Our picks for the ten best used family sedans

Number 8: 2001-2004 Saturn L 100/200/300

Engine: 2.2-liter inline-4
Fuel Type: Regular
EPA fuel economy (city/highway): 22/30 (5-speed manual)
Price range: $7,250-$10,250
JD Power Dependability: 3.5 out of 5

Yeah, the L 100 is non-descript and forgettable (we had to look it up to remember what it looked like), but that's what makes it such a bargain. It's not a car that comes to mind for most people, so its value has not held up as well as some of the competition. Those who do buy an L Series looking for a roomy four-door sedan for family hauling and decent reliability will never forget it.
