No-brag gem for the practical driver
My cars: 80 Audi 5000, 82 Olds Ciera, 89 Bronco, 95 Explorer, 2000 Taurus SE, 2003 BMW 325xi, 2006 Saturn Ion 2. We have Mercedes and Toyota vehicles too. Most reliable: Ion. Cheapest: Ion. Best mileage: Ion. Best in all weather conditions: Ion, Taurus, 325. Best base stereo: Ion. Most practical storage features in a sedan: Ion. Cheapest interior: Ion. Least adjustable everything: Ion. Least curb appeal: Ion. Fastest depreciation: Ion. The Ion is a solid, simple, reliable, comfortable enough, safe, low cost American car if what you mostly need from a car is...a car. A friend has a Maserati. Cool. But worth nine of these? Pfff. Buy this and a Solstice and laugh all the way to the bank.
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.
Worried
I just bought my saturn Ion have been reading the reviews and its making me really nervous I hope that my car does not have all these problems it has 66000 miles on it in really great shape so far so good guess I will let you know how things work out!
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!
Jason's Car
Great car to drive, very gas efficient. It still has pretty good pickup even though it is a sedan.
