My Saturn ion is that 201,000+ miles.
My Saturn ion is that 201,000+ miles. I have not had any major issues, mostly just Maintenance. I do notice an electrical problem. It’s been there since I got the car. I just don’t have the money to pay a mechanic to find the problem.

They were great to work with and so very friendly and
They were great to work with and so very friendly and helpful. They also helped me to get all the info I needed to get my loan approved.
Just got my ion, within the first ten miles the 23 year
Just got my ion, within the first ten miles the 23 year old car lost the timing chain. I guess you get what you pay for. (It was free) Seems easy to work on, and parts are cheap. I'll update my review once I fix it for under 40 dollars on parts! Before this snag it did seem to run well handling was a little touchy or so it seemed to me but I'm used to driving a Chevy truck 10 years older. And just for reference mine got 289,000 miles on the clock!

Very straight forward and willing to answer all questions
Very straight forward and willing to answer all questions even before you ask. This is the main reason I got my Honda Element EX from them. They made it easy for me to make this purchase, quick fast and easy.
Surprisingly the best car i’ve owned.
Never gave up on me. These cars are made to have problems and triumph through them. Keep up on the oil changes and it’ll last you 200k miles easily. The only thing i had to fix on this car within the 2 years i owned it was the alternator, and a minor thing with the throttle body, over all only spent $200-$300 in repairs over 2 years. Timing chain didnt give up on me until 200k miles. A xxxx of a car, comfortable, quick, and truly trustworthy. Perfect car for new drivers or old drivers!!

Most reliable car I've owned Black ION Quad Coupe
This car drove fantastic and took me to see patients as I drove over a thousand miles weekly in several counties. Sadly, after 16 years repairs started adding up, so I gave the 2003 Saturn to my 16 y/o granddaughter who is learning to drive. My son is a certified mechanic and able to keep my beloved Saturn on the road for many more years. The black car still looks brand new.

It was okay.
It was okay. I hadn’t bought a vehicle for a while and they continued to hand me off to different sales person which was different. In the past once you got with someone they stayed with you during the entire experience. We were a thousand dollars apart on making a deal and we could not overcome that. So we made no deal.
