2003 Saturn ION L2 review from North America
"Great value for the price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car would not start when the temperature was below 30 degrees. Saturn replaced ignition and fixed the problem.
A few rattles from the trunk started to develop around 23,000 miles.
Does not handle well above 60 miles/hour, very shake.
General comments?
I love my ion level 2.
The sunroof is cool and I like having my controls in the center. It is really more comfortable on your eyes and neck.
This is a fun car and has a great turning radius.
The Saturn dealership has been great! Pleasure buying from them!
