Great little car

I needed a reliable car and that is what I got. Once I got used to the instrument panel being in the middle, I haven't had any problems. I am enjoying my vehicle and looking forward to years of use.

This is my first compact car in a long time. However, I love the way this car handles, look and perform. Although I have the 2.2 L engine and an automatic, it moves. The steering is amazing: one of the smallest turn radious I have experienced. Everything works in the car. I love the travel package. The car has features of a bigger car, but packaged perfect for its size. Right now, I will not hesitate to buy another ION (or Saturn). I love the rust proof plastic panels.

Handles good, good performance, love the 2.4 litre engine and the performance package, onstar,etc. the list goes on. I have had my ION 3 for a month and have no compalints. I don't understand why the car critics aren't more fovorible towards the Saturn.

Disappointed soon after purchase

I purchased this vehicle to remain a domestic car driver and enjoyed the hassle-free purchase at a decent cost. Since then, I've continually been disappointed by a brand that used to be so strong. Most recent issues that has caused me to post this review is the failure and consequent $1000 cost to repair my power steering. I have learned that hundreds of 2006 Saturn Ion owners have had the same issue and hope any who read this will lodge complaint in order to encourage official recall (and reimbursement for cost of your repair).

hello, i owned a 2006 cobalt prior to this car and i had 65,000 miles on it. i had some of the same problems as other saturn owners had. i do however i enjoy the saturn more than the cobalt. it seems to be a better built car and drive better, the sound system is much better it has a dome light big improvment.I hope the power steering dont go out like on the cobalt that is a expensive fix,the center dash is a very nice design.the performace is better that is a nice upgrade. this car has a r title to it only paid 6000.00 for it in very good cond,will give more updates as i drive it more.
