I bouught the car used with 36000 mi on it, and Initally it was fine, then at about 60000 mi it all was like a bad dream, the engine light, no one knows what to do about this, the computer has been reset 4 times, when it comes on the car wont accelerate, it jerks like tranny is going out, I finally parked it for a while and my Daughter needed a car to drive and that lasted about a week and then the same thing started happening again, really think GM needs to step up, In the shop again 900 to reset the computer, replace throttle Body , and 2 rotors.... Geeze this wears me out just reliving it. This Car is Garbage period, STAY AWAY, I need a HUG, No trade value, Owe more than its worth, HELP!!

My original choice was not the Saturn but after an intensive month of shopping and visiting the dealers I was disgusted with other dealers sales tactics, and decided to give the Ion a look. The Ion 3 with the 170hp, 2.4L engine in my opinion compares to the Mazda6. There are no dealer games and they got me awesome GMAC financing. This is the first time I feel like I got an absolute steal on a car purchase. The only thing that needed getting used to was the console that is in the center of the dashboard. But if you shop Saturn you get a big bang for the buck and no sleazy dealer tricks.
Stylish and Economical

After being an avid Honda Accord owner for the last 10 years, I was looking for a change and similar quality vehicle for a lower price. After researching every possible vehicle, I fell in love with the look and the amenties of the Saturn. It has everything I want (Sunroof, automatic, nice stereo, good looks, plus even more than I expected--OnStar and XM radio with an MP3 at a great affordable price. The purchase of the vehicle was nonstressful and they accomodated the sale to my finances. I'm looking forward to many wonderful years with my Saturn and hope you give this car the chance it deserves. I never thought I'd buy anything except Japanese, but am not regretting it.
Great car

My lease was up on my 2006 Cobalt so I wanted to get something comparable to it. I started looking into the Ions because I liked the way they looked and I'm a big fan of the Ecotec engine, I know engineers that have said this will eventually be known as one of the best engines GM has come out with. I wasn't sure about the gauge cluster being in the center of the dash at first but I grew to love it. It drives really smooth and handles bumps nicely, the gas mileage is great too. I have a Waverunner and it pulls it nicely. Overall I'm very happy with this car.
Still Goin' Great

A follow-up to my 10/07/05 review. Car now with 32K+ miles. Total repairs=$0. Total days out of commission=0. Total warranty work=1 minor brake adjustment. No rattles, minimal tire wear, consistent handling, interior materials holding up well, paint & exterior pieces still bright & shiny. Consistent 30+ mpg on road, low 20s around town. Everything as advertised. Selling dealer (and others used for service) have been tremendous when service and one warrantee item needed. I am as pleased with this car as I have ever been with any vehicle of any brand I have ever owned.
