Used 2003 Saturn ION Sedan Consumer Reviews
Greatest car, compared to an ACURA
I bought an ACURA RSX and in an unfortunate accident it was totalled. After I went car shopping again and almost bought the RSX. I shopped around everywhere...and on the way home testdrove the ION. Wow, what a ride! It was smooth, quiet, and the horsepower was great. I wasn't able to get the leather interior and souped up sound system with the ACURA, but for under $20K, I bought the ION3 with every option available. What a bargain! Whoever stated the seat was uncomfortable must have been a large, or miserable guy, because I am 5'10, 170, and I have an AMPLE amount of room to move my legs.
Saturn Ion 3
The car has been really fun to drive. The turning radius is great. I have had some small problems with the cruise control, but Saturn was quick to fix. There is a lot of head room and leg room even in the back seat. The trunk is very large and the back seat also folds down to increase space for the trunk. The engine is a bit loud when accelerating, but is quiet when up to speed. The 4cl engine has great acceleration and pep, which I found lacking in other comparable cars.
MY IONU
We loved the ION 3 so much we bought a second ION 1. We have had no problems with these cars and we love the style and handling. The center instrument cluster is a Godsend since we have a lot of deer on the island where we live. We can watch the road and the sides of the road as well as watch our speedometer all at once. We were also treated with so much respect by the people at the dealer's we felt like royalty!
My Third Saturn
I have had 3 Saturns in 8 years. My experience with these cars have been excellent. The milage has been very good and I have never had any kind of problem mechanical or otherwise with them. My experience buying them has been a pleasure no hassle of any kind no pressure salesmanship. I love my new ION 3 it is roomy, has all the bells and whistles and my in city gas mileage is 26 miles to the gallon on the road it is 38-39. It is also the only car that can be called American.
When I Look At My Car I Am Happy
For the price and features included with this car, I am very happy. The car is attractive inside & out. I liked the novelty of the centered dashboard, and it did not take long to adjust to. The ride and comfort of the car is satisfactory plus--considering that I did not pay a Cadillac price. Overall performance is good. The Ion 3 included all the features I wanted without going outside my price range. Driving the car this winter, the lower left heating vent did not seem to heat as fast as the rest of the vents in the car. Maybe it's just me or something I need to check.
