  • Commuting Ion - 2004 Saturn ION

    I was looking for a commuter vehicle and the Ion3, loaded, was less than similiar cars I had priced. The horsepower was similiar to the others but was avaliable at lower rpms, it got 28-32 MPG, and with the incentives avaliable at that time it was a no brainer.

  • Wow! - 2004 Saturn ION

    My first car was a saturn, so I know the company and know they are reliable. I expected a lot from this car, and it delivered. The car handles like a dream, it picks up really quickly, and is just fun to drive! Its easy in traffic jams, and just fun on the open road. The build quality is awsome, the seats are really comfortable, and the ride is solid. Its great to have a car thats both functional (with tons of trunk space, folding seats, a roomy back seat, and very safe) and fun.

    I have recently purchased a fully loaded saturn ion leval 3 quad coupe. This vehicle is fun to drive and practical with great crash ratings and good gas millage. The saturn buying experiance is like no other... just drop by a saturn dealer youll see what i mean. And it is made by GM so you cant go wrong.

  • Ions Are Fuel Efficient - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I purchased my Ion back in 2006. The only repairs that I have had to perform on it was replacing the front rotors due to the roads in Jacksonville, NC and on Camp Lejeune, NC. Other than that I just perform the normal routine maintenance on it(i.e. oil change, brakes, etc). Every time I travel to Florida, I save always on gas. It is roughly 762 miles from Camp Lejeune to where I live in Florida, and I only have to fill up 3 times (thats stopping when my tank is sitting at a 1/4 of a tank). Overall, my experience with this car has been nothing but Superb. I recommend it to anyone. But do not listen to reviews, with this car you got to try for yourself.

  • WHAT a value! - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    My parner and I are auditors. We travel from 500 to 1000 miles/week. Saturns are our car of choice. We had a 2001 SL, we put 125,000 miles on it in 2.5 years. NO problems, at all. It was recently retired and replaced with a 2004 ION 1, 5 speed automatic. What a fantastic little car. The electric steering is a blast. Effortless. omfortable. Period-on that subject. Im 61, my partner is 64-the legroom and headroom is more than ample-its better than the Chevy Impala we recently rented while on vacation. Its much quiter than its predecessor, and delivers a remarkable ride for a small car. You just cant go wrong at this price!

  • Best Car Ever - 2004 Saturn ION

    Besides the Ion being an excellent car, the Saturn dealerships have excellent staff that go out of the way to make sure the customer is happy! No hassel!
