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.

This is America, Buy an AMERICAN CAR - 2004 Saturn ION
By LJSaturn - December 29 - 2:00 amI can see that this car got poor ratings because it isnt from Japan..well screw that. This is the best car EVER, and its AMERICAN. Saturns are reliable, built well, reasonably priced, great on gas, cheap to insure and SAFE. I wouldnt conform to supporting foreign cars if you paid me, I love GM.

Im gonna miss this car - 2004 Saturn ION
By captreynolds - October 2 - 10:30 amI bought this car 4 years ago with 59K miles already on it. 2 months ago, I totalled it in a rollover. First off, Im completely unscathed--I had a couple minor cuts and a little whiplash. Secondly, in 4 years, I took this car to 147K miles--nearly 90K miles--and I had one major repair around 125K, when my timing belt tensioner went out. I had another repair bill over a grand about 5K miles earlier, but that was for the AC fan, wheel bushings in both front wheels, alignment, a radiator flush, and a tuneup. You know, normal wear and tear. This car ran and ran and ran and ran, with good fuel economy (~26-29 mpg) a smooth ride (though a little noisy) in almost all weather. Would buy again.

Saturn ION Review - 2004 Saturn ION
By Dinerobill - August 6 - 10:00 amOverall a very nice car. I had been a Honda driver for many years but local dealershiop began high pressure sales techniques so, so long Honda. I really enjoyed doing business with folds at Saturn. I have even brought my car back to dealership for scheduled maintenance.

My Coupe - 2004 Saturn ION
By Twos Girl - August 6 - 10:00 amI love my new Saturn coupe. It is extremely reliable and fuel efficient. My car normally can get approximately 35 miles to the gallon driving mostly highway. I have incurred a broken heat shield on my muffler but instead of Saturn welding it back in place, they replaced the entire muffler. Saturn has wonderful representatives who are very helpful in assisting you with any problems or questions you might have.

Still lovin it after 4 years - 2004 Saturn ION
By BeccaHughes - July 23 - 4:16 pmThis is my second Saturn, first was a 2001 SC2. Have loved them both. Side- body panelling is indeed dent resistant. In fact, I was rear-ended at 10-15 MPH and there was nothing to show for it! My husband bought the 2006 Ion 2 because he liked mine so much, but I still prefer driving mine, even though his has a more powerful engine. Ive only needed one minor repair in 4 years, and it was easily completed during a routine service appointment at the dealership.
