2006 Saturn ION Ion Base 1 , Manual Tranny review from North America

"Do not buy this car, go see Toyota/Honda for the little price difference it's much worth it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

,WEll the first thing that went wrong with the car is the Whole front end, they had to replace the whole steering linkage after (4trips to dealer arguing and freaking out) paid off. after that sway bar broke off, had to replace the sway bar linkage kits numerous times,When the transmission is in 4th gear going about 2500 RPM there is severe wobble (more than just vibration), now at approx 36000 km, there is tranny fluid and or Engine oil leaking from underneath the car, car is gone to the dealers today 2007/10/23, can't wait to see the outcome of that. Not to mention my emergency brake cable having to be replaced 2x times,

General comments?

This car rides nice for the price, the interior is very shitty quality, the overall quality of the car is very poor, I have always done my regular maintenance, like synthetic oil changes every 6000 km, a good underbonnet check up every time I gas up, I always use Super gasoline 91 octane ++, this vehicle is becoming a night mare, this is my 3rd GM car (corsica, Alero, Ion) and my last GM vehicle (the truck wasnt all that bad), the service sucks, their products suck, everyone I know who has GM products built in the last 5-10 years are having severe problems.
