My father and I cooperatively own an 07 Ion 2; it currently has 72,000 on it and runs as well as you'd expect it to. My main complaint with it? It's cheaply made, and horribly so. The road noise is unbearable, making you turn up the radio loudly enough to distract you on long highway trips (I travel 3+ hours for trips home & back for college). The interior is lacklustre: the seats are unconforming; the dash is made of cheap, low grade plastic, and the gear selector feels like you're going to break it when you depress the button to pull it out of park. I don't recommend this car for long trips, or in-city driving; short highway trips only. The gas mileage is sub-par for a car this size.

I got this car a little over 5 years ago as my first vehicle and its been great for the most part. There were a couple major issues with it at first that were definitely due to sitting for a long time in a lot before I found it. The fuel pump failed, then a couple years later the muffler rusted in the middle, but other than those that little ion has been my ride or die, even on a 30 hour round trip road trip it held strong. I am here now searching for its replacement as it nears 200k miles. New drivers and/or parents looking for a cheap first car for their kids do not shy away from this Ion! It'll get the job done through college at least!

Drove the car since Feb. 09. Had about 5500 miles when I bought it two years old. Still driving the car pretty intact too. Sun finally messed up the hood paint last year not surprising. Overall it is still in good condtion with about 48,400 miles. Want to keep it but where I live it becomes very hot, it has no AC sadly. One set of tires, power steering recall, etc. No big expenses, CD player works too. Happy overall bought it for seven grand.

I currently own a Saturn Ion 3. unfortunately, i have to part with it due to a recent auto accident. I am very impressed by this car it was built to last. Saturns can take a hit and will still turn start, drive, etc. it is a reliable, cost efficent, and safe.

Speedometer is in the wrong place.

Owerall, it is a great car for the money, feels and rides like a larger car. I love the plastic door panels since I never get any dings. The only major drawback to this car is the awful dashboard design. There is no reason for the speedometer to be so far away in the middle of the dashboard where it is impossible to see. If it wasn't for this one bad design, it would be the perfect small car.
