Used 2006 Saturn ION Consumer Reviews
Love My Car
This car has been such a joy to drive. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great car for the value.
Saturn ION2
With only 35,000 miles i already had to replace a gas cap and vent and valve because it did not pass emmissions. I cannot believe that I am already putting money into this car. I will make sure not to buy another Saturn again.

The first year I owned the car was great but, since have had numerous problems from car ignition not turning off to driver's side car door not opening as well as driver's window not working. I'm not impressed with the inside cloth interior either. It stains easily. The outside sound is loud when driving. I am however happy with the mileage I get which is one good thing I have enjoyed. This was the first new car I purchased. I'm still paying new car payments as well as repairs since the warranty has expired. This has surely left a bad taste in my mouth. I have not recommended this brand to anyone I know.
Complications
Good car at first, then some problems started to arise. Check engine light sporadically comes on and off. Window went off track. Leaking from sunroof into the interior light fixture, but that stopped after a week or two on its own. On one occasion (about five months after purchase) the car didn't start up.
Best Commuter I've Owned
I bought this car after considering several cars. It came down to the Civic or the ION. I liked the ION's ride better and the price was significantly lower than the Civic. I drive over 90miles/day to work so comfort and efficiency are important and I regularly get 40mpg in this car. I rarely drive in town but when I do it drops to about 30mpg. Ride is nice, steering precise and predictable. Driving is seamless and comfortable even though I am quite large and this is a small car. No problems to report in the first 12,000 miles.
