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.

  Wish Id kept my Quad Coupe - 2007 Saturn ION
  By dragonfair - July 3 - 2:26 am

  Traded in my quad coupe because it had a big bulls eye on it (kept getting hit by drivers not paying attention). Loved that car! The day I drove this car off the lot, I had a problem with the rotors being warped, then in 2008 the engine powered down twice due to a computer error that they were never able to duplicate so they couldnt fix. I live in fear that itll do it again while Im on the highway. Now, something seems off. Shaking when I slow down, squealing noise from the front left tire, feels like it bottoms out going over the tiniest bump. Idles roughly. Nothing near the mpg advertised. Wish Id just kept my other car & had it paid off by now.

  Bobs Best - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Bobs Best - January 31 - 7:20 pm

  There is no doubt but that this is the best car I have ever had in terms of quality. I have 19,000 miles on it and have not had a significant repair. All work done on the car has been routine maintenance. My son-in-law has the same car but without the fancy features and his experience is similar to mine.

  2007 Saturn ION 2 Sedan - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Orbit9090 - January 22 - 5:30 am

  Our Saturn ION 2 sedan automatic 2.2L is very quiet and smooth riding. It is noticeably quieter and smoother than our 2007 Toyota Corolla LE automatic, especially when accelerating from a stop. The IONs handling is excellent. Headroom and legroom is impressive for this class of vehicle. Average fuel mileage (27 mpg) is not as good as our Corolla (30 mpg), but the ION feels much more spacious and comfortable inside. The IONs standard steering- wheel mounted cruise-control performs perfectly.

  An afforfable car for a single lady - 2007 Saturn ION
  By sugababy - December 10 - 1:36 pm

  I purchased a Saturn because I could not afford a Toyota Corolla. However, my driving experience has been great. I drove this car from Alabama to Texas and back. It did not give me any problems. After I purchased my Saturn, one of my friends decided to purchase one. If you are in the market for an affordable and reliable car, I would strongly advise you to consider purchasing this vehicle. The monthly payments are extremely affordable too. If you are looking for luxury, honey you are looking in the wrong place. Remember that the cars main objective is to get you from point A to Point B. Thats it!

  Nice look, but... - 2007 Saturn ION
  By bmcewen1513 - April 19 - 6:03 am

  When i first learned to drive when I had my drivers permit my mom had a 2004 Saturn Ion 2, so I am familiar with the performance and drive of the vehicle. I love the way the car handles, smooth drive, and no noises. One thing I have noticed that I am not fond of is the MPG it seems to get. I had a 2001 Chrysler sebring Conv. with a 6 Cyl engine... it seemed that I got more MPG with that vehicle however it could be due to the fact that in the ION I dont notice when I am driving faster so I feel the need to push the gas harder. Id say for a 20 yr old college student its a great car for the money.

  Quite Pleased - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Devon - September 25 - 5:56 am

  I 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.

  Economically Purchased - Surprisingly Content - 2007 Saturn ION
  By maisegem - June 19 - 7:24 am

  Look, 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!

  Reliable 30 MPG - 2007 Saturn ION
  By 07saturn - November 23 - 11:09 pm

  2007 Saturn Ion company car with 163K miles. Drive 75 mph on the highway and get 30 mpg consistently. All electrical works with no problems, leather seats still look good (no rips or tears). Normal repairs with one exception. Exhaust pipe behind motor(flex pipe) is also attached to cat. converter. Over $700 for new pipe with converter at dealer. Front suspension bushings have been replaced twice. Motor runs great, uses no oil. Car is dependable and has not let me down.

  A great starter car - 2007 Saturn ION
  By MJF - August 24 - 10:06 am

  I bought the stripped down version of this car (manuel transmission and windows) for 12500 brand new and so far its been worth every penny. 30000 miles later it still runs great and gives me no problems. At 20000 the change oil light went on and stayed on thru 2 oil changes but it evenually went off. The interior is a tall persons dream as the front seats go back extremly far, making it very comfortable (im 65) The milage is constantly around 30mpg. The only downside is the lack of acceleration in the car. Even is a standard you cant beat a SUV of the line. If you want a simple no frills car that is reliable, go with this car.

  Disappointed - 2007 Saturn ION
  By Virgiinia - June 13 - 10:00 am

  Just purchased a preowned vehicle and only had it for a little over a month and have on four occasions trouble with the electric power steering. Left it at Nissan today and sending it to General Motors to be fixed. I like the Ion very much and hope the power steering can be fixed. I understand that this has been a problem with the Saturn ION
