2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
This car is & always has been a serious junk. Multiple problems: shifter (possibly clutch) problems, floor heater never worked, doesn't 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 can't jump on an interstate in this heap! Warranty you say? No I'm just a stupid woman & need to get my foot out of it to shift it. But I've 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.

Review
I have always drive a GMC Z-71 but living in Atlanta GA and driving 25,000 miles a year had to retire my truck to the driveway and get a car that fits my driving budget. This car has been great! I still love my truck but do not want to spend $1000 a month. The ION is fun to drive and gets about 30mi per gallon, my truck gets 12. If I had to switch this is the car for me. 16,000 miles and no problems with this car.
Favorite Features
Fold down rear seats. I can fit a lot in the trunk with the seats down.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders are too close to the manual shifter.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I purchased a Saturn because I could not afford a Toyota Corolla. However, my driving experience has been great. I drove this car from Alabama to Texas and back. It did not give me any problems. After I purchased my Saturn, one of my friends decided to purchase one. If you are in the market for an affordable and reliable car, I would strongly advise you to consider purchasing this vehicle. The monthly payments are extremely affordable too. If you are looking for luxury, honey you are looking in the wrong place. Remember that the car's main objective is to get you from point A to Point B. That's it!
Favorite Features
Very spacious, OnStar, hands free calling, trunk space.
Suggested Improvements
The seats need to be comfortable especially for people who travel out of town for long distances. Again I wasn't expected any luxury features however I can tell that GM did not invest much time nor money in the interior of the car. But you get what you are willing to spend.

Review
I typically buy foreign cars. In selecting Saturn, I reviewed the fuel efficient and its environmental impact. I wanted to buy an American car again, but I have had problems in the past. Anyway, I bought the ION brand new in 2007. I have been put in a rental car for a total of two weeks over the past year due to problems with my vehicle: I was driving on the highway and my vehicle started decelerating while I had my foot on the gas. It took them three go arounds to fix that. Right now, my passenger window will not roll up. My seatbelt light indicating that something is wrong with it goes on intermittently. Cheap interior. The mileage is good though all around - not impressed!
Favorite Features
The dashbooard configuration.
Suggested Improvements
Make a headrest that is adjustable and comfortable. Better floor mats.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I bought my Saturn used (22000 miles). I've only had it for 4 months, but I am extrememly pleased. Gas mileage is great 26/27 in town, 31/33 highway. I find that the car has plenty of power and I like the ease of parking. The only drawback is the comfort level. I'm not a small guy, 5'11" 250+. I find that there's not a lot of leg room for the driver. Of course I was driving an F150 before.

Cupholders get in the way of the air controls. Console access is awkward, should have been moved forward some.

Review
There is no doubt but that this is the best car I have ever had in terms of quality. I have 19,000 miles on it and have not had a significant repair. All work done on the car has been routine maintenance. My son-in-law has the same car but without the fancy features and his experience is similar to mine.
Favorite Features
Love the automatic headlights and the warning systems. Never thought that I'd like the OnStar feature, but I do.
Suggested Improvements
Would like a little more leg room in front seat.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
My college daughter had driven this car in Grand Rapids for the past year with wonderful fuel economy and through a lot of hard winter days. This was a great buy and it is too bad GM stopped making this fuel efficient and affordable small vehicle. She loves the center display as she is short and can see the road better with nothing block her forward vision. With a manual transmission the highway economy is 35mpg. She claims this is a very quiet car and I would agree as I have a couple of Saturn Vues, 2006 and 2007 and it is by far more quiet then these more expensive Saturns on the highway. With full airbags I feel confident she is in a safe vehicle even thought it is a compact.
Favorite Features
Center display is great for short people. Very quiet vehicle on the highway. Great highway mileage and lots of pep for a small car.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I researched compadible vechicles, and either the price for what I needed and the fit for size and comfort was not met by these other options. This vehicles runs great, handles nicely and even though it is not a stick, the 2.2l engine still gave me 34.6 miles per gallon for highway driving on its first road trip. This is impressive considering it is larger than the Saturn SL2 that I could squeeze as much as 40 miles to the gallon under certain conditions, but was to small for taller passangers. I will keep an eye on it to see what overall performance will be in the future, having owned a Saturn in the past, I believe it will be impressive.
Favorite Features
Quick pickup for freeway entrance and fuel efficiency
Suggested Improvements
Figure out a way to make it more sound proof, maybe expand the gaskets around the doors and/or insulate the panels on the doors.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Coupe (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
It is amazing what you can squeeze into the quad cab, such as a giant air conditioner that would no way go into the trunk. It's pretty, good color choices inside and out, and those flexible panels are nice.
Favorite Features
Ease of accessing the back seat. The no-hands phone, though too expensive for every-day use. At least calling should be free for life-threatening emergencies.
Suggested Improvements
We miss a good antilock braking system. It needs some trim above the door to shed water--when you open it after a rain, water drips into the car. Sometimes it drips in anyway. Better mileage. How about a hybrid? The cupholders block some of the panel buttons. Thin, easily scratched paint.
