I really love my Ion, but have had some issues with it. The key often got stuck in the ignition & could take a few minutes for it to be released. (Found out it was due to the gear shift not recognizing the car was in park, thereby not releasing the key. This took 5 trips to the dealership to diagnose.) It currently periodically jerks while I'm driving & automatically drops down to 15 mph. With the gas floored it won't go any faster. I have to pull over & turn the car off for a couple of minutes, then it starts up fine & I have to go get the check engine light turned off later. (I don't currently know what the cause of this is yet. I'm leery of driving it on the highway, though.)
Common problems shouldn't be "common"

I bought my car about a year and a half ago. It was a leased car and it had 20,000 miles. I now have just over 55,000 miles and I've already had the "common" door sensor problem, which wasn't cheap to fix, where my interior lights wouldn't turn off because my car didn't know that the door was shut and today I had my power steering replaced per warranty coverage. The problems that Saturn has "commonly" shouldn't be common problems. I read online that the power steering problem has cost 14 lives already. And the door sensor is extremely inconvenient. I love my car but I truly hate the "typical" problems that come with it.
This Saturn is to rival over any imports

This is my first Saturn experience. I've bought three new cars in the past and there is nothing like going into a Saturn dealer and being treated like a friend and not a dollar sign.. I bought a Saturn ION 3 Sedan with leather, 2.4 performance package with Saturn Advanced sound system. This advanced sound system package is definitely worth to opt for. The fuel mileage is well over 30mpg. I compared the Honda Civic, Toyota, and Chevy Cobalt.l The Saturn ION has better handling, more power, and good fuel economy to beat any import you put up to it. Especially for price, quality, and dealership experience.
