EXCELLENT CAR
I love this car, first BRAND NEW CAR I ever owned. Could not be more happy with my choice...Test drove every car in its class and fell in love with this one. Can't believe its not on more "best lists"
Black Beauty
We just traded our 2004 ION 1 in for a 2006 VUE. The ION was a great car and served our family of five well. We got up to 40 mpg on the freeway and were able to fit three car seats in the back and a double stroller in the trunk. Ours was an automatic and had plenty of punch to it when needed. Overall a great car which will be missed.
Great car.
This is my first car and I absolutely love it. It's great for a teenager because it has awesome styling with good gas mileage and a peppy engine. I feel very sporty in mine which may be because it's manual and red but either way the car is still fun to drive. I pride myself over my gas mileage which is nearly identical to my girlfriends '07 civic which is rated for much better mpg.
Great Value
Coming from a line of luxury German Brands, a Saturn was purely and economic move that I honestly resented. I bought it for looks and price, but love it for the way it treats me. In the nearly 75k miles in nearly three years, it has not needed service at all other than normal maintainance and a persistent squeak from the rear seat, despite the heavy footed daily commute I put it through. The dent resistant panels have keep looking virtually brand new despite spending most of its time in a cramped busy garage. There are more comfortable, faster, and maybe better looking cars out there, but not at this price and reliability.
AWESOME
AN awesome car for a young person buying their first car! Its awesome, Very relaiable, yet looks very sporty!
