This is by far the best car I have owned to date. This was the first car I bought right after I turned 18. It had 25,000 miles on it so I got to keep the warranty for a little bit :-) The Ion and I went ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY! and I not once EVER had a problem with it. Just kept up basic maintenance on her. Loved the placement of the gauges. Smooth as butter and the exterior wouldn't dent a bit. I recommend this car despite the surprisingly bad reviews. Maybe I just got lucky?

Very impressive vehicle. Excellent value for money, options ordered include ABS, traction control, side air bags, keyless entry. Great handling, very acceptable fit and finish. MPG as advertised, huge trunk, comfy front seats. Color combo of Berry with grey interior draws favorable responses. Painless buying & financing process. Super dealership. I keep vehicles for a long time (this replaces a 13 year-old Taurus), so plastic panels were important--potential depreciation was not. This vehicle is a significantly more refined car than when it was originally introduced, so don't get scared off by potential bad publicity about the make. Drive one and compare. You may well be surprised.

My Saturn ION 2006 was bought for me, so I didn't have a say. Although it is only my first car, I love it! It is fun to drive, has a great stereo system with tons of presets, and is a gorgeous color (laser blue) which was taken out of the lineup after my saturn was purchased. After reading other reviews, I have had no problems with my Saturn's engine. That being said, my two complaints are regarding the fuel efficiency and the dent resistant plastic body. I do not get the 30 mpg that were promised, and after backing into a parked car, the other car looked untouched while the back bumper of mine was not only dented, it was literally cracked. Overall, this is a great, cheap car for anyone.
Good Stuff very few problems

It's very reliable I feel really safe in my car even though it's got plastic side panels. I don't know about the autos trans. but the manual is a blast! very comfortable gets advertised MPG even at almost 100,000 miles! Saturn has done good with the ion! Handles great! It's quiet inside the car. Very few problems Excellent buy!
Great until something goes wrong

I have only had my ION for 3 months. Needless to say when I was on the highway a deer decided that it liked my car better than me. So he took out the front end of it. looking at $6000.00 in damages. But my problem is that when it hit me my seat belts completly locked up and refuse to come loose at all. If it was anywhere near my neck it would have killed me. Now after most of the repairs have been done the body shop has had to order now 3 times seat belts and all of them have been defective. Needless to say all the other parts had to been ordered twice because they had cracks. This is not giving me a good opinion on Saturn at all.
