If anyone owns a Saturn Ion please let me know if they are any good. I am thinking of buying an 04 Saturn Ion however I'm not sure if its a 1,2,3. Anyone who has had any experience with them please let me know your review of them.

Thanks.

My friend owns one. Haven't heard any complaints from him.

Powertrain-wise, it's a Cobalt. Very good stuff.

I test drove one, and that's all my experience. You'll have to get used to the gauges being in the center instead of behind the wheel, that's the only "bad" thing about it I can say.

My Ex Mother in law has an 05 and she loves it. My son had one also, and he traded it for a Camaro back in '06 but as far as I know he never had any problems with his...
i have owned several Saturns (no Ions though) and all have been good reliable cars.

There was an optional CV transmission available in 04. Avoid the car if that is the transmission. I drove one and they aren't bad, but they were in production for only a short while. I'd stick with the Auto or manual transmission.

Here is some good information that may help.
