Fun Car to Drive

This is my first brand new car. Also my first 5-spd. I love the power that it has and that it's fun to drive. I feel very comfortable in it. I like all the features it came with: sunroof, cruise control, 6-disc CD changer w/ MP3. The only thing that we had to replace were the speakers...they were horrible! The CD player also seems to have some weird thing where it detects when the music is too loud and automaticaly turns it down. That can be very annoying. Other than that it's a decent car for someone who wants something sporty, yet easier to get in and out of than a normal coupe. Also, had a leak under the door when it would rain that had to be fixed.
EXCELLENT CAR

I bought this car after driving my 1997 SC-1 for 3 years. Definitely against my better judgment because I had to have the engine replaced and major transmission work done. But the Ion QC was a sharp-looking car, and I could explain away the problems I had with my SC-1 (don't know what the previous owner did to it, and the reverse slam tranny problem was a common one). The VTi transmission failed on me not onces, not twice, but three times. We're finally getting Saturn to buy it back. We bought a Toyota Camry! If you're going to buy a 2004 QC, at least get a manual.
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.
