2004 Saturn ION 2 review from North America
"Great gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the car the power-door lock on the passenger side did not work. Took it to the dealership and they said the wiring was lose and the fixed it, plus the said my handle on the driver's door was sticking and they fixed it too. I never notice that the handle stuck. The battery went dead for some unknown reason. No lights were on and it went dead fast. The clock said 11:45 when I got out and when I got it started it said 11:50. I have no idea what would make a car go dead that fast! Plus I could not get the key out of the ignition after it wouldn't start. Other than that no problems.
General comments?
Gets really great gas mileage. I drive 75 miles a day to work and back and can usually make the whole week on a tank of gas. Plus I can fill up on $20. It's not as peppy as my zx2 that I had, but only had it for a month before I got rear-ended. The seats do stain easily.
