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.

  Do not buy-not safe!! - 2007 Saturn ION
  By tobrien017 - May 25 - 12:20 am

  This car is known for steering problems. The steering locks up while driving causing an extremely unsafe condition. Saturn is aware of this problem and has not notified owners or issued a recall. You will have to fix at your own expense (a hefty one). Saturn needs to address this issue before somebody gets killed.

  One of my favorites - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Phil Badome - March 17 - 12:56 am

  Saturn has come along way for sure. This is only one of their great line, but I chose the ION for the sport of driving. Manual shift for total control of this Ion-3 2.4 175HP. Totally functional, plenty of room, the doors for the rear are cool too. All in all, this car is fun. It moves when I ask it to, and I hate being on highways when Im in overdrive, because theres no shifting necessary. At the same time, the cruise control works perfectly with the manual shift overdrive. Before I get home though, I take a few trips around the block to keep the shifting going. Of course, if you prefer less work, you get the same fun out of this car. This car ranks up there with my favorite cars

  Have to defend my ION! - 2007 Saturn ION
  By TheTaxWizard - November 3 - 11:03 pm

  I have to defend this car. Have had mine for 14 months and with the exception of a tiny bit of wind noise (Saturn will fix it) the car is great. No, I am not in any way affiliated with Saturn or GM. In fact, this is the first American car I have owned new since 1979. Folks, its a $20,000 car, not a $40,000 SUV. When I drive well, I get an avg city/hwy of 33mpg. I use only good gas-Union, Shell, Chevron, etc. I change the oil every 3,000 miles no matter what the OnStar report says. I keep the tires inflated properly and clean the air filter every 6 mo (dusty area) Frankly, I was very happily surprised as I have been very soured on American cars.

  This care is unsafe. Ticking time bomb. - 2007 Saturn ION
  By solofreerunner - July 11 - 2:42 am

  this car is unsafe and terrible. problems since day one. inside falls apart, had a gas leak (could have been fatal), steering problems, brake problems. my wife was driving her 2007 saturn ion on november 5th 2010 on the way to work when the steering wheel locked completely and the brakes did not work. she had no choice but to roll through a stoplight and was almost hit from both sides. sounds like a lawsuit to me. all these cars should be destroyed. i am embarrassed to drive this car. my wife deserves better. saturn went out of business probably because their customer service is terrible, and so are their cars. they charged us one hundred dollars "just to look" at the brakes when they...

  Worst purchase of my life - 2007 Saturn ION
  By crysania - May 17 - 2:12 pm

  I bought this car used in 2009 with about 32k miles on it. Loved the look of it and it drove great. I had about one year of good driving and then its been nothing but problem after problem. Wheel bearings, front bushings, AC gone, multiple check engine light problems that result in expensive repairs or a mechanic who cant find the problem as it comes and goes. Ive sunk more money into this car in just a handful of years than I did in all the years of owning cars previously.

  very reliable!!! - 2007 Saturn ION
  By suntan78 - March 27 - 9:36 pm

  2.4 has been a great car low maintenance other than the recalls with power steering and fuel pump the car has not had any problems. put gas in and go. owned it since new in 2007 regular maintenance. Only thing I dont have to worry about is my car it always starts and drive anywhere I need it be it a short trip or across Florida. I have the larger motor 2.4 average 24 city and 29 highway. No regrets buying this car most reliable car of my 20 cars Ive owned.

  1 year down the road - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Dave - December 18 - 2:56 am

  I bought an Ion3 Quad Coupe 2.4 based on the test drive. I was replacing a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3. I found the Ion3 has a softer ride & corners better. Much less lean. I have not had to return it to the dealer for other than routine required maintenance. I liked my Focus but I love my Ion3. Both equipted with auto trans. The Ion3 is just a more comfortable car to drive. I have not had it on any trips on the highway, just in city driving. I check my mileage on each tank & it is about 25-26 MPG. I have no clue what the highway milage is. I am just as pleased with the car today as the day I bought it. Dent resistent panels are a plus, too bad 07 is the last year for them.

  Pleased - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Pleased - December 4 - 5:40 am

  I bought my Saturn used (22000 miles). Ive only had it for 4 months, but I am extrememly pleased. Gas mileage is great 26/27 in town, 31/33 highway. I find that the car has plenty of power and I like the ease of parking. The only drawback is the comfort level. Im not a small guy, 511" 250+. I find that theres not a lot of leg room for the driver. Of course I was driving an F150 before.

  Would not reccomend - 2007 Saturn ION
  By inpeaces - September 22 - 5:33 am

  This car has been nothing but trouble for me, in the 1yr of owning it I have had to replace the headlights (apparently they had cracked and there was about a cup of water in each), the electrical system is very touchy (not fun having your seemingly brand new car stall at a light) and to put the icing on the cake my right side mirror fell off, no I did not hit anything, it simply fell off while driving.. Also it gets no where near the estimated gas millage, I might as well be fueling a truck for as much gas as this car eats up. It will take a lot for me to buy from Saturn again.

  Gotta Luv Saturns Best Kept Secret - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Darkvette - July 21 - 8:16 am

  Great overall car. Most people are surprised when I say its a Saturn. Also surprised when I say its exactly the same as the Chevy Cobalt SS. A very unique, rare and special car. There were only about 530 Redlines produced for 2007. Fuel efficient, fun to drive, and great acceleration on the highway.
