At the time I got this car - the "college grad" deal made it the most affordable car around. Now all I want to do is get rid of it. It is not a sporty car. It is an economy coupe, and that is it.
Good Car

For the price you can't really go wrong. It's a solid car and very reliable. Gas milage is excellent, especially in high priced Chicago area.

I got my used 2003 Saturn with only 30, 000 miles for $9,500 at a local Saturn dealership back in 2007. The clerks were very friendly. I have to say that there are way more pros than cons for this car. Of course, I do not live in a very cold environment, so I do not have start up issues. Gas mileage with only 12.5 gallons is amazing. This car came with a battery, and for four years I did not replace it. I should have found out how old it was, because I recently got a new one. This sucker is tough! It would still start, and the alternator was in great shape. It is very crash-safety and is very smooth on the road.

Let's make this simple, here's what i like about the car:-Quiet-Tight turning radius-5 speed automatic provides for nice auto. trans. acceleration-nice suspention (smooth ride)-very decent torque-Automatic lighting system turns on headlights and dash lights-16 inch tires w/ alloy wheels standard-awesome travel package:auto dimming rear view mirror w/ compass & outside temp-7 microprocessors and a LAN for electrical system which provides for increased electrical reliability and -A digital readout on the dash that gives worded messages such as:LOW FEUL,TRAC OFF, OIL LIFE,CHANGE OIL (knows when the oil needs to be changed based on RPM's and engine temp)

We purchased a Saturn Ion 3 on New Years eve. The car has been OK to drive with adequate power and a smooth ride. The first day we drove the car home we had electric problems with the dash. First the hands(which are lighted)of the dial started flashing, next the power steering light and air bag lights came on as well as the ABS light. We were first told that the voltage regulator was bad but it ended up being the dash computer. After 3 trips we decided enough was enough and sent it back under Saturn's 30 day satisfaction warranty. I think this car will be a good model but that maybe a while away after more testing.
