First and Last
These cars are real junk. I just finished replacing the brake rotors that Saturn had turned down supposedly three times. Terrible service. Definitely my one and only GM purchase.
I love my Ion
This is my fist car. I have owned it for about a week now and have driven it about 800 miles. Everything about it is cool. It gets good gas mileage, good acceleration, and a well thought out interior. I have the level 3 coupe .. This is my first car and I am 18 and in love with her. I plan to take very good care of her. As I have her longer I will update this...
Nice car
First time buyer of a Saturn, I'm very impressed with the car since it's a affordable in comparison to it's competition.
No problems
First off, the engine is a joy to drive once it gets broken in (about 3000 miles). Gas mileage is excellent, and amazingly efficient if you can keep your highway driving under 2500 revs (about 60mph). Most of what has been mentioned in other reviews is accurate, except for those calling the car a lemon. I haven't had any problems with the service departments. I'm 6' 4" and fit comportably - can't say that about Mazdas and Toyotas that I've sat in.
WORST CAR I BOUGHT
Everything was fine the first year or so, but one of the first problems I had I was driving my car and the steering wheel wouldn't turn and I was going on a curve. I also heard rattling inside the steering column and was told it was a loose screw, but I still hear the rattling in there. My engine light came on twice in 6 months. And 5 times my car wouldn't start. Was told it was the battery which wasn't the case. Comes to find out that it was the engine switch. And I also had a transmission leak. And customer service were the ones telling me lies, like how the car "should be" fixed at a certain time. I worked hard for this car and its krap.
