The Ion

I am a proud owner of a '97 SL2.

Having seen Saturn's lineup, I am seriously not impressed.

The worse of them all is the Ion.

Moving the dash to the center, the gas cap to the right (without the locking
feature) has been the straw that broke the back of a poor camel.

I am not sure what my next car will be.

I bought a Saturn for reliability. It's reliable, although it could be much
more reliable in certain areas where the company will continue to refuse a
product recall, but that's besides the point.

Owning the same car for 9 years either makes me cheap or cautious about my
next car.

Currently, I am saving for something good. I just don't like what I see with
Saturn.

 

I forget which magazine it was, but I howled with laughter when I read
their review of the then new ION. "We waited 12 years for this?????"

I just drove a friend's Ford Focus. I haven't owned a Ford since my 2 1991
Taurus's that always needed a repair but I was impressed by the Focus. He
hasn't had any problems with it. He bought it used a year or so ago and
drives it a lot.
