Miles Overview
The Saturn Ion is a compact sedan that replaced the S-Series, with a plastic body that won't rust or dent easily. It's maneuverable around town and easy to drive, but the ride is on the firm side and the car sits low to the ground. The cabin is roomy up front with comfortable seats, but the rear seat is tight and the stereo and clock can act up over time. Owners report the Ion is reliable with low maintenance costs, though the ignition key is prone to getting stuck and there were several recalls. The base Ion gives you the essentials without the alloy wheels or upgraded stereo of the higher trims, keeping the price low. Its 2.2L I4 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with a automatic transmission, which is adequate for daily driving but not quick. The base trim's steel wheels and manual mirrors are honest and simple, but you'll miss the convenience of power windows and locks.
