I have had this car less than a year and it has been in for repairs nearly a dozen times. In fact, it is in the repair shop right now waiting for a new fan motor to be shipped in and replaced. We just got it out 8 days ago for a faulty pass code sensor (I couln't start my car). THIS CAR IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!
Worst Model Yet

Ive had my saturn ion for a little over a year. Its been in the shop 7 times now, the 7th tommorow. Its had a leaky motor, a broken cd player, a recall, the transmission slips and the RPM's race and the car jerks forwards, the brakes are terrible as they are going in tommorow because the car makes a creeking sound when stopping and maneuvering. I wouldnt recommend this car to anyone who wants reliability and comfort unless you like roadtrips cause you will be taking many of those back to the dealership to get repairs! The car has a lot of problems with noises and they are very annoying. Id get a Civic or Toyota! Too bad im suck in the lease!
Not really pleased...

In the past year I've taken my car into the dealership to have 6 different (major) things repaired. The ignition was replaced, the passenger side lower control arm had to be replaced, the turn signal wiring had to be replaced, the computer replaced. There was a fuel line recall, and the door lock collapsed into the door. Someone at the dealership told me to be grateful I didn't have the same problem another customer does, apparently her car just shuts down randomly as she is driving along and they can't figure out why. I don't have the trust in my Saturn that I had in the cars I've had by other manufaturers.

At 2000 miles engine light came on. Took to dealer twice, second visit it was kept for three days. Turned out to be a screw had gone through wire in harness and had to be removed. No problems since.
A good car

My dad bought the car new in 2004. And the two of us have put over 70,000 miles on it sense with very few problems. The greatest one being the starter, a factory problem, that we have had changed out twice (its a $30 part, with labor being at least 3 times the cost of the part). Other than that simply doing the basics, oil change, alignments etc. One notable experience was when i drove through 1 mile of flooded road over a foot of water and i made it through, no stalling or problems after exiting the water.
