2003 Saturn ION Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"The 2003 Saturn ION has received mixed reviews from drivers. Many appreciate its fun driving experience, good gas mileage, and appealing exterior design. However, some drivers are frustrated by the cost of repairs and minor reliability issues. Overall, the ION is seen as an affordable option with a unique style and decent performance."
This car is awesome! not only is it awesome looking, but it performs extremely well. its easy to handle and i like that the brakes arent touchy like most models out there. its only needed minor repairs like fuses that keep blowing and one time the windshield wiper came off track. It's appearance is stellar. i love the coupe doors and the low profile tires. the interior could be a little prettier, though. i'd say it gets maybe a little under par on gas mileage which is one major downfall of this car. But overall, this car is wonderful! i'd recommend it to anyone who wants to have a sweet looking ride that handles well.
June 29, 2008accels well, handles the road awesomely, power pretty much everything, little repairs, reliable, awesome on gas, available in manual! looks good, super fun to drive. headlights arent the brightest, but can be fixed with aftermarket bulbs, parts are fairly easy to find second-hand, but to buy new can get a little costly! overall, i love it, since parts are rarely replaced.

February 22, 2008Great car, love the placement of the speedometer and whatnot. Makes for a smaller steering wheel which is perfect for women. I have had my car for 2 years and have never had a single problem with it. It's a great car, fun to drive. The only negative thing I could possibly say is that the seats can get a little uncomfortable if you are on a long drive. Otherwise, it's a great car!
August 10, 2008I loved this car. It's definitely not as sexy as my new car but it's a solid GM vehicle. It had amazing features. It never broke down or needed more than gas for 2 full years of me driving it.
February 14, 2008This car was purchased from a private seller who took excellent care of it. I have had very little maintenance done to it since purchasing in Feb. 2014. I would absolutely recommend this car to others. I just have to get the knocking noise behind the glove box tended to - I have been advised about this situation by several people.
May 1, 2014Too many little things have gone wrong that cost a lot to fix. Tires are super expensive for a little car.
June 10, 2008Has been a great car for the wife. Fun, safe & reliable. I see why there are so many Saturn ION followers. The maintanance has been easy and affordable, the ride is nice and smooth & the car stops fast and straight.
July 15, 2013Its a fun little car to drive. I love it mostly because its a 5 speed and its good on gas.
December 30, 2007It drives nice. It looks really good. It really is a SHARP looking car! It gets GREAT gas mileage. I can go to work and home for a week on a quarter tank of gas. This car is fun to drive.
