Used 2006 Saturn ION Sedan Consumer Reviews
My first new car (2006 Saturn ION 2)
Well, I didn't like the positioning of the gauges on the dash at first, but, now I love it. I really like this car and I think it is a great car. I have only had it about a week but I'm sure I'll love it for a goow long while to come. I recommend test driving one for yourself!
WORST CAR I BOUGHT
Everything was fine the first year or so, but one of the first problems I had I was driving my car and the steering wheel wouldn't turn and I was going on a curve. I also heard rattling inside the steering column and was told it was a loose screw, but I still hear the rattling in there. My engine light came on twice in 6 months. And 5 times my car wouldn't start. Was told it was the battery which wasn't the case. Comes to find out that it was the engine switch. And I also had a transmission leak. And customer service were the ones telling me lies, like how the car "should be" fixed at a certain time. I worked hard for this car and its krap.
My first Saturn
This is my first new car in 15 years and my first new Saturn. I am a gear head. I bought a silver ION 2 sedan with automatic transmission. I had been looking at this car for 3 years. I needed a car that would fit my wheel chair in the back seat without taking it apart. The trunk is large. the fold down seats are nice. Having OnStar as standard was the deciding factor. Loud good sounding sound systems sells cars and the base one in this car sounds as good as the infinity system in my 2000 Dodge.
Fun to drive
It's great on gas, fun to drive,and fast. Looks good. is very safe if you have side air bags. CD standerd, OnStar is cool
Power Steering went out
I got my car in Oct. 2005 and really had no problems and was planning on trading in for a Vue or Outlook with in the next year or so and then Yesterday my Power Steering went out, it was hard to turn and scary driving over a mountain with my two daughters alone. As soon as I turned off engine it was fine again. I went to dealership and it's going to cost $1,000 to replace and to top it off I found out lots of people are having the same problem, this really stinks, I plan on calling customer service tommorrow, really wish there was a recall. :(
