    Terrible reflections from dash to interior windshield. Dash lighting(red lamps are terrible. You can see them at night but in the day time they are impossible to read. Noisy rude. Interior finish is also below standard. No dash control for Cabin light. Interior room is lacking . Nowhere to put Items when you are traveling. Coffe holders are too small.

    I have no complaints about my Saturn ION 2. Its a solid compact car. I love the exterior design. It handles very well on the road. Excellent gas mileage. Good power. Easy handling . I think its a solid little car. A very good family car. I have the car two years. It runs perfect, no mechanical problems. I would recommend this car highly to anyone looking for a solid car.

    I have recently purchased a fully loaded saturn ion leval 3 quad coupe. This vehicle is fun to drive and practical with great crash ratings and good gas millage. The saturn buying experiance is like no other... just drop by a saturn dealer youll see what i mean. And it is made by GM so you cant go wrong.

  • Ions Are Fuel Efficient - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    I purchased my Ion back in 2006. The only repairs that I have had to perform on it was replacing the front rotors due to the roads in Jacksonville, NC and on Camp Lejeune, NC. Other than that I just perform the normal routine maintenance on it(i.e. oil change, brakes, etc). Every time I travel to Florida, I save always on gas. It is roughly 762 miles from Camp Lejeune to where I live in Florida, and I only have to fill up 3 times (thats stopping when my tank is sitting at a 1/4 of a tank). Overall, my experience with this car has been nothing but Superb. I recommend it to anyone. But do not listen to reviews, with this car you got to try for yourself.

  • Needs More Power - 2004 Saturn ION
    By -

    The ION is great for around town driving. It loses out on freeway driving. Especially during summer when AC is on and headlights are on at night. There is no reserve power. Car shakes and rattles over 65 mph. Suspension is typical Saturn - you feel every bump in the road. We bought it because the price was right; resale ok as well. Plan to sell it late July or August.
