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.

  cant beat it for the price - 2004 Saturn ION
  By toby rensland - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I have been selling saturns for almost 7 years now and finally glad to see that we are able to build a car that will compete in the japanese import market and in most cases blow them out of the water....

  2004 Saturn Ion 2 - 2004 Saturn ION
  By kmacarthur - January 6 - 1:00 am

  This is my second Saturn, and it gets the job done. It is a reliable vehicle, I was fortunate in finding a very clean used car. One thing that has happened in both of my Ions is that the outlets cease to work at somepoint. I am assuming its something simple, I just have not had it checked out yet. But either way, it has happened in both cars. I know Im not the only one who has had issues with the key getting stuck in the ignition. Again, this happened on both cars. Overall, it really isnt a bad vehicle especially for someone who commutes. Its a little glitchy, but it gets me from A to B.

  2nd Saturn Ive Owned!! Theyre Awesome - 2004 Saturn ION
  By rabecke - December 31 - 2:00 am

  Saturns are always reliable and economical. I am only 21 and have chosen to buy from Saturn twice. My 1996 SL1 never broke down on me and when it was time for a new one, I couldnt resist the ION Quad Coupe! Thanks Saturn!

  Saturn ION 2 - 2004 Saturn ION

  The front end of the car makes dull popping sounds when driving over rough surfaces and shimmies as well. Told it was the rotors. Loud interior noise. Seats are the most uncomfortable things I have ever sat in. Cloth is cheap and stains easily. Exterior looks good. Like the body lines of the car. Engine revs up on its on accord. Transmission shifts very rough. Cheap materials used in production of this car.

  Great Car - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Dan Hurd - December 5 - 12:06 pm

  This car is all I expected and more. Handles great. Comfortable and roomy. Solid feel. Love the plastic side panels (this car looks new after 4.5 years). Excellent styling. No maintenance issues. Very powerful acceleration and cruises nicely - I have found myself doing 90 when I am not paying attention. For the base saturn this is quite a car.

  ION - 2004 Saturn ION
  By misty - November 19 - 1:36 pm

  I have had my car for a little over a month, and so far I really love it!! My husband says there is not enough leg room in the front passenger seat unless the kids are not in the car, and the upholstery does stain very easily (from water!), but I get great gas mileage (25-28mpg city, 32-35 highway). There is a little engine rattle, but other than that it is great! I love the way it looks. It is quite comfortable for me. I like the center gauge feature, and it is really fun to drive!

  I Love My ION! - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Susieq1975 - November 19 - 2:00 am

  The people at the dealership were friendly and NOT pushy! They didnt bug me about extras and only explained what i asked. Wonderful experience! Before I even went to the dealership, i called and told them what car i wanted and what features i wanted. Within hours, they had the exact car available for a test drive. Not just an hour long test drive, but a 24 hour test drive. By the end of the 24 hours, I was in love.

  fun to drive - 2004 Saturn ION
  By danirae - November 13 - 2:00 am

  I feel that the car is cool to drive around in. Alot of people have stopped to ask me what it is... how the doors work(in quad coupe) and to generally comment on how much they like it.

  By AJ WOOD - November 13 - 2:00 am

  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR!!! I TEST DROVE THE CIVIC, CAVALIER, SUNFIRE, MAZDA 6, 3, AND MITSUBISHI LANCER... NONE OF THEM EVEN COMPARE WITH THIS ION, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE PRICE!!! THIS 04 ION ROCKS! YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR. I DONT UNDERSTAND THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS BY THE SO- CALLED "EXPERTS"... THE 04 ION WAS THE MOST COMFORTABLE, INNOVATIVE, MOST POWERFUL, APPEALING, AFFORDABLE, ROOMIEST CAR IN ITS CLASS... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

  Smart Car !! - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Ashoper - November 3 - 10:00 am

  This thing is about the smartest vehicle on the market. The lightweight, plexifiberglas automobile feels just great to drive. It has a dentfree body and the car is pretty fuelefficient. Great, great, great !! And -- its not a box !! The quality is the same than any other car built somewhere around the world. Any car can be made on any assemblyline anywhere anyway. Saturn ION 3 Coupe = Smart car !!
