Overview & Reviews

Saturn has upgraded the Ion with new fabrics, improved plastics and a new radio with MP3 and satellite radio capability. The electric steering has been revised for improved feel at highway speeds, while the sedan's five-speed automatic and the coupe's CVT have been recalibrated for improved gear selection and response. Finally, Saturn has installed additional sound-deadening material to reduce cabin noise. A Special Edition version of the sedan provides black exterior paint, distinctive 16-inch wheels and a two-tone interior.

  Love my ION - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Scott Sophos - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I am shocked that I do not see the Saturn ION on more "best lists". It is wonderful to drive, inexpensive, reliable, and my quad coupe ALWAYS receives comments on the streets for its design and looks.

  Ion 3 Coupe - 2004 Saturn ION
  By DeeBebe - September 20 - 2:00 am

  My saturn ion is a great vehicle. I have a problem with feeling safe driving certain cars and I do like driving this one. It is reliable and everyone that sees the inside tells me it looks very futuristic and that it seems that Saturn is finally stepping up to the plate.

  Love my new car - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Barbara O - September 20 - 2:00 am

  This is the first time I downscaled to a compact and the Saturn ION2 fits my lifestyle and needs perfectly. After a month of driving my Ion it has the feel of a larger car and once on a roll it keeps up with the best of them plus is fun to drive. It came equiped with all the extra features to make it not feel like a moderately priced compact car.

  Good car for the money - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Ion owner 13 - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I own a Saturn Ion 3. The sport tuned suspension offers a great deal of comfort. There is ample room for front seat passengers. Rear seat room is adequite for cars of this class. I have seen and experienced much worse, especially with Japanese and Korean models in this class size. Fuel mileage is good (especially freeway). Trunk capacity is amazing (largest in its class). There is finally an American competitor for the VW Jetta.

  I love my ION - 2004 Saturn ION
  By 1313 - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I had a few set backs when I first got the ION, Initially they thought it was a computer problem later we found out it was a user (me) problem. I used to get my Key stuck in the igntion. Saturn on a whole was very helpful in figuring out what was going on with the car and since this incident I havent had a problem. I love the love the car and the gadges in the center console are not a problem at all.

  A nice upgrade - 2004 Saturn ION
  By bklynyank - September 8 - 10:00 am

  Had a Saturn SL1. Moved up to the Ion. 50% increase in HP. Lots of power. Love the CD/MP3 system. Drove to Boston from New York listening to 1 MP3 disc. Super. Center dash took about a week to get used to. Now, its not even noteworthy. Naturally looking to center for info. A/C is heating system works great. Not that satisfied with fuel economy in city driving. Only getting around 20 mpg. Highway, its approx. 35 mph. Handling is great. Bigger is better is definitely proper description for the tires. Has got ABS and traction control. What more can anyone ask.

  The Green Machine - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Brittany - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I knew Id need a car that would do well traveling the interstate and not cost me a fortune in gas. Ive gotten that. Ive had problems with the key getting stuck in the ignition as well, & some electrical problems that seem to fix themselves. My mechanic cant ever find anything wrong with it, but as soon as we leave, itll misbehave again, but just as quick as it started it will stop. The door sensor was triggering the door being open, which made my alarm go off at random & my dome light go on and off which would kill my battery, so for about a week I had to unplug my battery when I parked. Then it just started working again. It has 85k miles & is still running great under the hood though.
