I went from a 95' Ford Taurus to the 06' saturn ION 3 coupe. There's such a big difference, a good difference though. Only thing I don't like about my new car is the seats. They're uncomfortable. Other than that I love it.
Love my second Saturn

This is my second Saturn. I loved my 1996 Saturn SL2, wich I owned for 10 years, but my new 2006 Ion is a dramatic improvement. If you are looking for an economy car that has the room of a mid size and the smooth ride of a full size luxury car then this is the car for you. The competition may have more gadgets but this car is bigger with a nice smooth ride, as well as great pick up and decent gas mileage. Yes.. GM can make a decent car.
Distraught with Ion II mpg

Originally, my review of this car was very bad, because it had to be towed back to the dealer <10 days after purchase. However, since then it has proved itself as a dependable vehicle. The only issue I still have with it is the mpg. This is a manual transmission, and was claimed to get 34 hwy, and I forget the city, was it 27 mpg or 24 mpg? I'm getting about 28 mpg highway. I could enjoy the car if it got anywhere close to the claimed mpg. I'm probably getting somewhere close to 20 mpg city, but I can't be anywhere near certain because it is never the case that I do all city driving. The 1984 Honda CRX with the fuel efficient 1.3 liter engine got 55 mpg hwy, 45 mpg city.
Why is my car knocking?

I owned an SL2, and it went almost 150,000 miles until I traded it in for my current car, a 2006 I0N 3. The quality of the ION 3 is much poorer than with the SL. It's obvious that Saturn cut corners with the ION, which may account for its short run. Like others, I've noticed that the interior seems cheaply made, and the material does easily stain. The biggest problem is that the car keeps surging when I'm idling at a stop sign or a red light. I've taken it to the dealer multiple times, and they can't find anything. I was originally very proud to own a Saturn since the company took a lot of pride in its products, but the company obviously doesn't care about quality like it once did.
Nice car

I had a 2006 Ion quad coupe, and absolutley loved it. I would buy the car again, and the only reason I don't have it now is because I flipped the vehicle into a ditch and totaled it. I like the dent resistant doors, and the funny part was none of my doors were damaged in the accident where it landed on its right side. I think it's a great little car, people need to give GM more credit. It was a heck of a lot better than the Toyota I was driving before it.
