Overview & Reviews
For 2007, the Saturn Ion gets more power, as output on both the 2.2- and 2.4-liter engines goes up by 5 horsepower. The powertrain warranty coverage is extended (as on all GM products) to five years/100,000 miles.
- Limited rear legroom, center-mounted instrumentation takes some getting used to, poor side-impact crash test results, below-average interior materials.

Nice Basic Vehicle - 2007 Saturn ION
By Doug - February 27 - 11:50 amI orignally purchased this car for one of my kids, but needs changed and Ive ended up driving it. Its a nice basic vehicle. It has adequate power and handles nicely, although the traction control doesnt deal with deep snow as well as it should. Gas mileage is pretty good, about 23-25 mpg in the city and up to 35 mpg on the highway. It provides reliable, economical transportation. Certainly deserves a better rating than the Edmunds Editors gave it.

Cheepest $20k toy around! - 2007 Saturn ION
By Onesmith - February 4 - 1:26 amI like the fact this car does not sell well because I would hate for some one to discover Saturns best kept secret! I like being the only one around with this car. It is all mine. Not like a Mustang or Civic or SRT4 Neon. Its rare and its fast, yet nimble. I have the carbon fiber dash kit wich adds some pizazz to the interior! I allso have GMPP stage 2. A non-voided performance upgrade from GM. The best thing is the supercharger whine! The noise the car makes under full load is amazing. I cant forget the dent resistant body panels. Going to the mall or just leaving the car in the yard I know its going to be dent free! Best car around for the price. Too bad its in its last year of production.

Great Car - 2007 Saturn ION
By LuvinmySaturn - January 13 - 5:40 amThis is a great car! It is the first Saturn that Ive ever owned and I love it! The mileage is great. I like the center dashboard and the responsiveness of the car. Currently, my car has a leaking problem, but the dealership gave me a loaner and I have confidence in them to fix it. Other than that, the car has been superb. I like the fact that if I need to accelerate quickly that it doesnt shift in to a "passing gear", but that it just accelerates!

A Headache - 2007 Saturn ION
By genine84 - December 20 - 8:45 amI purchased my 2007 Level 2 in Nov 2006 new... I did not have major problems with it until about two years ago when it began leaking gas... The fuel pump was recalled, but Saturn refused to fix it... Last year, I got a letter stating that the power steering could possibly go out on the car...Well, not long after I got that letter, it did. They still refused to fix it... Other than that, it gets great mileage and is somewhat dependable @ 190k miles...

Quite Pleased - 2007 Saturn ION
By Devon - September 25 - 5:56 amI bought this car as my first new car @ age 23 and have never had an issue. The first winter (in Maine) the tires were fairly new but it did give me some trouble on hills and with stopping. Ive liked a challenge but the 2nd winter I got studded snow tires mounted and the car went like a tank. 6-8 in of snow on a non-plowed highway and I was braving through without a care. Practically plowing myself. I did have an issue with snow building up in the wheel wells but who wouldnt. Overall, car has been great. Good fuel econ and nice sporty car for summer.

Love this car! - 2007 Saturn ION
By Renee - August 2 - 3:53 pmI love this car. I bought it new and kept it for 10 years. With regular maintenance, the only problems Ive had have been covered under recall. Ive gone through several routine break repairs. My only complaint is the components used to make this car are cheap. Seals and other plastic parts have not held up well. I had to reseal the windshield because the seal went bad and it started leaking. Im also concerned about a possible leak in the sunroof. I also drove it under snowy conditions and it handled well. Lots of room on the cabin and it had plenty of space for packing for travel. I was often amazed at how much we could fit in this vehicle when we traveled. I also fit a 6-foot ladder in it.

So far so good - 2007 Saturn ION
By romeromd - June 22 - 5:30 pmWe recently purchased a pre-owned ION and like it a lot. I work in a dealership and had always been skeptical of American made cars. I hope this Saturn proves me wrong. So far my husband and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. The one thing I dislike is the cheap plastic interior design. Otherwise it fits our needs.

Economically Purchased - Surprisingly Content - 2007 Saturn ION
By maisegem - June 19 - 7:24 amLook, Purchased vehicle in 2007 July. I wanted a vehicle that was economically and efficient for my needs. I have 105,000 miles on the vehicle since purchased. There are a few items that are cruddy, like the a/c blowers tick, the back passenger window not opening in the summer heat, the weird knock in the back.. due to the battery being in the back.. (I know when I get the oil change and they dont pop the trunk and "claim" they checked the battery... I normally get a nifty discount for their lying ways..) the interior being tiny and cheap. But, I bought a cheap car. I drive the crap out of the vehicle. It can get up to 35 mpg on solely highway driving.. I know this because I drive a lot!

Great Car - 2007 Saturn ION
By Shawn - May 20 - 7:26 pmI wanted an American car. I know this doesnt exist in the truest sense any more, but I wanted to find something made by US workers for an American maker. Ive had great luck with foreign cars in the past, and so so luck with American cars, but I wanted to support US workers as much as possible this time. I thought This is their last chance. So far the car has been great. Just what I wanted. Nothing fancy, just a commuter. 8K miles in a NE winter on mixed freeway\city roads. 31 mpg average and I make no attempt to drive efficiently. If these first 8k miles are any indication, Ill be back.

SatisfiedVeryI bought a preowned - 2007 Saturn ION
By Maclary - March 1 - 10:00 amVery happy with car but disappointed with a squeaky brake pedal. Dealer says it is a faulty booster and cannot do anything about it. Been greased two times and still squeaks.
