Great Car

There are many cars for the same price and performance, what makes this one stand up? Well uniqueness will be my definition. Other small sport cars only have 2 doors and there rear seat passengers don't have easy access. others have 4 doors and they look like a sedan but with performance. this car does have four doors but once they are close it looks like one. Best part of all people think Saturn's are family car with fuel economy and slow, well not the Red Line. 0 to 60 6.2 and 1/4 of the mile 14.80 not bad that all.

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.

We loved the look of the Saturn Ion and the price was great. When we went to purchase a car we were not hassled by a salesman. They were very approachable and not pressuring. The sales team did not try to suffocate us or tell us we could not afford a car and take us to the used car section like many other dealerships. The whole experience was a positive one. We went in with a trade- in and walked out with a new car. The car is great it rides and handles well. It's a 4-cylinder car but amazingly it has the power and pick-up of a 6. We love almost everything about this car.

I love this car. It is not only fun to drive, but it is a pratical car. The gas mileage isn't the best, but it is also not the worst. I would definitly buy this car again in the future.

I love the car. The car is fast. The seats are wonderful and the engine is pretty much a work of art. The only thing that I can complain about is the rev limiter stops the fun. Also the tach is about 500-800 revs behind the engine which hurts performance. Other than that I love it.
