Used 2004 Saturn ION Consumer Reviews
My new 2003 Ion
This is my 2nd Saturn from this dealer. I also have a 1998 Saturn SL2 and the 2003 is a big improvment.I like the center console.I'm short and I now sit higher in the car.I get around 30 mpg. It's a good reliable car my old 1998 Saturn has 139,000 on it and still runs great.The people at the dealership are great and the service is great also.I'll buy my next car at this dealer.
Cute, spunky, inexpensive
As an older person, I've had many different types of cars. Before buying, I test drove different minivans, full size vehicles, 2 door cars, 4door cars, midsize, full size, trucks, etc. I found the ION to have spunk. It feels like it wants to get up and go. Handles well, with very good mileage. It gets 36mpg on the highway. The leather seats are a bit stiff, but that's better for my back problem. Even my husband loves to drive it. Any time you can get him to give up his new 3/4 ton black Avalanche with the biggest motor and Suburban-like ride to drive an electric lime ION, you have to have a fun, cool car. Front opening rear doors make getting in and out of the back seat and getting stuff out so much easier
Junk don't buy it
ION2, Bought it new in 2004 for $20K thinking that I made a good budget decision but I had electrical problems since then. Burnt light bulbs, non functioning turn signals, non functioning fob. Took it to the dealer at least 6 times for electrical problems, 2 for Suspension problems, and once for rain water sneaks into the trunk. I discovered that because I needed to jump start it. You can pull the key out when it is on the acce. position without noticing and that will cause the battery to run dry.Interior is so cheap and is falling apart. Everything rattles, CD player gets stuck. Verdict Junk Junk Junk.
LEMON not by their call
After i had my car for two weeks the vehicle would turn off by itself while i was driving. This had happned *six* times including once on the highway. The car was sent back to the dealership twice, where it was there for three weeks. They put EIGHT HUNDRED miles on my new car and sent the vehicle back with trash and filth. I missed the lemon law by the skin of my teeth. I was accused of lying about my vehicle and treated like dirt. So much for buying a new car and then feeling like you have a death trap! Not only that but the car has also been recalled and has also had to go back for a fuse issue.
Great little Car
I love this vehicle it rides and looks great
