2004 Saturn ION review from North America
"Don't buy it; there are way better cars out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car rattles incessantly, dealer cannot find the problem. Spark plug wires went bad stranding me. The steering wheel is still not on straight after two allignments. Lenses for intruments had some kind of goo on them when I first got the car, replacements only slightly better. Door panels are already starting to come apart and get loose. Annoying air leaks around windows at speed.
General comments?
This car is just not well made, and once they sell you the car; the friendly saturn family seem to turn into the familiar mugged by mr. badwrench gang.
