2004 Saturn ION 2

sedan 118,881

2004 saturn ion review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Minor revisions add to its appeal. introductionsaturn ion is an inexpensive compact that emphasizes style and innovation as well as value. Ion was all-new in 2003, and significantly larger than the saturn s-series model it replaced. the 2004 saturn ion features some significant updates, including higher-grade interior fabrics and richer-looking interior trim in more harmonious colors. Additional sound-deadening material brings a quieter cabin. The stereo systems have been improved and is available with an mp3 player, xm satellite radio, and a six-cd changer. ion's steering has been re-calibrated for improved road feel at speed. Both of the available automatic transmissions have been refined as well. And saturn has injected some real excitement into the ion for 2004, with the uniquely trimmed special edition sedan, and the supercharged red line coupe. dent-deflecting and rust-resistant plastic body panels add to the ion's appeal. Acceleration is good for its price class, ride and handling about average. In interior comfort and refinement, saturn still has a way to go. But experience has shown that people choose saturns as much for the hassle-free buying experience as the for car's actual character and performance. In fact, saturn ranks at or near the top in j. Saturn calls the coupe a quad coupe. Picture the door arrangement on an extended-cab pickup, but with a lot more style. the sedan is offered in three trim levels. The coupe is available in the upper two levels. A five-speed manual transmission is standard. Automatic transmissions are available 900-$980), but saturn installs different units in the sedan and the coupe. Sedans use a five-speed automatic, which is unusual in this price range. The windows wind and the mirrors adjust manually. Air conditioning costs extra 960). ion 2 sedan 13,735) and coupe 14,285) add air conditioning, a cd player, a more deluxe interior with a driver's seat that adjusts for height, and 195/60 tires on 15-inch aluminum wheels. ion 3 sedan 15,260) and coupe 15,785) add an mp3 player and better speakers, cruise control, power programmable door locks with remote keyless entry, power windows and mirrors, and other niceties, plus 205/55 tires on 16-inch aluminum wheels. two additional variations debut for 2004. The special edition sedan comes only in black, with machined 16-inch alloy wheels and a chrome exhaust tip. Inside, the special edition is trimmed in perforated neutral leather with ebony accents. Additional standard equipment includes an automatic-dimming mirror, compass, outside temperature gauge, map lights, and unique floor-mat embroidery. the red line coupe, available late in the model year, boasts 200 horsepower from a supercharged and intercooled 2. 0-liter engine. Head curtain air bags 395) that protect both front and rear-seat passengers in a side impact are an unusual option in this price class, and we recommend them as well. cd and cd/mp3 systems are available on ion 1 and ion 2. Xm satellite radio and onstar are offered at levels 2 and 3. A convenience package 825) adds cruise control plus power locks, mirrors, and windows to ion 2. A power sunroof 725) is offered on all models except the ion 1 sedan. Leather upholstery 700) is available on ion 3. walkaroundstylish yet recognizable, the saturn ion sedan drew favorable comments on the street. From the front, the ion retains the saturn family look with slim horizontal headlamps and the saturn name embossed in the bumpers. The windshield slopes far forward, which helps the relatively tall ion look sleek. ion does, in fact, stand tall. The ion sedan's roof curves heavily down to the high trunk line almost giving it the appearance of a hatchback rather than a traditional sedan. The look is contemporary and not that dissimilar from the nissan altima and volkswagen passat, both lauded for their design. ion maintains