Overview & Reviews
Saturn has upgraded the Ion with new fabrics, improved plastics and a new radio with MP3 and satellite radio capability. The electric steering has been revised for improved feel at highway speeds, while the sedan's five-speed automatic and the coupe's CVT have been recalibrated for improved gear selection and response. Finally, Saturn has installed additional sound-deadening material to reduce cabin noise. A Special Edition version of the sedan provides black exterior paint, distinctive 16-inch wheels and a two-tone interior.

At 2 1/2 Saturn ION Still Fun to Drive - 2004 Saturn ION
By njame - October 12 - 4:40 pmAfter 2 1/2 years of ownership and 51,000 miles, I still get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from driving my Saturn ION 3 Quad Coupe. Its body is still shiny, sleek, and beautiful, it still has great pick up, and it still gets around 30 mpg for me overall. Ive had no mechanical problems, and only regular maintenance such as oil and filter changes, wiper blades, and two new tires so far. I really like that it tells me when to change its oil.

Not as good as SL Series - 2004 Saturn ION
By Mike S. - October 2 - 2:43 pmVery good mileage and such things as tires, brakes, last a long time. I am still on the original brakes. However, have had the ignition switch changed twice for passlock failure during cold months. Also had a bad turn signal light and left headlight wiring harness. Very noisy body rattles during the winter months. So bad I thought my Mcpherson struts were bad. Trans seal went and cost $300 to fix. As weather warmed up, body rattles went away. New Saturns probably wont have that problem as panels are no longer plastic. I also own a 97 SL1 Saturn which has 109K on it. I dont expect this car to last as long. It is a glorifed Chevy Cobalt. Not sure my next car will be a Saturn

Junk dont buy it - 2004 Saturn ION
By Amurtadi - September 15 - 3:30 pmION2, Bought it new in 2004 for $20K thinking that I made a good budget decision but I had electrical problems since then. Burnt light bulbs, non functioning turn signals, non functioning fob. Took it to the dealer at least 6 times for electrical problems, 2 for Suspension problems, and once for rain water sneaks into the trunk. I discovered that because I needed to jump start it. You can pull the key out when it is on the acce. position without noticing and that will cause the battery to run dry.Interior is so cheap and is falling apart. Everything rattles, CD player gets stuck. Verdict Junk Junk Junk.

Edmunds is Rude - 2004 Saturn ION
By ndspelman - September 5 - 2:00 amIf you havent noticed by now, every compact/economy car, the edmunds ratings have been "sub-par." whatever, i guess if you compare the saturn ion to lets say a lexus, than hmmm, maybe it is a little less than---maybe perfect! But lets be realistic, what do you expect for $17000. Anyway, this is my second saturn, the first trade in was a 97 sl2 with 180000 miles! This one will take that trip as well. I love saturn, i love the ion, and my next will be the Vue. GO ION!!!!

Saturn ION3 - 2004 Saturn ION
By Disnydude1 - September 5 - 2:00 amAfter having this ION 3 for 1 week, I am totally in love with it. All the automatic features are awesome. The pickup is great for a 4 cyl. engine. It rides beautifully and handles great. There is plenty of room for me in the front.

By berbbel - September 5 - 2:00 amIm very pleased with the ION. Perfect first car for my daughter at a great price-competitive with used. Fun to drive for my wife and me as well. Someone should get a life when they critique the flat seats.
