2007 Saturn Ion - I love my car.

I love this car because it can be depended on. It is attractive and I am proud to own it. I love the maroon paint color. The cloth seats are soft and a beautiful soft grey color. My stereo sounds great within the acoustics of this car. I get better gas mileage than I did in Toyota Celica or Nissan Sentra. I have no problem climbing hills because it has plenty of horsepower for me. I enjoy traveling in both urban and rural areas. Everything Is easy for me to understand, it's simplicity is great. If I had the choice I would buy it again. It may not be a fancy car, but it is what I need to get around. All of my friends love my car and wish they had one just like it. I have never regretted buying this car which is more than I can say about previous cars. Knowing I won't break down in this ... (more)

Story

I managed to lock myself out of the car, despite the warning when you leave the key in the ignition (I left mine on the seat). When road service attempted to use a slim jim and other measures it was very hard to get in. He told me this car was the hardest he ever had to get into and it would be very hard to steal.

Pros

I love the body on this because it is cute and sporty, not to big and not to small. The seat covers are so soft to sit on, they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, they are also easy to clean. It is easy to work on; mechanics have told me this car is much easier to fix than similar models. Great gas mileage about 41 mpg.

Cons

I have had only one mechanical problem which is common in this car-the key would not turn the ignition. I was told several ways to fix it- new ignition, new steering column- going to the dealer for repairs where it would need to be re keyed. Finally I found the easiest band least expensive solution, I called a locksmith and he made a new key from the trunk, and no problems since. A little more leg room would be great for people that are above 6 feet tall.

2004 Saturn Ion - The car that gets you from A to B

This car is primarily from getting you from A to B. This is moderately comfortable... for those sitting in the front of the car. The car is compact and leaves little to no space in the back for additional passengers. The battery is located in the back of the car which is beneficial, as it is the only car I know of that has the battery in that location, so it's easy for others to jump you. The car was a four cylinder, so it was slow of course. The least satisfying aspect was the mileage. Over time the car became less and less efficient, only averaging around 15-20 mpg now at over 150,000 miles.

Pros

The most positive aspect was that it is comfortable for single drivers and that it gets you from point A to point B. There were very little positive qualities about this car.

Cons

The worst part about this car was maintenance. The car was relatively healthy for the first 75,000 miles with the typical tune ups and maintenance. However, after that I began experiencing many mechanical issues. First, it was the alternator that had to be completely replaced as it locked the key into the ignition even after turning the car off. Then every window mechanism to raise and lower the window broke in the car. All the plastic pieces just snapped and needed to be replaced. Now at around 150,000 miles, the starter needed replacing. One of the other things that irked me was the posi... (more)
