2004 Saturn ION 2 (Sports Package) review from North America
"This car is a dream!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing I can say is "bad" about my Ion 2 is that the blinkers are a little sensitive (perhaps a wiring issue?). When I first got the car, the right blinker did not work in the front (but signalled in the back) but it has corrected itself, so I assume it's a short in the wire.
General comments?
I do love this car.
I came from a 97' Kia Sephia and a 2001 Kia Sportage before that. While I loved the Sportage tremendously, the Sephia left a very sour taste in my mouth when I hear the name "Kia".
While I was never a big Saturn fan, somehow this car won over my heart in the test drive.
I have the coupe Ion 2. Not only is this car visually appealing to me, but it handles like a dream.
I chose the manual transmission because I like to feel like I'm really driving. The seats are VERY comfortable and it's much more spacious than one would think.
I know a lot of people have problems with the "cheap plastic dash" but I really like how it looks. When it's cleaned up really well, it looks great.
I really do love this car and am hoping to continue loving it for a long long time.
