Reply #69: I have a several year old Satun Ion

[fujiyama]

Decent car. It drives...BUT...

It's built cheaply. The fit and finish just doesn't match my sister's Corolla. The Corolla also drives so smooth and gets better gas mileage. Even new, my car never drove like that. Even though my car's horsepower is higher, the acceleration on the Corolla seems better. The interior for the Corolla is very dull, but it doesn't look like cheap plastic crap inside. The interior panels in my Saturn don't overlap and isn't very well put together.

I've had to replace the wiper transmission because the cheap plastic broke. Granted, that's because of this awful weather and could have happened to any car...

GM has likely improved over 4-5 years (and I'll always be a Corvette fan). Newer Saturns are nicer. Still, I seriously doubt I'll even consider a Saturn when buying a new car...
