2004 Saturn ION Reviews
| “Cool Car” Reviewing:
2004 Used Saturn ION 3
the acceleration is very good in my opinion, better than the old saturn we used to have. the brakes are smooth, and they don't jerk at all, and they are quick when pressed. handling is quite easy, steering is very good. not to hard or rough. build quality is ok. it needs some repairs like the rear window doesnt roll down. the battery did die once over the first year, but thats because it was used and it is 4 years old now, so it probably needs a new battery. appearance is what drew me to it. the electrick blue color, the unique shiny wheels, the leather upholstery. 6-disc CD changer (thank god). interior is much more modern than older saturns. love that the speedometer is the middle of the dash. gas mileage is good. only get gas maybe 2-3 times a week. it does need attention in the maintenance. it is very speedy and very smooth, and an all around fun car to drive.
Pros —
unique tires, leather upholsetry, 6-disc cd changer, speedy on city roads, stand-out-of-the-crowd blue color, good gas mileage, decent-sized trunk
Cons —
rear window doesnt roll down, shakes a little after you put it into park, a/c saps acceleration, side-view mirrors don't move elcetroinically, back door has truoble shutting all the way, back seats seemed cramped, no sunroof or spoiler :(

2004 Used Saturn ION 2
It's peppy on the highway, but has major flaws in interior build quality, comfort, handling, and general part selection. It has reliability issues with the transmission, and no way to refill it without going to see either the dealer, or an ACDELCO specialist, because your standard Pep Boys won't know how to touch that thing. It has excessive amounts of body roll, and issues with aerodynamics. A slight gust on the highway will want to propel it into the other lane, and also limits its top speed to 100mph. Seats are exceedingly uncomfortable on long trips. Even an hour and a half drive to my ex-gf's house made me want to pull over and rest my butt. And the styling on the sedan? Positively super-gleeful looking. Not aggressive whatsoever. And don't even get me started on blind-spots.

No cupholders! I had to buy them separate! And, the seats stain REALLY easily.

| “Quick, Handles Well” Reviewing:
2004 Used Saturn ION 3
The interior is comfortable enough, maybe a little snug, especially in the back seat. The 2.2 four cylinder has good acceleration, but doesn't get the same mileage as the 2.0 did. It handles very well for a sedan and is a decent looking car. For a Saturn sedan, the Ion 3SE is a nice little ride.
Pros —
Style, appearance, acceleration, handling
Cons —
Road noise!

2004 Used Saturn ION 1
This was my first car. I'd be lying if I said I missed it. It was about as base as one could get a
Pros —
Pretty much nothing. It started when I turned the key.
Cons —
Dent-resistant body panels made the car feel cheap as dirt. No ABS or side airbags.
Manual everything. 14" wheels. I could go on and on... They don't make them anymore. Take that as a hint. |
