These cars are poorly built and are a costly mistake to own. If you value your money and what something that will hold up, buy a toyota. Don't learn the hard way like I did.

An Abysmal Car Nothing But Problems

At 530 miles, my right window malfunctioned, at 580 miles, a sound started coming from the dashboard. The locks would suddenly open and then lock, all by themselves. At 1305 miles, more rattles from the rear left window and door panel. As soon as the lease is over, this car is fired.

Death Trap

This car is a DEATH TRAP! It locks up when driving. Can not shift in and out of gears, especially when driving in rush hour traffic. Has been taken in a total of 36 times to dealership, and only when the warrenty was expired did they know the problem. The vehicle locked up while my little brother was driving and caused a horrible wreck, which landed him and the other person in the hospital. So long story short if you value your life and personal safety BOYCOT SATURN and their death trap vehicles.

Lemon of a car

I bought this car as my first new car. My used Nissan Sentra, that was 12 years old, was beginning to cost me a great deal of money. Now that I've had this Saturn Ion Coupe of 3.5 years, I should have kept my old Sentra. In 3.5 years, I've been to the service department more than I care to admit. It's frustrating to buy a new car with so many problems: transmission, starter, etc. I can't wait until I can afford to buy a different, better car.
