Fun to drive, fairly comfortable, and good gas mileage. But! Out of warranty repairs are extreme! You will pay for repairs that should have been recalls. Parts failing from poor design. And lots of them. From the bearings to the steering column to the ignition switch to the transmission to the ECM (doesn't like to start when it's cold outside) to the bushings to leaks in your trunk to faulty wheel speed sensors. My my my it goes on and on. But other than that it's a nice car. Saturn puts out many TSBs but refuses to pay for any of the repairs. Buyer beware! Besides your payment hold back about an extra $100 per month for repairs (if your lucky that is).
Great Car!

When I drove off in my new Saturn, I was very impressed with the handling. Pulling into certain parking areas, the Saturn make manuvers very easy. Very reliable. It took a week or so to get used to the instrument panel, being in the center of the dash, but once you get used to it, its actually a great feature. Very quiet running. It is just an overall great vehicle at a great price.
Best you can get

I have had a VW Jetta, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla and now the Saturn ION. Help my mother-in-law buy two cars. And speaking from service at the dealership, it has been the easiest car I have ever bought. Saturn dealership does not try to sell you something you do not want, nor did I have to hassle over the price. Car saleperson works on a salary, not volume or commission. Only took an hour and I was out the door - great service. And the car, it is a gem. The car has OnStar, drives well - completely quit. And the power is more than my Nissan Sentra SE-R. I am thinking of trading my wifes car in for another Saturn Ion. She cannot wait.

Over 6 months and 8700 miles have passed since I bought my car. You actually get the MPG on the sticker Its get more fun with every mile driven. If you don't test drive one you will be sorry. I've owned 5 hondas over the last 20 years. I believe the Ion is one of the best cars I've owned period. I bought it because of onstar being standard. Having a disabilty that requires the use of a wheelchair cane or ECV its gives me the extra level of security that's priceless. All of those items fix easly in its over sized trunk. Overall I am more then pleased. a 9.5 on a scale of 10.
Good Value

We purchased our ION 3 seven months ago. With the leather & top tier features we still paid less than $18k. My husband uses it for work, putting more than 100 mi/day on it, and it has yet to give us any problems. In my husband's line of work, he's been in 2 accidents not his fault already being on the road so much. One was a side- swipe that didn't damage anything, another was a rear-ending that was inexpensive to fix the back bumper. We've also taken it on several trips from San Antonio to El Paso (550 miles) and it does fantastic. The gas mileage is great. With the old trade-in and down payment, we're paying less than $300 a month. The car is stylish, drives like a 6 cylinder,
