What are the best attributes of the 2005 Saturn Ion?
Plastic body panels that don’t ding or rust, energetic handling, and comfortable front seats.

What are the least appealing things about the 2005 Saturn Ion?
The interior combines low-grade materials and strange design elements to create an environment that constantly reminds the owner that he or she couldn’t afford to buy a nicer car.

Saturn offers plenty of help with down payments for both loans and leases. Should I take advantage of these special deals?
Many automakers are offering excellent deals on small cars, and Saturn cannot sweeten the pot better than some. Even the Saturn Ion’s platform-mate, the Chevrolet Cobalt, offers a better warranty for the engine and transmission. Definitely shop around, because the Saturn Ion is not the best car in its class, even with discounts or great lease payments.

Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
