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.

  Another great Saturn - 2004 Saturn ION
  By RACHAEL - November 29 - 10:00 am

  This makes the third Saturn in my family, I learned to drive on a 94 SL...came back to Saturn and have NO regrets! This car is great! Ive only had it for a month but already 1500miles. Performance is great, seats are comfortable, feels like a much more expensive car than it is. People smirk when I tell them I have a Saturn, until they see it or ride in it!

  By evan - October 22 - 12:06 pm

  This care has been great to drive. Its rare to find a six second car with grocery-getter gas mileage. Unsure about annual gas mileage...sorry.

  By Andrew Flood - October 21 - 2:00 am

  This Car is a great car. its fast, fun and looks good. I havent had any problems with it, exept for the recall, but every car/truck has recalls. All the poeple who buy one love it, but the editors don,t. shows how much they know.

  Little Hot Rod - 2004 Saturn ION
  By mytdawg - September 12 - 9:30 pm

  I always thought a supercharged 4 cylinder would be cool but nobody made one at an affordable price point. I saw one of the few advertisements for the Red Line and thought it would be cool. I found a demo model at 20% discount but I wasnt sold until I drove it. Most low end power Ive ever seen in a 4 banger. I was driving in 4th gear in a 25 zone and it wasnt lugging. They let me take it home for the weekend and I put 500 miles on it. I didnt want to give it back to get prepped. Stage 2 modifications made it even meaner. I drive it hard but store it through the winter. I have had no problems with it.

  Black Beauty - 2004 Saturn ION
  By alex walker - September 8 - 2:23 am

  We just traded our 2004 ION 1 in for a 2006 VUE. The ION was a great car and served our family of five well. We got up to 40 mpg on the freeway and were able to fit three car seats in the back and a double stroller in the trunk. Ours was an automatic and had plenty of punch to it when needed. Overall a great car which will be missed.

  Excellent for a $12,000 Car - 2004 Saturn ION
  By The Bohemian - September 4 - 10:00 am

  The Ion 1 is the "Deal of the Century" The no hassle buying promise is just that. I went into Saturn looking for a $12,000 car for $12,000. I got what I asked for. Other makes dealerships tried to fleece me $16,000 for a $12,000 car by adding $4.98 worth of options and telling me what a good deal I was getting. This car drives superb for an inexpensive vehicle and it is peppy, handles good,is quite, roomy and has good styling. Also the insurance companies love it and they will smother you with low rates.

  Run Away from the ION - 2004 Saturn ION
  By needanewcar5 - August 23 - 5:46 pm

  The Ion is my 3rd Saturn it will be my last. #1 and #2 were great. Now they are just any other GM. Then the lemon is #3 The ION. This car seems to be in the garage more than on the road. It is 3.5 yrs old 42k and averages a repair about every 5k. 4 break issues including completly loosing all breaks while driving. Talk about a saftey issue. The rear lights shorted out, wiper arms needed replaced, now the wipers catch on the antenna, numerous heating and cooling repairs. The dealer has been awful, each issue takes multiple trips for the dealer to make repairs. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy.
