2007 Saturn ION 3 review from North America
"This is my fourth Saturn - I would definitely buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet to go wrong.
General comments?
This car is great to drive. It has good power, handles well, and is very economical. I get 37 mpg on the highway (driving 70 mph). Around the city I get about 33 mpg - the manual tranny lets me get it into 5th gear at 35 mph for great fuel economy.
A few things in the interior are showing wear, but nothing major after more than 3 years of ownership.
The plastic body panels are GREAT!! No dings or dents. The paint is superb - when I wash the car it looks like new!
My only complaint about the car is the cruise control... it doesn't engage smoothly. ie when you have the cruise set and you "coast" to a slower speed then release, there is a slight jolt as the cruise re-engages. It's barely noticeable on level pavement, but when you're going uphill it's bad.
