  • Best car Ive had - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    Ive owned Saturns for many years now. Saturn seems very committed to my satisfaction. I had hardly any problems with my old one, which was 10 years old and had 150,000 miles on it, and when I did it was inexpensive to fix. My new one is awesome.

  • I LOVE MY ICON-1 - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    DEAR SIRS, I WAS THE OWNER OF A PREVIOUSLY OWNED SATURN. I WAS CRAZY ABOUT THAT CAR, THE WAY IT LOOKED, THE WAY IT HANDLED WAS GREAT. SO WHEN I SAW THE ADD IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER FOR THE NEW IONS AND THE SALE THEY WERE HAVING I COULDNT HELP BUT TEST DRIVE ONE. I FELL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN. THE ION IS A GREAT CAR. I LIKE THE WAY IT HANDLES, I LIKE THE LEG AND HEAD ROOM FRONT AND BACK BOTH MY SONS ARE OVER SIX FEET AND THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR BOTH OF THEM.THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR TWO CAR SEATS FOR MY GRAND KIDS IN THE BACK AND THE TRUNK SPACE IS FANTASTIC AND THE BACK SEATS FOLD DOWN. EVEN THOUGH I ONLY GOT THE ION-1 I STILL LOVE IT.

    Its got the greatest lines... almost like a ballet dancer. It drives super! Great acceleration and pickup. A dream come true to navigate. Sun roof option gives you plenty of light even in winter...helps with those winter blahs. Buy this car and throw out your St. Johns wart for depression. This auto lifts your spirits.

  • Love our fifth saturn - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    We just got our new saturn last month. We love it. It is our fifth saturn since we have been married. We have been married 22 years and have 2 kids. The saturn is not only excellant in gas mileage but comfort. If you have never had a saturn and want a mid sized car then you may want to go to your closest dealer.No car dealership will treat you as saturn with the friendliest,Honest, and Caring Salespeople.

  • Excellent Commuter Vehicle - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I am rather impressed with the style and the ride of the ION 3. For a product from GM the ride is very quiet and smooth. I love the center instrument panel. It provides a clear view of the road, and allows me to have the steering wheel at level that doesnt interfere with the view of the instrument panel. Also all of the standard equipment was a big bonus. With the 3 I got the electric moonroof, electric locks, windows, AC, cruise control, cd player , 16 inch tires, and a rear spoiler, all for under 19000. You cant beat the price, plus the fuel efficiency was icing on the cake. I love my new Saturn, and I have received many great compliments on my new car.

  • The New Mustang - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I dont know what the editors problem with the vehicle is, I find it perfectly fine and people are always asking what kind of car it is. With the rear spoiler she almost looks like an improved mustang. For those afraid of getting lemons, look for a warranty on top of the one that already comes with it, that offers a 30 day/1500 mile free replacement warranty. Where if anything goes wrong with the car that is the manufacturers fault within that time frame, the car will automatically be replace, thats what I was offered at my dealership, not all may do it though.

  • Great bang for the buck - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    Ive owned my ION for over a year now and I have 0 complaints. It still runs great and Ive had no problems whatsoever. I actually like the grille of my car better than the 05 model. The interior fit and finish could be a little better, but other than that its great. I especially like the 25 mpg around town! A++

  • GREAT CAR - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    GREAT CHOICE. GREAT SERVICE. EVEN BETTER CAR. MY ION 3 SPECIAL EDITION IS SPORTY YET CLASSY AT THE SAME TIME PERFECT FOR THE QUALITY YET ECONOMICALLY MINDED. THIS CAR HAS IT ALL FOR A GREAT PRICE!
