2007 Saturn ION Level 2 Sedan Start Up, Review and Full Tour

[@NickDalzell]

Great on gas, got mine with 65K and now getting close to 100K soon and only part I had to replace was a driver side wheel bearing. zero issues at all with this car and excellent gas mileage. unlike the haters I find the center gauges neat.

[@ThinkOutsideTheCube]

That thing is sooo clean for the age. 98% of these are completely trashed, great find!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

It really is! It's definitely rare to find one in this good of condition.

[@craigstewart6524]

Lol no its not

[@swiftbarker]

Mines in perfect condition

[@mj6007]

Nice presentation. But that clicking throughout the whole thing bugged me though.

[@brorowcarwiz]

Wow! I have personally never seen an Ion that well maintained.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Neither have I! A rare find for sure!

[@gnaips5289]

+Maxxcarz my mom drives one in excellent condition

[@vvocky]

brorowcarwiz The 2007 Ion I drive currently has 54,000 miles, but it's definitely not that well maintained. Mine has a couple rips and stains.

[@Knockaswagga]

come to California

[@ddemier]

I have a 2004 Saturn Ion sedan with a 2.2 ecotec automatic with 220,000 miles and still runs strong.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Awesome! They are long lasting vehicles for sure.

[@ratsrock2323]

Can confirm. My '07 Cobalt Coupe is pushing 150k with nothing but normal preventative maintenance. These are crazy reliable cars and despite the somewhat boring look can be really fun to drive!

[@Friendly0Dan]

My cousin has one of these, they bought it brand new back in 2007 and it almost has 200,000km's on it and they've had no major issues with the car at all and it still runs and drives great! Surprising something so boring is so reliable.. Everytime I'm in it I feel like I should be able to turn the 'gauge pod' lol

[@FaultzGaming]

yeah. I have the same car pushing 250,xxx miles here soon. only major thing we've done to it is replace the engine because when my mom owned it she cubed it knocking a hole in the oil pan. cx the trooper of a car drove a little more then a hour and a half before the engine blew up. But she made it from point A to B with no oil so it's definitely a trooper of a car

[@Friendly0Dan]

Update* her car has some minor issues, the rear left door is off the hinges and will not open or close properly, and the only power window that goes up and down is the passenger side. otherwise still runs and drives fine

[@Scotty5064350]

We had a 2003 Ion with 230,000 miles it never used oil and ran like it was new. rust free car. On a long trip we got 45.6 MPG. We should never traded it in for another car. Big mistake.

[@clover7359]

10:10 Those power windows are snappy!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Yep!

[@domdom27939]

just got a grey one in top notch condition. so amazing on gad

[@FaultzGaming]

Nice find dude. I gotta 07 saturn ion 2 just like that except it's dark blue and don't have that spoiler. almost 240,xxx but runs like a champ. never had a major issue and it runs like a dream. fantastic cars they are. and with there dent resistant side panels that devoted a whole commercial to 😃

[@Alexscott100]

The 2003-2006 ions with the ecotec 2.2 have 140 hp but the 2007 ecotec 2.2 has 145 and the ion 3 had a optional ecotec 2.4 VVT I4

[@prospectsnowwaverygiavonni9103]

Alex0695 would u recommend it for purchase?

[@kaytrasicedtea]

If you actually take out all of the steering defect and ignition switch defect, this really is a good small car.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

True! My Grandpa used to have an L-Series wagon and it ran 253,000 miles before the odometer stopped working, and then he kept driving it for another 2 or 3 years.

[@summerlalex6303]

I own a 2004 ION. I love my car and it runs nicely. No issues and most importantly no car payments

[@zippy3434]

This just proves how nice you can keep a car if you just take care of it

[@matizaph]

Had a green one just like it. Traded it in for a new Chevy Malibu 2010. The Ion was pretty but after the 3 year mark the steering wheel starting locking on me. It was dangerous as hell. The dealership told me that year model is known to have that problem. Saturn went out of business and so did their beautiful cars.

[@levis5230]

What year was your ion Franz?

[@BlakesCars2]

Even know these cars aren't that good looking, I'd take it over its chevy / pontiac platform any day! ( because of the plastic lol ) my cousin has an '03 coupe with 250k, I'm sure it's been through pure hell too. So it's safe to say these cars run forever!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Most of the ION's I have seen have high miles and are in rough shape. It's not everyday you come across one as nice as this!

[@Alexscott100]

+BlakesCars2 is your cousins ion coupe a automatic?

[@BlakesCars2]

no its the 5 speed

[@Alexscott100]

Oh ok mine is a automatic

[@TJC450]

Must have been a granny car! And it's had its ignition switch done which is good to know!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

I think it was! And it's nice to have the new ignition for sure.

