Used 2003 Saturn ION Sedan Consumer Reviews
Great Bang for the Buck!
I choose the Ion 1 with automatic transmission, air conditioning, compact disc player, and anti-lock brakes with traction control. The total retail price was $11,375 after applying $1,000 owner loyalty money, $1,500 Ion incentive, and $750 college graduate money. The whole buying experience is such a relief. If you haven't driven an Ion - do yourself a favor and give it a shot.
I love it!
I've had the car about 3 weeks now and I'm still so happy with it. The driver's seat is VERY comfortable, the only complaint I had initially was the size of the center console meant my right leg butted against it but a seat adjustment slightly back straightened my leg and stopped the discomfort. I like the height of the seat, which is adjustable higher or lower. The old Saturn felt like your butt was dragging the ground but the new seat really puts you up there for a more comfortable view.
A fun Drive
Unique Styling for a compact car. More car for the price.
Check out the trunk space!
Great vehicle for the money. We have 2 small children and we all fit comfortably. The trunk is HUGE and great for groceries and everything that you have to carry. We even fit a little tikes wagon and 3 pieces of luggage in the trunk. Highly recommended.!
Saturn ION3 Sedan 5-speed
Sold my BMW 540i to go back to a Saturn; my first Saturn SL1 ran 170k miles with little non-recurring maintenance. Vehicle is solid, runs quieter than the original SL series. 5 speed transmission much smoother with easier clutch than original SL series. Handling is a little soft, but adequate feel for the road makes it from the tires to the steering wheel. Decent options for sound and safety. Excellent GMAC incentives for current Saturn owners, insurance is low, economy high. Doesn't perform like the 540i, but much easier on the wallet in terms of fuel, maintenance & insurance. It is fun to drive too.
