Saturn Ion

I have only had my Ion 2 for a month or so, but so far I've had no problems with it. The only thing that I've noticed is that it idle's a little louder than other cars in its class.

I have been selling saturns for almost 7 years now and finally glad to see that we are able to build a car that will compete in the japanese import market and in most cases blow them out of the water....

Fun and Quirky Redline

While helping my parents shop for a new SUV at Saturn, I decided to test the Redline on a whim; I had no plans to purchase the vehicle. After a test drive and a $3750 reduction in price, I decided that this was the car to purchase. The car's quirks are pleasantly surprising. I was not sure I would like the center mounted gauges; however I found them surprisingly easy read and unobtrusive. The quad style coupe is also an interesting feature. The suicide style doors open wide and allow easy entry to the rear seats. While straight-line performance doesn’t match up to the Neon SRT 4, the car acquits itself well among the rest of its competitors in the sport compact car scene.

This is my fourth saturn car, though I cant say its the most exiting car ever the cars I have owned have been very reliable and the dealer experience is secound to none. All these things add up to a very happy and loyal saturn owner.