the saturn tradition of attaching composite polymer body panels to a substantial steel space-frame. The polymer panels can't rust and, because they are slightly resilient, they resist the minor impacts that leave small dents and dings in sheet metal. The down side is that the saturn's panels look thicker than steel sheet and gaps between body parts have to be greater to allow for expansion in hot weather. Another benefit of the composite panels is that they are relatively easy to replace. Saturn has exploited this advantage on the ion by offering alternatively colored roof rails that owners can easily install to customize their car's appearance. All 2004 ions come with body-color roof rails, but nickel-silver rails are available for the coupe and the sedan, and charcoal rails are available for the sedan. one complaint: we find the ion's small, lever-style door handles relatively hard to grasp. Also, the front air dam adds to the sedan's sporty appearance, but scrapes like a corvette on steep driveway and side-street transitions. the ion quad coupe derives its name from a pair of unusual rear-access doors that open on rear-mounted hinges, in much the same way as the auxiliary rear doors on an extended-cab pickup truck. The rear doors have no exterior handles to compromise the coupe's sporty styling; and when they are open, there's no b-pillar in the opening, which makes access to the rear seat very easy for such a small car. The rear access doors are an innovative design that enhances the practicality of this sport coupe. A front passenger seat that folds flat further improves the utility of the coupe. Saturn likes to demonstrate that it's possible to stuff a nine-foot kayak into the coupe through its doors, a feat that would be plenty tough for many suvs, let alone other compact coupes. Ion's interior design themes consist largely of interlocking half circles with different textures. These textures and other interior materials have been upgraded for 2004. New grains on the dash, soft-touch paint, and improved gloss levels of other plastics give the 2004 ion a more upscale appearance than the 2003 model. For those who want to customize the interior, the trim bezels can be swapped out. the open dash design gives the ion an airy feel. Immediately noticeable is the center-mounted instrument cluster, a feature popularized by the mini cooper and toyota echo. The advantage of this, says saturn, is that the instruments can be set at the same level as the outside mirrors, so there's no need to look down, only across. This arrangement also allows for a smaller steering wheel with more range of adjustment, as there is no need to look through the steering wheel to see the gauges. Tall drivers find it convenient, but short drivers who sit nearer to the steering wheel have to swivel their heads farther to look across at the speedometer. Some people like the small steering wheel, but others do not love the ion's small, two-spoke wheel. we do not like the front seats. They are on small, narrow and short, and lack side support in the seat bottom and seat back. Arm rests have been added to ion 2 and ion 3 trim levels for 2004, which may be helpful. forward visibility is inhibited by thick a-pillars in front, while the view over the right shoulder is hindered by wide c-pillars. We found the electric window switches hard to locate in the dark, as they are not illuminated and are located rearward of where we expected them. Rear passengers benefit from slightly elevated (theater) seating, as the rear seats are mounted two inches higher than the front seats, offering an improved view. Rear-seat legroom is adequate, and the front seats have longer-than-normal adjustment rails, so short front-seat passengers can slide them well forward. This also means a taller person can enjoy even greater leg room in front as long as there are no passengers in the rear. the coupe and the sedan feature a big trunk. The sedan's trunk is little larger.

