Despite its stylistic shortcomings, the 2001 Saturn L-Series continued to focus on safety and performance. Changes from 2000 included optional front and rear curtain airbags, a larger 15.7 gallon fuel tank (up from 13.1 gallons), and a center seat belt in the back row. As for semantics, the L-Series added 4 new colors to the lineup. In addition, Saturn restructured the names for the 5 trims. Consumers could now choose from the L100, L200, and L300 sedans, as well as the LW200 and LW300 wagons.
Otherwise, Saturn maintained the same formula from the previous year. The 100 and 200 trims use a 2.2 L, 135 hp I4 engine. In addition, these lower grade trims get you 24 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway. The 300 trims use a 3.0 L, 182 hp V6 engine with standard 4 speed automatic and get you 20 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway. All trims seat 5. Cargo space in the sedans held steady from the previous year at 17.5 cubic feet while it increased to 33.5 cubic feet in the wagons.
Overall, 2001 Saturn L-Series owners say that they appreciate Saturn's continued commitment to value. As with other Saturn models, reviewers would like to see a more stylish exterior and interior. Engine noise also occasionally pops up as an issue. Despite these lingering concerns, those who do not mind Saturn's conservative updates and no-frills approach will like this solid midsize option.
I have a 2001 Saturn Wagon that I need some help with. I had the fuel pumps replaced twice, got a new battery, put new fuses in and still nothing. I am running out of things to do or try. It will crank but not start, it acts like it wants to start but it wont. It has a full tank of gas but the gas gauge is reading empty.
where do you check the transmission fluid
My vehicle was running just fine yesterday. This morning I stopped to grab something at the store, and when I came back to leave, I turn the key and the engine did not fire up. I did this several times and I have come up with the same results. I replaced my spark plug and my battery is fairly new. Thanks.
Ok. I have broken a part on my daughters car and no one at the auto parts stores around me can tell me what it is. Please help
Got a used Saturn a couple days ago (knowing it had problems) and I can’t seem to figure out what is causing the lights to flicker. I went and picked up a BCM from a junkyard that looked in good shape and switched them out and it did the same exact thing (except for the fact that the car wouldn’t even start now but that’s actually the BCM from the junkyard so it’s to be expected). The fact that it did the exact same thing bothers me though. Some more information; the dash lights actually stayed solid when I removed the power fuse to the BCM on the drivers side fuse box. The car runs fine other than that but I have flashing lights and no gauges help?
