Used 2006 Saturn ION Sedan Consumer Reviews
pretty impressive
I brought my 2006 ION in October 2005 and I have had seemingly minor problems. The gas cap situation! I've had to have that looked at three times because the admissions light continually stays on, which is still not working. My key did get stuck in the ignition twice, but I turned the wheel while turning the key and it worked (my brother taught me that!). Other then that, after three and a half years of owning my car, I just had my brakes changed and I have about 60,000 miles on it! With the exception of the dealership not being about to correct the ignition light staying on, I am pleased with the performance of my car. Sorry, but I would buy another Saturn if GM were not losing 21,000 jobs
1st Saturn-Last GM vehicle
Problems so far: Key often gets stuck in ignition, check engine comes on for no reason, front transmission mount broke, cap on canister type oil filter leaks, suspension is clunky and soft. Slow to get up to speed, cheap interior materials, weather stripping around windshield comes loose, power steering feels weird. Gets good gas mileage & A/C is cold. This is the American version of the Yugo, a real piece of crap! Current mileage is 63,000, I doubt if it makes it to 100,000. My other cars are all old Fords. Now I know why.
Nice Car
Handles good, good performance, love the 2.4 litre engine and the performance package, onstar,etc. the list goes on. I have had my ION 3 for a month and have no compalints. I don't understand why the car critics aren't more fovorible towards the Saturn.
Stylish and Economical
After being an avid Honda Accord owner for the last 10 years, I was looking for a change and similar quality vehicle for a lower price. After researching every possible vehicle, I fell in love with the look and the amenties of the Saturn. It has everything I want (Sunroof, automatic, nice stereo, good looks, plus even more than I expected--OnStar and XM radio with an MP3 at a great affordable price. The purchase of the vehicle was nonstressful and they accomodated the sale to my finances. I'm looking forward to many wonderful years with my Saturn and hope you give this car the chance it deserves. I never thought I'd buy anything except Japanese, but am not regretting it.
C'mon GM
No wonder saturn has been cut from GM, my saturn needs more work than it is worth. My ignition was unable to be turned off for the second time today as well as problems with the transmission. It was but a year and a half ago I had my ignition fixed to where it would actually turn off. My steering column had to be replaced in February because the power steering went out.
