2005 Saturn Ion - Great Car, Good Gas Mileage

I love the easy maintenance, the great gas mileage. Car has performed very well without needing much maintenance inside or out.

Story

I love the spring time when I can finally open the sunroof after the long harsh Minnesota winters!

Pros

The interior of the car has held up well over the years of transporting 1-2 small dogs. The car seat material hasn't ripped or torn. There have been no issues with the heating/cooling system or the a/v equipment. The overall size of the car is small which fits my preference, however the back seats fold down to give ample trunk room which has helped support multiple moves over the past 8 years that I've owned this vehicle. The color of the car has held up very nice and hasn't rusted in the harsh Minnesota winters. Love the sunroof!

Cons

The cons of this car are there was a nationwide recall, and they key gets stuck in the ignition after shutting the car down more than half the time.

2005 Saturn Ion - Wonderful Car

I have had by Saturn Ion for 11 years now. Of course I have had normal repairs to make, but overall the car has been wonderful. The interior is spacious for a small car, and I love the "suicide" half back doors that children can't open from the inside and window doesn't roll down. Seats are comfortable with good leg room. I love the space overall. I am able to fold seats down and get a 10 foot ladder in the car with no problem. The front seat folding down and the truck opening into the back seat are great for hauling. The car is small so easy to get into small spaces and the gas mileage has been great. I can fill up about every 2 weeks with just normal work week travel.

Story

The day I went to look for a new car I walked on to the Saturn lot a little nervous. It was the first car I had bought alone and though I had heard plenty about Saturn not hassling customers and such you just don't know. I walked to an Ion (the one I ended up with) and a salesman came over. He was telling me about the cars features and such. All of a sudden he walks over to the side of the car... (more)

Pros

Kids can't roll down window or open back doors from inside. Truck opens up into car by folding down back seats. Sound system has been great. Sides of the car don't dent. If you are in a shopping center parking lot with carts and it hits the car, it doesn't dent.
