2003 Saturn ION ion 3 review from North America
"An excellent choice, if you are looking for an peppy economical urban car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with my Ion since I bought it 6 months ago.
General comments?
As a previous owner of a Honda Accord, I seriously looked at buying a Honda Civic, but took a test drive of the Ion. What a surprise to find driving a Saturn Ion was like driving a Japanese car only a lot cheaper to own.
I have found the Ion 3 to be a good solid economy car. It is great on gas, easy to park, steering is tight, ride is comfortable.
The dealership has been very customer friendly, which is a breath of fresh air in this world.
