Used 2004 Saturn ION Coupe Consumer Reviews
Some, but not enough
I bought an ION after owning a 92 Saturn SC and being so pleased with it. I was VERY disappointed with the ION. It rattled, parts came off all the time, brakes weren't that good. I definitely got my money's worth out of that warranty. Good for a first car, but after having had high quality, I can't go back to Saturn.
Great example of thinking outside of box
Great car. Great example of thinking outside the box. It is an example of what I used to like about Saturn, not afraid to try something new. How many times have you bought a new car and only months later, find that you have door dings all over it from parking? Solution: Polymer body panels. The center console some people hate but I just love it. So much easier to see the instrumentation without having to look thru the steering wheel. The engine is smooth and refined, but the trans could use a bit of tuning. 2nd to 3rd shift is a bit abrupt when cold. The only service issue I have had in 50,000 miles are loose front stabilizer bushings. Front seats a bit soft. Very reliable so far.
very satisfied in NY
The car is fun to drive and gets excellent gas mileage. Love the polymer door panels no dings from parking lots. We bought the car new in 2004 and have put 80,000 miles on it other than tires and front wheel bearings the only thing we have done is oil changes. We bought the upgrades of Anti lock brakes and traction control. The car is great in central NY winters and has been dependable since the day we bought it.
Awesome car!
I just recently bought a new 2004 Saturn ION 3 Quad Coupe. I've only had this car for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I have a VTI transmission and it is one of the smoothest rides you'll ever take. The car is very roomy and very dependable. I would recommend this car to anyone.
