proof, and easy to care for. Frequent oil changes are the key to longevity.

Very Nice BUT!!!!!

I really, really liked this vehicle, until I found out it is no longer made, so getting parts for it was very expensive and hard. It ran great for the first few years, but it got older and had over 100,000 miles and things had been going wrong. The only way I would recommend getting this car or any Saturn, would be with on great warranty.

Never failed to get me home safe!

This car met all my needs with plenty of leg room and a spacious backseat comfy for 3 adults! ? No maintenance issues besides basic upkeep. Has better gas mileage than my current Hybrid! Hate they stopped making them. ?

I love my 2003 L300

It's fast and NOBODY knows about this car. Pretty easy to work on myself except for the tune up was a pain in my neck. Oh and figuring out the electrical wiring when i installed my stereo system was a challenge but overall I have alot of fun in this car. And am happy with it.

Nice Wagon, But Parts Becoming Scarce

I owned a loaded up LW300 and it was a nice wagon, but did require significant maintenance. Eventually lost an engine at 147k miles.