2003 Saturn ION 3

sedan 109,828

2003 saturn ion review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new model is more than a charged particle. introductionout with the old s-series, in with the new ion. it's been 12 years since gm's saturn division first appeared on the automotive scene in an attempt to compete more effectively with japanese imports. Until now. it didn't seem to matter terribly as people have chosen saturns as much for the hassle-free buying experience as the car's actual character and performance. In fact, saturn has been the only non-luxury make to ever top the j. Power and associates sales satisfaction index and was often ranked with such illustrious makes as lexus and infiniti. for 2003, there's an all-new sedan and coupe. This time, saturn has given its entry models a name: ion. The ion replaces the s-series and sports all-new styling. It's built on an entirely new and bigger platform and it's powered by a new engine. Ion 3 is distinguished by 16-inch alloy wheels. an optional five-speed automatic transmission adds $900 to the cost of each model. The optional automatic, however, is a continuously variable transmission, or cvt. . walkaroundstylish yet recognizable, the new saturn ion sedan drew favorable comments on the street. From the front, the ion retains the saturn family look with slim horizontal headlamps and the saturn name embossed in the bumpers. The roof curves quite heavily down to the high trunk line almost giving it the appearance of a hatchback rather than a traditional sedan. The look is contemporary and not that dissimilar from the nissan altima and volkswagen passat. (that's a good thing.) the ion continues with the saturn trademark of utilizing composite polymer body panels mounted on a substantial steel spaceframe. Advantages are rust resistance and resilience to dings and small dents. The disadvantage is that the panels look thicker than steel ones, and gaps between body parts have to be greater to allow for expansion in hot weather. another advantage to the composite panels is that it they are relatively easy to replace. Saturn has taken this a step further with the ion by offering optional colored roof rails that run along the edge of the roof on each side so an owner can easily customize the car's appearance. a front air dam adds to the ion sedan's sporty appearance but scrapes on abrupt transitions found on some driveways and side streets. the coupe's unique feature is a pair of rear doors that give the car its quad coupe name. They are also called rear-access doors (rad) as they open out from the rear hinges in much the same way as on many crew cab pickup trucks. The absence of a b-pillar and a front seat that folds forward makes access to the rear very easy despite it being a small car. In fact saturn likes to demonstrate that it's possible to get a nine-foot kayak in the quad coupe through the doors, a feat that would be tough to do in many suvs, let alone a small compact coupe. The advantages, according to saturn are that the instruments are at the same level as the outside mirrors, which makes them easier to see when looking straight ahead. There's no need to look down, only across. They also allow for a smaller steering wheel with more adjustments, as there is no need to look through the steering wheel to see the gauges. The center-mounted speedometer gets mixed reviews. Tall drivers are likely to find it just as convenient as one mounted conventionally in front of the steering wheel. Short drivers, who sit nearer to the steering wheel, will have to turn their heads to look across to the speedometer. ion's interior design themes consist largely of interlocking half circles with different textures available. In places it works well, but there are some parts where butting plastic panels look a little cheap. The open dash design gives the ion an airy feel. we found the electric window switches a bit hard to locate in the dark as they are not illuminated and are located rearward of where we expected them, but at least they are conveniently mounted on the door and not on awkwardly on the center console as with previous saturn models. Rear passengers benefit from slightly elevated (theater) seating, as the seats are located two inches higher than the front seats, offering an improved view. Rear-seat legroom is adequate and if the front passengers are short the front seats can be slid far forward as they have longer seat rails than normal. This also means a taller person can enjoy even greater leg room in front as long as there are no passengers in the rear. we did not like the front seats. They lacked side support, both on the seat bottom and on the seat back. Also, they are on the small side, narrow and short. At times, we felt like we were sitting on a padded bar stool, about to fall off. Indeed, with a capacity of nearly 15 cubic feet, and a practical shape, the trunk is bigger than any in its segment and is as big as those in many mid-size cars. safety features include dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags and optional curtain side-impact airbags for improved head protection for both front- and rear-seat passengers. Onstar, gm's telematics system for emergency use and for obtaining information while driving is available as an option. forward visibility is inhibited by thick a-pillars in front, while the view over the right shoulder is reduced by wide c-pillars. a nice in-dash six-disc cd changer is available that features big buttons and knobs to control audio functions. All stereo systems should be ergonomically designed this well. . driving impressionsaturn likes to say the ion is fun to drive, but enthusiast drivers will find it ordinary. That's not to say it's bad, just that it does not excite. the engine pulls nicely with more performance than most other cars of this size. The engine sounds a little rough at times, which is surprising considering it is a much newer design than the old engine and it has counter-balance shafts for added smoothness. we weren't entirely happy with the steering. There's a dead spot on center. Off center it's a bit darty and it feels numb when driving fast on winding roads. Also, there's a fair amount of torque steer, a tugging sensation on the steering wheel when accelerating hard out of a turn. The variable-ratio steering is electrically operated, which is one of the first times such a system has been used in a small car. It makes the steering more effective at slow speed and also improves fuel economy as power is not sapped from the engine by a hydraulic pump. We liked the ion sedan's small turning radius, two to three feet tighter than that of a dodge neon or pontiac sunfire, useful when making u-turns. a sophisticated integrated electrical system with a lan (local area network) is part of the technology in the ion that is hidden from view. Apart from daytime running lights, automatic headlights and electric steering it does not offer much in the base model but it does allow the easy addition of options such as a sophisticated anti-lock braking system with traction control. Consequently these options can be offered on all models in the ion range as the basic circuits are built in. On up market models it allows for power windows and mirrors with extra features that might normally be found on more expensive cars. ride and handling are good, average for the class. The ion seems to be free of squeaks and rattles. Refinement, in terms of noise and vibration, is, at best, average for the class. The front suspension has struts while the rear uses a torsion-beam to provide more interior space in the trunk. Front and rear stabilizer bars on all models reduce lean in the corners. . summarysaturn appears to have tried hard to make a stylish car that's also somewhat fun to drive. It has several innovative features including electric steering, a ce. Power Windows✔ Anti-lock Brakes✔ Power Mirrors✔ Power Locks✔ AM/FM✔ Air Conditioning✔ CD Changer✔ Cruise Control✔ Alloy Wheels
