The 2004 Saturn Ion 2 is a great value for the price. It's an extemely reliable, low-maintenence vehicle with great mileage. The passenger compartment is nice and roomy, although the seats in the back can be a bit uncomfortable during long road trips. It's got nice acceleration, unlike a lot of other similarly marketed cars. The stero is great too! The center placement of the dash panels is unusual at first but now I love it. My only complaint is that this is a noisy car, particulary on the highways.
