I love my ion! I have had it for only 9 months now but I have not had one bit of a problem. Always relieable, great on gas, fun to drive, awsome and cool design both interior and exterior, great stereo system, very roomy for a smaller car, (decent leg room in the back seat) ive took it on the highway long distance, I live in the city and it does great there with everyday travel as well. Its a 2006 with 46,000 miles on it, it had 36,000 when I got it. I know most problems don't start until after 50,000 miles so well hafta see. But so far so good!

It took 3 weeks to build my Pacific Blue ION 3-and it was worth the wait. My ION included the Enhanced Performance Package (2.4 liter engine, suspension tweaks, ABS, traction control), leather interior, 6-speaker SAS (Saturn Advanced Sound system) & sunroof. The 170hp engine pulls with power, & the suspension strikes a nice balance between a smooth ride & responsive handling. The comfy front seats slide way back-a 6'3" passenger remarked on how much leg room he had, & easier to get into than Civic/Mazda3. The SAS audio system sounds decent. There are a few rough edges on the dash, & some areas where bolt/screw covers could have been crafted with a better care. Overall, a fine, fun small car.

Problems so far: Key often gets stuck in ignition, check engine comes on for no reason, front transmission mount broke, cap on canister type oil filter leaks, suspension is clunky and soft. Slow to get up to speed, cheap interior materials, weather stripping around windshield comes loose, power steering feels weird. Gets good gas mileage & A/C is cold. This is the American version of the Yugo, a real piece of crap! Current mileage is 63,000, I doubt if it makes it to 100,000. My other cars are all old Fords. Now I know why.

Hard to belive that 3000 miles have come and gone since my first review car car gets 22mpg and I have had no problems. driving it the last 3000 miles has verified that I made the correct choice, attended my first owner clinic yesterday, outstanding. If you buy one of these cars buy a radar detctor you'll need it. If your looking for a small car this should be at the top of your list. If Gm would run all of their business this way they will have a future
C'mon GM

No wonder saturn has been cut from GM, my saturn needs more work than it is worth. My ignition was unable to be turned off for the second time today as well as problems with the transmission. It was but a year and a half ago I had my ignition fixed to where it would actually turn off. My steering column had to be replaced in February because the power steering went out.
