2004 Saturn ION 3 Quad Coupe review from North America
"Comfortable and reliable car for those on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
I bought this car after numerous positive comments from close friends that are Saturn owners.
From the moment I contacted the dealership I was treated like a king. They arranged for and paid for my rental car to get to their dealership which was 150 miles away. When I walked through the door, the salesman yelled out my name and spent forever going over every single model and made sure I got exactly what I wanted, including modifying the price to fit my financing.
I put 800 miles on the car within 48 hours of buying it and I was very impressed with it's performance and handling for the very low price. I easily cleared 30 MPG on mostly freeway driving. This car comes loaded for the price you see, there are very few options that aren't included so you won't get sticker shock when you look to buy it. This car is so impressive my friend actually turned down a Mercedes in favor of the ION Quad Coupe.
If you are looking for a great car at an amazing price go to Saturn. I won't lie and say it is the best car ever. But, for the price you cannot find a car that can remotely compare to it.
