Used 2003 Saturn ION Sedan Consumer Reviews
Test drive of the Saturn Ion
To make a long story short, the ride was nice. The car handled very smoothly with adequate power for it's class, without being too noisy. But the car fails miserably on comfort. The cockpit of this "roomier" Saturn can best be described as claustrophobic. The center console felt like it was digging into my right leg the whole time. It actually felt painful after my 3 minute test drive. I am 6 feet tall, but even the salesperson, who looked to be about 5'8" said he had a problem with it. How could Saturn produce a new model with such an obious shortcoming? Did anyone look at this thing before it was put on the market?
Great Car for the $$$
You certainly can't ask for BMW performance in this price range, but for under $15,000 this car is great! More than adequate power, gas mileage, and comfort. Center console doesn't take much time to get used to. Only complaint is the electronic power steering is a little loose and is hard to keep going straight without constant adjustments.
Saturns are out of this world!
I LOVE IT - 'nuff said

Great car for the money
Saturn Ion 2
I purchased this NEW Ion 2 in late May of 03, it's now late July. During this time my hood release fell off, I had to take it back in to get it fixed. Then I put my key in the passenger door to unlock it and the little metal piece that you put your key in fell into the door, the dealership in Columbia, SC said "That seems to be a similar thing happening to the Ion". Yesterday the little change drawer came off, I managed to fix it myself though. My wife also pointed out that the gas door is getting crooked and needs to be tightened. It is reliable so far though as far as getting yout from A to B.
