Saturn QC 2 with 2.4L engine

I traded a 2005 ION 2 sedan manual for this car - a Quad Coupe 3 manual with 2.4 engine. The revised engine, same as Cobalt, plus leather interior plus XM radio/CD/sunroof makes this Saturn a fun car. Revisons to struts and sway bars make for a nice firm and controlled ride - compared to ION 2. Leather is better than I expected - about as good as my old 2001.5 Passat GLX. Fit and finish quite good. No problems as delivered. Very good low end torque when compared with 2.2L engine. And the "deal" was very good - well below sticker plus $1,250 in rebates. Get one if you can find one

When you make that first initial decision that it's time for a new car, you always wonder what's next. Well from now on, it's always going to be Saturns. I have had so much enjoyment so far with this vehicle. I have had the rest and now have the BEST!! Go and see for yourself. It's one of he best decisions I have ever made. I LOVE SATURN!!

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.

My experience with this car has been great except that it is very hard on gas and seems to be in the shop more than it has been on the road. The engine light is always telling me that there is something wrong with it. The dealers that have worked on it cannot find the problem. The only place you can take this car to is a Saturn dealer in the cities. This cost money! Overall the car is comfortable to ride in. It is smooth riding and turns nice. It is small and convenient with lots of drunk space. It doesn't use up any oil and for a person who has problems with parallel parking, this is the right choice.

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.
