good car for reliability, does good in the snow. The suspension is kinda squeaky, great deal for the price. The interior design is horrible you will defiantly be squeezed if there are more than two people in the car. There is no room to put anything, and there are only two cup holders.Over all i am happy with the car when i or one other person is in it. Defiantly Not a family car.Oh the fabric on the inside stains when you get water on it, the seats look terrible.
Dependable car

I purchased this car used from another owner. It’s been a reliable car. Not bad on gas. Very cold A/C, colder than any other car I’ve owned. It’s only needed oil change and tune up and has ran great. Headlights aren’t as strong so I have to keep high beams on for night driving. CD has stuck before but other than that great car! Oh and I have had some recall notifications sent however I was able to take to dealer to repair at no cost to me.
Love my ION

I am shocked that I do not see the Saturn ION on more "best lists". It is wonderful to drive, inexpensive, reliable, and my quad coupe ALWAYS receives comments on the streets for its design and looks.
a kit car in disguise

Despite the courtesy of Saturns' sale staff and large rebates, the ION 3 sedan has proved the worst car I've ever owned. Full of rattles and squeaks, poor fitting trim, a jerky transmission, and harsh ride over small bumps, the final insult are service departments that, while polite, damage the car while fixing it (wrecking trim or leaving grease and oil behind) or leave parts off. My last two Toyotas together had a third of the problems this car has. Bob Lutz, stop talking about sport cars and get GM build quality past Yugo class!
No complaints here!

I've had this car for just over 2 years and have loved every minute of it. Keep in mind that the car is not dent-PROOF, only dent-RESISTANT, so don't go kicking it or anything, but to this day I don't have a single ding on my car. (The top of the car is not dent-resistant, but that very seldomly poses a problem.) Equally happy with all other features of the vehicle. Great ride, comfortable, decent gas mileage.
