I never thought about a Saturn, but I was strapped and needed a car. I LOVE the car. It a little bigger than what I'm used to (Honda Civic) but I really love it. Handles great, fun to drive, and I feel very safe in it.
Love my new Ion!

I love driving my ION Quad Coupe. I had a Saturn S-series sedan for 5 years, which was also a great car. The ION is fun, but still practical. The rear flip-out doors allow passengers to get in easily, but from the outside the car maintains its sporty look. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a car that is safe and reliable, but still fun to drive.
Plenty of little problems.

Bought car with 30,000 miles. Soon realized that it had a temperature sensitive drive ability problem, bucks violently at low speeds cool temps. Caused premature wear on clutch with first owner, I have babied it for 36,000 miles, needs new clutch. Dealer could not figure out problem, says it's the clutch. Said maybe they could figure it out when it got bad enough. It's time to find out, and bet them a clutch that it's the engine. Suspension is very noisy and sloppy when cold, you can feel the engine shifting back and forth on corners when cold, the clutch pedal creaks and feels rough at the release point. Mirror can't be adjusted to match seat position when adjusted to my 5'9" frame.
Love My 2005 Saturn ION 2

Saturn ION 2 sedan is a "tight" driving vehicle. Handles very well at all speeds. I like the placement of the instrument panel, although it did take getting used to looking in the center of the dashboard. Plenty of front passenger leg room, rear passengers suffer lack of leg room. Excellent trunk space.
Best for the money

The front grille is a big improvement over the 2004 ION. It makes the car look expensive. The seats are comfortable. I like the center dash. I have just under 3000 miles on it and I have found nothing that is a problem. It handles like a dream and is very responsive. I like the timing chain over the timing belt and will not have to have it replaced after 60,000 miles like my other car and a $350 bill. The trunk is a plus and the overall style is what caught my eye.
