| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I owned a 2004; the 2007 is probably the best ION yet in many respects. full 2007 Saturn ION review |
| 2007 | 4dr Coupe 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Well, it was experience with Saturn in general. My L200 has over 120,000 miles and the only real issue is with the A/C (broken compressor.) Since that was such a good car we went with something similar. full 2007 Saturn ION review |

This is the first ion I have owned, but my previous car was also a Saturn which helped with my decision. full 2006 Saturn ION review |

| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I like my Ion for comfort over my SL2.I have no problems on a long drive. The mileage is great. My lowest was 24 during the winter and on a recent trip I got 34 mpg. I have had people ask me how I like the car and I sent one to the dealer. full 2003 Saturn ION review |

Car has been a work horse owned since 2005. 260K miles but not without issues more than my toyota truck 1998 with 475K on it. Drives and handles well. full 2003 Saturn ION review |
