  • red line is red hot - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I have owned nothing but pure Detriot V8 muscle and have always laughed at 4 cylinder vehicles. In the recent higher gas prices I decided to go ahead and try a fuel efficent vehicle that would be fun to drive. I shopped around all the dealerships looking for that perfect vehicle. Dodge SRT/4, Honda Civic Si, Subaru WRX STi, and Ford Focus SVT were the ones I was impressed by until I test drove the Saturn Ion Red Line. I fell in love from the moment I turned the key. The feel of the Recardo seats, the low roar of the supercharged engine through the beautifully sounding exhaust. And the best handling in its class.

    This car has held its quality and style over the past four years and looks and performs just as good or better than all the new cars out there. A definite good investment.

    My ION is a fun, sporty and great looking car. I am very happy with it. Being brand new just 500 miles on it I cannot bring forth any troubles yet. And hopefully it will be as dependable as my last Saturn. It meets all my needs and thensome. Great auto, and the dealership is awesome. I would recommend this auto to anyone who asks.

    Ive had two GM cars, including the ION and have been very satisfied. My last GM car a 1992 Buick Regal had almost 200000 miles when I turned it in.

  • Love My Saturns - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I leased my first Saturn in 2001. That was such a wonderful experience that, when my lease was up, I decided to just get a new Saturn. I picked the 2004 ION 2. Once again, it was a winner. Never had a problem. Sadly, my car was declared a loss during hurricane Katrina, when it was flooded. I am now returning to Saturn to lease a 2006 ION 2. I have looked at and driven other vehicles, but for my money, nothing beats a Saturn in reliability, standard features or performance in the price range.Last , but not least, their support personnel is outstanding.I must also mention that, neither one of my Saturns ever needed a repair.

  • No longer skeptical of new models. - 2004 Saturn ION

    We really enjoy driving this car. Good acceleration. Tracks and handles well. Plenty of room in trunk and fold down rear seats allow large cargo. Has all the bells and whistles and it all works just as it should. Electronic steering takes a little while to get used to. Easy to park and the dent resistant side panels are great. Some people thought we had a "Mercedes."

  • Awesome - 2004 Saturn ION

    I love my ion quad coupe! Its been the best car Ive ever driven. I had three or four problems with the car but they were fixed free of charge and the car has been perfect since those problems.
