2007 Saturn ION 3 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I have to defend this car. Have had mine for 14 months and with the exception of a tiny bit of wind noise (Saturn will fix it) the car is great. No, I am not in any way affiliated with Saturn or GM. In fact, this is the first American car I have owned new since 1979. Folks, it's a $20,000 car, not a $40,000 SUV. When I drive well, I get an avg city/hwy of 33mpg. I use only good gas-Union, Shell, Chevron, etc. I change the oil every 3,000 miles no matter what the OnStar report says. I keep the tires inflated properly and clean the air filter every 6 mo (dusty area) Frankly, I was very happily surprised as I have been very soured on American cars.
Favorite Features
Center dash (love it), huge trunk, great mileage, good power with 2.4L engine.
Suggested Improvements
Cup holder placement stinks! Back seat leg room awful (but its a trade off for the great trunk space)
Why did I buy a Saturn?

Review
I bought this car brand new in Toronto, and drove it from Toronto to California, up the coast to Oregon, and all the way to Phoenix. I have put 39,000km on it in just over a year. In the first 6 months of owning it I had to have the entire electrical system replaced. 2 months later I had to have to accelerator and brake system replaced. The starter had problems after one year, and once it wouldnt start at all for quite a few hours. AAA will not unlock this car if your keys are locked inside. They told me that this models electrical system is too delicate. The fuel economy is below average and far below the EPA estimate. Overall I am sure you can tell that I am very disappointed in this car.

Saturn does have a good warrantee program, which has thankfully covered all of the problems so far.
Suggested Improvements
I think it's time to go back to the drawing board on this one. Too many problems to fix. I paid 24,000.00 Canadian for it, and I am going to sell it as soon as I get back to Toronto.

Review
I bought this car in Dec 2007 for a birthday gift to myself. Ii am 19 and had never owned a new car. Well let's just say if I could go back and get a different car I would! At 3000 miles my car was in the shop 2 times for clunking while doing u turns, which they replaced the tire well and it still continues today, and also a chirping in the tires. They tell me there is nothing wrong with it, also still going on today. I have 8000 miles on my car & I have been to the shop 9 times for the reasons above and now clunking in the back of the car as well as brake clunking. My rotors have been replaced for being warped after 2000 miles. and the tire well, also things have been falling off the car!
Favorite Features
The interior is very nice, as well as the trunk space, and the OnStar.
Suggested Improvements
Should have a car worth paying 17,755 for.

2007 Saturn ION 2 4dr Sedan (2.2L 4cyl 4A)
Review
I have owned this car for about three months now and have been very pleased with this car. I drive arond 100 miles a day and all interstate. I have been averaging between 30 and 33 mpg. The car drives and handles great and has surprising pep for a 4 cylinder. As of now, no problems and still enjoy driving the car.
Favorite Features
Dent resistant body panels, engine is very peppy for a 4 cyl. yet still very fuel efficient.
Suggested Improvements
Standard remote keyless entry, better console between front seats.
They say I just have buyer's remorse

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.
Pleased

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.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage
Suggested Improvements
Cupholders get in the way of the air controls. Console access is awkward, should have been moved forward some.
