  very satisfied in NY - 2004 Saturn ION
  By satisfied in NY - February 3 - 1:20 pm

  The car is fun to drive and gets excellent gas mileage. Love the polymer door panels no dings from parking lots. We bought the car new in 2004 and have put 80,000 miles on it other than tires and front wheel bearings the only thing we have done is oil changes. We bought the upgrades of Anti lock brakes and traction control. The car is great in central NY winters and has been dependable since the day we bought it.

  Great car-despite the critics! - 2004 Saturn ION
  By DaisyNJ - January 21 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. She drives like a dream-smooth, great handling and WAY more pick up than the other sedans I have owned. Despite the critics comments that the back seats are uncomfortable-I have had 6 people comment and how great they are. I love the instrument panel in the middle-it makes your drive so much easier. No more looking through the steering wheel to see your speed. The roomy interior is one of the best features. My 64" buddy can join me with no problem. My only complaint is the interior fabric. The stains do not come out BUT luckily, they have fixed that for 2004 modfel year. Overall, this is the best car I have owned.

  This car has my name! - 2004 Saturn ION
  By Ione - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I first saw this car on a bill board in St. Louis. I was trying to decide what kind of car I should buy and then here is this pretty, sporty car on a bill board saying, Here is your new car ION,- ------------------ by Saturn. My name is IONE and at first glance I thought that is what the sign said. I did not run right out and buy the car, I waited a few months. I love it, it is so much fun to drive, but it is small, but then I am single!

  Bought in 2004, still love & own it! - 2004 Saturn ION
  By toms04ion - December 11 - 5:38 pm

  I bought this Ion new on 10/28/03 and have enjoyed the last 143k miles. Sure, in the beginning there were some bugs to work out, wiring harness, computer glich, shifter block and a few other small bulletin items that the Saturn dealer dilligently fixed. Other than general maintenance, the only thing replaced was the ignition switch. Each set of tires has gotten 55k, and the oem battery got over 5 years of use. The car has been extremely reliable. Since 25k, the car runs on Mobile 1 and a K&N filter, this has made a difference on mpg. Sometimes I think of selling to get a new car, cant justify it, do a comp with a Cruze, size, power,features, vertually same car! Not sexy, but delivers!
