So far so good. Road tripped in the first 2,000 and it was awesome. Mileage was stellar. Tunes were cranked....to tune down interior occupants. I only got one complaint. That stupid right turn signal light goes out every 4.5 weeks and fixes the second the dealer looks at it. Other than that, excellent buy.

I really like this car. I was really suprised to find that a Saturn was this good. The service at the dealership is wonderful, even at a different dealership than the one where it was purchased. I am very satisfied and will only buy Saturns from now on.

This is great car for a great price. I have owned a saturn before and had minimal problems with it. On top of all this the customer service is wonderful, its so nice to be dealt with in a proper manor.

Digging sporty ION sedan

The online reviews are all wrong. This car is fun to drive. Corners great with the 16" wheels & electric steering in the mountains. I live at 10,000 ft. altitude and notice no power loss, even with 2 passengers. The styling inside & out makes it different than the others which is great; who wants to be a clone? I am getting 29 mpg. Can you get a Honda, Nissan or Subaru at this price, with these options at 0-1.9% loan interest? I doubt it. The silver roof rails on the white car with the killer rims gets looks.

Problems with Saturn

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.
