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.

Dont Buy GM! - 2007 Saturn ION
By Outraged - June 9 - 4:50 pmPurchased brand new. This car is beyond fixable. To start, had problems with the knocking noise coming from rear, never repaired, radio went out under warranty, wheel bearings went out, power steering goes out intermittently even after having repaired just 6 mos ago. Car now will not shut off! GM wants to act as if they arent associated with the vehicle but its one of their products. Needless to say, Ill never buy an American made car again!

Worst Car I have ever owned... - 2007 Saturn ION
By Rich Anderson - July 5 - 12:51 pmI bought this car only 7 years old with 95,000 for my daughter. The shocks and struts had to be replaced, and even after that it made horrible creaking sounds from underneath. It had 6 or 7 factory recalls. One was that the key could be removed from the ignition even when the car was running! Crazy - but when I took to the dealer they refused to replace the ignition switch because they said it had been done 1 year prior. If so they put another bad one in! Next the gas tank leaked - and had to be replaced - $300. Never had that happen to a car before! Replaced a couple sensors and check engine light came on again a couple months later. I have owned 15-20 cars in my life and this was by far the worst - even worse than an old MG Midget I had. I will never buy any GM product again - I should have known better. I only have 1 good thing to say about this car: The battery is in the trunk, so when - predictably - I had to replace that it was super clean. Yay!

This care is unsafe. Ticking time bomb. - 2007 Saturn ION
By solofreerunner - July 11 - 2:42 amthis car is unsafe and terrible. problems since day one. inside falls apart, had a gas leak (could have been fatal), steering problems, brake problems. my wife was driving her 2007 saturn ion on november 5th 2010 on the way to work when the steering wheel locked completely and the brakes did not work. she had no choice but to roll through a stoplight and was almost hit from both sides. sounds like a lawsuit to me. all these cars should be destroyed. i am embarrassed to drive this car. my wife deserves better. saturn went out of business probably because their customer service is terrible, and so are their cars. they charged us one hundred dollars "just to look" at the brakes when they...

Big Mistake - 2007 Saturn ION
By Christina3110 - June 17 - 3:36 amLEMON! This car is nothing but problems. First a head gasket replacement at 24000 miles then the power steering went at 32000 miles and now the front wheel drive is all jacked up. overall a terrible running car with way too many problems for the mileage and year purchased and I only drive to and from work, no hard driving. Very cheap feel to it and not reliable at all. I would love to have my Civic back!!!

They say I just have buyers remorse - 2007 Saturn ION
By madcustomer - January 28 - 2:56 amThis car is & always has been a serious junk. Multiple problems: shifter (possibly clutch) problems, floor heater never worked, doesnt get cool enough for tx summers, horrendous gas mileage, climate control panel gets extremely hot when controls used, screeches when it starts, rattles when idling, major power loss in fifth gear! You cant jump on an interstate in this heap! Warranty you say? No Im just a stupid woman & need to get my foot out of it to shift it. But Ive met several owners with the same issue! Other other warranty work can be done, if I let them dump me out of the service van & left overnight with no transportation.
