This car is fun and sporty. It handles extremely well in the mountains and on curves. Plenty of power and just a joy to drive. This is my first Saturn and it won't be my last.

ION 3 & ME

I have only had my ION 3 for five days now but have had great fun with it. The ride is wonderful. Handling every turn and corner with ease. The cabin space is comfortable. And the dash is centered with a smaller stiring wheel, I am over 6 foot tall and that is great for not knocking my knees every time I get in. Over all ... I am very satisfied with my new car.

Great Econo Car

The car is responsive in every way! I didn't expect to get cabin filtration, two-tone leather, power windows, programmable door locks, auto headlamps, fog lamps, cruise control, speed sensitive wipers, low noise level, low profile tires, premium wheels, spoiler, a large trunk and an auto dimming mirror w/ compass in any vehicle priced under $19,000. The center mounted instrument cluster makes you feel like you're in a European racer. I've owned my Ion3 for only a month and have driven it over 1600 miles. No matter how I drive, mpg seems to fall between 29.5 and 32.5. I'm anxious to see what it will do on a straight highway trip.

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.

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.
