Best car I have ever owned when it comes down to cost of ownership and reliability. Wish I could afford to have 2 cars. 34mpg plus every amenity from MP3 to ice cold air, cruise and on star, keyless entry and much more
February 12, 2013Nice car and good gas mileage, what more could you ask for!? With it being a manual, it's fun to drive! I am a huge fan of Saturn, I only wish they still made them! I like the way the car handles, and drives.
June 24, 2013love the car. 31 mpg (so far) plenty of room. rides great on the highway. Very Quiet. interior & exterior is laid out great. the features are in just the right spot.Update: 05-23-2015, 227,700 miles. Still running Great. New spark plugs, New struts, A/c Compressor, Wheel hubs. I change the oil, myself, every 2 months, Synthetic blend (Castrol). I am getting 34 miles to the gallon. No leaks, not burning any oil. Great car.

February 27, 2010First car and it has been great. Had no problems with it at all and its been on the road for two years now. Very pleased with the car and would recommend it to anyone looking for both a commuting and fun to drive car.
June 1, 2008Its not as fast as a Mustang. But it has a ton of pep! I drive aggressively and it performs beautifully. Could use a lot less torque steering, but my overall impression is that its a fun car! I always enjoy my commute home.
March 19, 2008Bought it for mileage, keeping it because its fun to drive. Used as a commuter car (45 miles each way). reliable, good in snow or on ice Recently completed a cross-country trip and found it to be amazingly comfortable on a long drive and I packed enough stuff with me to move into my house and live comfortably for the month it will take the rest of my stuff to get here!
March 18, 2008This is a Ion 2.4 5speed manual that is a rocket. Being a light weight car with 170HP and a manual tranny it accelerates with lots of power through all 5 gears. No complaints about build quality fit is good. Handling is well balanced in straight highway driving and on curvy roads.
March 20, 2011Good on gas. Had some power when you needed it. Very comfortable. The suicide doors made it very convient. Nice handling. Went through alot and was always in one piece. Loved it. Good first car. Roomy and efficent. Handling was good
October 24, 2009It doesn't allow itself to be totaled out with over $10,000 worth of damage - but I didn't die or get hurt, so I suppose that's pretty good. And! It's still the current body style, so nobody has to know it's not new.
October 18, 2009I actually really love this car. Out of all the car I've owned, it runs the best, it has the get up and go, it's not really that expensive...just don't stick your hand out the window while you're going 70, you'll swerve.
