Used 2005 Saturn ION Consumer Reviews
Mid-life crises on a budget
What a surprise to be able to find $20,000 car with more expensive sports car performance. The acceleration with the supercharger is incredible. You can feel the supercharger kick in and it throws you in the back of the Recaro seat. The handling is excellent, crisp and with minimal swaying. The 45ZR/17 tires are sticky. The styling is sporty, but not too flashy. The back seats are perfect for my two little girls. They call it a roller-coaster ride with daddy. Perfect car for 40 somethings without breaking the bank.
My Saturn 2005
This vehicle is nice and easy to drive good on gas and smooth ride not to big and not to small just right
Great car
It is a joy to drive. i love the power and handling. The Recaro seats are a great touch. The ABS 4 wheel disk brakes stop like no other car I've ever driven. An awesome car.
2000 mile review
The Saturn has been a pleasant purchase. The car delivers its rated 34 mpg. I have checked the mileage with both high and low octane gas. No difference, so use the low octance. The manual shift is smooth, and the clutch is responsive. It keeps up with highway traffic at 70 mph. I do not find that the ride is rough or noisy. The car corners well. The instrument panel is easy to get used to. In fact, I like it better than the standard location. The interior is a little on the cheap side. The switches are easy to operate and read. It seats 4 comfortably on short trips. The trunk is spacious. For a low cost new driver or "drive to work" car, it has been worth the cost.
The car
This car is the best thing out there right now, and im not just talking about in its price range. If you're into comfort and design in a car, this car's dual suicide doors make packing friends or cargo a breeze while compartments, switches, gauges and adapters are all placed around the driver where they should be. If you're into performance, this again is the pick of the litter. You can beat Porsches, BMW's, G35's, and every other car claiming to be a performance machine.
