  • Love my new Ion - 2004 Saturn ION

    Great handling, economy priced, I moved down from a full size car and I am not disappointed in the Saturn. Dealership was wonderful and continues to be helpful with questions. Handling is easy and fun to drive. Enough bells and whistles to feel like a more expensive car.

  • 2004 Saturn Ion Redline - 2004 Saturn ION

    I was recently a proud owner of a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline. I lost this amazing car to a T-Boning. This car is a blast to drive. With a 205hp supercharged LSJ, this car got up and went. The transmission was excellent with very solid shift points.The interior was a little bizarre but it had a very good feel. It was ergonomic and comfortable. The steering was awesome and precise but with all front wheel drive cars, you have torque steer, and this car had some torque. This car gets between 23 and 27 miles per gallon, so not the best for a four banger, but again this car is supercharged and I gunned it a lot.Again this car is a blast to drive, I’m proud to of owned this car.

    The ION2 is a fun car to drive, it is very quiet and comfortable, ease of parking and plenty of headroom.

    I recomend this car. Got the coupe in silver and love the style and design of the out side with the rear spoiler. The quad coupe was a great idea. Gives you the sporty look of a coupe with the practicality of a four door. Like the simplicity of the design inside. The dealers low presure aproach to sales and good customer service is great. Fun car to drive.

  • Cute, spunky, inexpensive - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    As an older person, Ive had many different types of cars. Before buying, I test drove different minivans, full size vehicles, 2 door cars, 4door cars, midsize, full size, trucks, etc. I found the ION to have spunk. It feels like it wants to get up and go. Handles well, with very good mileage. It gets 36mpg on the highway. The leather seats are a bit stiff, but thats better for my back problem. Even my husband loves to drive it. Any time you can get him to give up his new 3/4 ton black Avalanche with the biggest motor and Suburban-like ride to drive an electric lime ION, you have to have a fun, cool car. Front opening rear doors make getting in and out of the back seat and getting stuff out so much easier