[@tabmax1718]

That sir, is how everyone should start and turn on their vehicles

[@andrecampeau2059]

2006 saturn wont start after stander transmission as been repaired

[@jackjohnson7396]

Still driving the same dark blue 5 speed. Have 48 grand on it , still good condition. Bought it in 2009 two years old. Getting to the point some ask me about the car now. Might as well keep it at this point. A cheap new car is about 25 grand now. Too much.

[@josephirey4660]

I have one. The maroon. I love it .

[@shawncarter6807]

I have the Maroon as well

[@Alexscott100]

Cypress Green. This car has the ion 3 rims which are 16s where as the ion 2 optional alloy wheels are the same but there 15s

[@LaquedaRansome-db7gn]

My mother had one of these cars back in 2011 but it was a different Saturn it was a Saturn Vue

[@biggd1452]

I loved how that engine got me 40mpg.

[@choncoconcos5912]

Naah, really?

[@dave11686]

Very nice!

[@Eliyourcarguy]

For sure!

[@RANDOMMekhaniks]

I have a burgundy 07 Ion 2 but it doesnt have alloy wheels or a spoiler.

[@antoniopressey912]

I just got one nice car, good on gas

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Congrats! They are very fuel efficient!

[@andrewschannel4259]

This car received a poor rating in the IIHS side crash test even when tested with curtain airbags.

[@prospectsnowwaverygiavonni9103]

chris the realiest !

[@alfredsprague6447]

You never speaked about the battery cuz it in the trunk next to the spare tire

[@AVPolaris1]

This is crazy because my name is Eli too

[@Steven19631]

What is with the background clicking?

[@GetGood5]

Proabably his cameras mechanical zoom adjusting

[@dorieannsalazar5615]

He is grinding his teeth...lol

[@youhandle9]

is this still available?

[@SomeSaturndriver]

I have an ion in the same color but not with the same options

[@charlinefrancois5712]

Does it have heated seats

[@mrgutchman]

I don't know what the hell the makers of Saturn were thinking by putting the dashboard gauges in the center instead of putting them in front of the driver's seat like most other cars do.

[@NickDalzell]

+Matthew Rivera personally I like it. it gives a more unique experience and actually keeps it less distracting and your full view is of the road. no one complained about it on the Toyota Echo but apparently it's more common to knock Saturn on everything.

[@NickDalzell]

I own an ION 3 and I don't get why people everywhere hate on it. It's a great car

[@FaultzGaming]

It's a amazing car with a unique characteristic for that. it's easier to read because your steering wheel isn't obscuring it

[@NickDalzell]

Exactly. But the haters fail to see that. It's not like you have to take your eyes off the road to view it. Personally, I think the ION, Aura, and such were the better of Saturn. The older ones that get all the love are foreign car wannabes but with ugly front ends, and plasticy interiors with minimal features, and unreliable engines. Theres tons of SL series in junkyards with barely 100K on their odometers. One has tons of oil bottles in the trunk. Most SL series shat out valve guides and became two strokes. Had the unfortunate luck to be behind one at a stoplight and a few miles afterwards. He actually seemed oblivious to the large blue cloud behind him and ended up taking it to a car wash. He should have been concerned more with how much oil he lost than how clean the car was

[@lilyrrichard236]

I love having it in the center. I'm short and it keeps me from having to look over or under the steering wheel.

[@jacey_logan]

Mine is nowhere near this clean. Found this video cause I wanted to see what mine is supposed to look like 😂

[@y.s8915]

Damn that's not a lot of leg room in the back

[@shannonfournier8916]

No aux input ?

[@Nautajoey]

It does I own one

[@elainedufresne746]

Est il dispo

[@aestheticboi6123]

Interior looks like a toyota echo

[@thegirlsquad6076]

i have that kind of car

[@sacemanrus8339]

Saturn ion? More like saturn Fryon

[@grantschneider926]

My parents bought me one of these back in the day, you shouldve heard the jokes they were cracking at school the next day. This car is a joke

[@mcleanblades9234]

Maybe you didn't have any friends in the day at school.

[@keithbranch3081]

This car ain't no joke it's ur self esteem that joke..U know how to 👗 a car up.It wouldn't be a joke

[@ayannasworld2037]

Grant Schneider your dumb their are people out here busting their ass to get a car and you got one for free and you were really worried about what people thought of it sounds to me like your the joke so ungrateful

[@demonteylewis4042]

Ayanna Sorrells swear 💯

[@RobNtBob]

Yeah full bolt ons and a tune this car is no joke. Super fun to drive.

[@asbjrne.stackmest5015]

I own a Saturn Bicycle, it gets 400 PPH, Pedels Per Hour. 😙🚬

[@johnbobby3474]

Lol....Saturn
