2007 Saturn Ion - Most Reliable Car I have Ever Driven!
The car is compact and easy to drive. It's roomy enough to fit 3 adults in the back seat and has decent trunk space. Everything functions well, regular maintenance parts are affordable and very easy to replace. I am a female, I like to tinker around and learn to do things on YouTube. I was able to replace the air filter myself.
Story
Our streets often flood when it rains. One night, i was driving home from work and it was so dark and rainy I couldn't see how much water was in the street. As I drove down the road, a block from my house, the car started sputtering and came to a dead stop. I opened the door and the water started coming in. I ran home and called some friends. By the time I got back to the car, about 10 mi... (more)
Pros
I bought the car used about seven years ago and have not needed any maintenance on it thus far (with exception of the regular oil change, tire replacement, etc). This car is very reliable.
Cons
There are a few blind spots that cause me to lean forward or back to double check for safety. The first is on the left and right of the windshield - the metal is so thick you sometimes can't see when stopped at an intersection. Hard to tell if a person is standing on the corner or if a car is coming at you. The other is with the placement of the rearview mirror - I often have to lean forward to see under the mirror. I'm not sure if this is manufacturer placement or due to the OnStar system the dealer placed in the car. The mirror is big and bulky.
2007 Saturn Ion - Great compact car!
This is my second Saturn Ion and I would get a third if they were still manufactured. At 8 years old, the car is still relatively stylish and I'm glad I bought it. Repair costs have been minimal! Service calls have been few, limited to oil changes and one incident with a window motor. I love this car and I'm sorry they don't make'em like they used to. This model has been discontinued.
Story
The first time my girlfriend and I went on a date was in this car when we went to see manatees. She brushed my arm and I jumped. Two years later we still laugh about it. She says she's just glad I didn't drive off the roads since the roads here are crowded. I told her with this car, it's easy to drive, and that would never happen.
Pros
The fuel economy is excellent, handling is great, and cruise control is easy to use. Functionality of the dashboard components is good. The seats are very comfortable. The stereo system is really good and the CD player still works after A LOT of use! The ability to access the trunk from the inside of the car is very useful when moving and hauling large numbers of boxes and bags. The rear doors, AKA suicide doors, are unique and different.
Cons
The front end of the car is a bit low and you need to be careful when parking and driving in rough terrain. Be careful not to get the remote wet or it will stop working (the key fob). Replacement key fobs are very expensive.

1998 Saturn S-Series - Lokey Nissan Clearwater
Lokey Nissan offers a reliable maintenance center. . . As a single woman, I felt safe buying my car and I didn't feel like I was ever being ripped off when purchasing parts for my car either. They educated me on the cars mechanical problem's before asking me to buy new parts to fix it. Also, they have night time drop off services so you can drop your car off for oil changes or service work after 6pm. . . great for 9-5 workers!
Also, this dealership gave me a $1,000 discount when I bought my new Saturn because it was a car they allowed people to use for test drives, and my car still had less than 50 miles on it. I have, overall, been quite happy with this dealership. :-)
2009 Saturn Vue - Ed Morse Sawgrass Auto Mall Sunrise
This dealership is in a very convenient location and is not hard to locate, it is right off the Sawgrass Expressway. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. It is a large dealership with a great selection of vehicles! If there are any ever any problems with the car, the service department is very efficient and quick to accommodate you . This is a great dealership.
