I traded in my PT Cruiser for my Saturn Ion 3 with a 5-speed manual. Few cars can rival a PT in design innovation, but this comes close and in some ways it eclipses the PT. I love the center mounted instrument panel. I also like the design of the dash and seats. The shifting is smooth and crisp, and the ride is solid. Road noise is no louder than the PT Cruiser. I love the overall design of the car.
Great for commuting, not as family car

I am getting 28 mpg average. It did not take long at all to get use to having the gage display in the middle of the display. I don't have the 4 dr model, it is more like the red line model with the 2 door coupe with the suicide back doors, but it is not the red line. My kids love the back doors. The back seats are very tight for my 6 and 8 year old. Add back packs in the morning and it is very tight. The trunk is HUGE!! Fold down the back seats and you really have a lot of space. The 4 cyl engine does not like hills. I use the "I" gear, as the manual suggests for hills and twisty roads, and it really drinks the gas. I get about the same mileage as I do with my suburban on the "I".
Of 10 cars in 10 years, this is favorite

This car is fun to drive and handles well. It seems to me that too many people are nit picking with this and other lower priced cars. For the money, this is an excellent car! I plan on building this car into a tuner. That means new rims, body kit, race seats, interior mods, and engine upgrades. This car was made for this and for people who need a good car for little money. I am very happy with my new car purchase and look forward to owning it for a long time.
Decent Car

We looked around at a number of dealerships before going to Saturn. From the moment we walked in the door we were impressed with the Ion. For the price, we found the Ion to be more stylish than the Ford Focus, Kia or Mazda vehicles we looked at.
great car
