I first saw this car on a bill board in St. Louis. I was trying to decide what kind of car I should buy and then here is this pretty, sporty car on a bill board saying, Here is your new car ION,- ------------------ by Saturn. My name is IONE and at first glance I thought that is what the sign said. I did not run right out and buy the car, I waited a few months. I love it, it is so much fun to drive, but it is small, but then I am single!

Sneaky Speed

People who dont know, dont realize what it is until they are way back in the rearview mirror. The Ion redline is a mighty might that has what I like to refer to as sneaky speed. It is somewhat unassuming if you dont know what is under the hood, but then when the skinny pedal on the right hits the floor, people try to catch up just to find out what it is that hit them.

Got the Blue one. My first Saturn and I've had it 6 months. I was in love after the test drive and purchased instead of the ION 3. By far the best seats(recaro) of anything I test drove. With a rebate and some other incentives, blows away others for under $20k. Sticks like glue on corners at 80+, stops quick, handles great. Mileage in the low 20's. Lots of cargo room and easy to load with the side doors. FUN, FUN, FUN.

I skewed the demographics for Saturn when I bought the Red Line I'm 40 something the mother of two teenage children, who think mom is unsquare now love car easy entry doors are not heavy hugging seats lots of highway entrance power very fun to drive like my old VW but not as close to nirvana as the Bug experience those who have driven a Bug know what i mean Fuel have to mix prem/reg to beat prem price avg 24MPG combo driving only 700 miles MPG will improve later excellent XM radio,new technology-wow beware FM, comfortable with center dash, easy to clean exterior, seats are hard after long rides(over 4hrs)have to hide keys from husband, Thanks GM

I have had 3 saturns now. I like the sc2 3 door design much better than the new saturn coupe. it is not as sporty. i am happy with the extra room though. go figure. over all, i am a saturn buyer for life.
