I can feel every bump in the road, CD player skips while driving/ The seats stains very very easily/ bad on gas mileage, occasionally seems to have tranny issues/ plastic panels fall's off very easily. Material on interior is not the best quality. Horn is very hard to use, seats are not comfortable
Hate it! Never again, Saturn!

My 03 Ion2 is the 7th Saturn I have owned and will never purchase another because of it. I had the tires and brake rotors replaced at less than 25K miles, and again now, at 56K miles. I had the running lamps fixed (recall) more than once. There is a thumping noise when I turn left at slow speeds, the road noise is loud, shifting hesitates at 3rd-4th (w/ auto trans) and it sucks down oil. 18 months ago the radio stopped working; Saturn said it was defective and for $300 they'd replace it. I took it back, thinking it was a short because when you hit a bump it came back on/off, they said it wasn't and won't fix it, and rolled their eyes at me! I'm trading it in ASAP!
No wonder GM dumped Saturn

From the start it was good, but man with in a few months took a dump! Starts sometimes and others times nothing, but we have had it check and no mechanic can find anything. Coolant light on, can't get it off no one knows why no leaks, holds pressure. Blinkers keep burning out and blinker burning out recall has been done by dealer. Please don't buy one these cars!
So many better vehicles for the money

Chose an ION because I was trading in an SL2 and wanted the best value. Unfortunately, this car disappointed at every turn. Poor performance, with a loud engine, horrible road noise and terrible mileage (currently at about 26 hwy with driver only). Interior layout looked innovative but in all practicality it just doesn't work. Driver's seat is the most uncomfortable I've ever experienced. And the GM passlock issue has reared its ugly head with my model, though no recall has been issued. I made a horrible decision considering the Corolla, Civic, or Sentra were all much better vehicles for the same price at the time of purchase. It is a mistake I will not make again.
dissapointed

Got ION3 auto May 1. Has MANY squeaks and rattles that dealer cannot seem to solve. Also 5sp auto often shifts harshly and in a confused manner. Very nice chassis tho, handles very well with 16" tires.
