I was in an accident with mine and there was damage, but the dent resistent stuff really helped. There was not much body damage for a 35-40 mph impact. Both airbags went off, and no engine damage in our case. Great car to drive and now I feel even safer in it, at least from a head-on colission

For the money the Saturn Ion2 is a good buy. I have put 2,500 miles on it since I bought it and have had no problems with anything. It is fun to drive, has adequate pickup with the 140 HP engine. Mileage is good at 32 mpg for an automatic. The front grill is really a big improvement for the 2005. I think it looks great in the gold color with tan interior. GM has a winner for the price you pay.

Leased for $110 per month from GM and its a vary nice car. Fun to drive with plenty of power. Basic no power windows but has air and automatic.

I bought my ion almost three years ago with 22k miles on it. I've driven it every single day since then and have not had one single problem with it. the only time a mechanic touched it was to change the oil. its my first saturn and i have no reason to not buy another, my only complaint is that the suspension feels like its getting kinda mushy. Likes it's not as tight as it was when i bought it.

After driving full-size pickups my whole life I was a bit worried about the safety of a car. The ION is one of the safest cars on the road today and it fits so well into my life! I work for my home and car and on my last trip I got as good as 36 mpg - way better than any truck! It's also fun to drive and handles great. We are getting ready to start a family and this is the perfect size vehicle for that young, cool mom!
