I used Edmunds ratings when I started my new car search, and was surprised at how harshly they treated Saturn. My experience with them has been excellent, and so I gave the Ion a try. After driving the higher rated cars in this class, I came home to Saturn. The Ecotech engine is not new; they've been using it since 2000 and it's *very* good. The safety features just got a 5 star rating, and I love the styling, inside and out. No, it's not a BMW, but for its class, it's a terrific value and the standard features are impressive. Take the 24 hour test drive and check out the various Saturn newgroups.

Center console is awkward. Have to take eyes off the road to check speed or read displays. All arrows are in BRIGHT RED making my heart rate jump every time I look at it. Back end of car is too high for good visibility. I don't feel SAFE. Mileage is poor, as low as 8 (eight!) miles per gallon, highest has been 24 mpg. Trunk opening is too small, even though the trunk itself is roomy, can't get anything bigger than a small box inside it. Tires are hard to change. Front end is so long and car is so low it drags every time I hit a speed bump or dip. Can't see front and back of vehicle from inside, so hard to figure out where I am in relation to outside objects. I HATE this car!
Start but won't stay running
