Thank you for Looking & Enjoy reading the rest of our ad!
This Affordable Ion sedan is comfortable, with newly redesigned seats that are larger and more supportive. Adding to this comfortable new seating position is a larger steering wheel, a surprisingly important feature.
Her ride is smoother and quieter than previous models, making her more pleasant in daily use. Handling is sharper, making her more enjoyable to drive. Extensive mechanical improvements to the 2005 models include revised suspension settings and improved steering feel.
This 2005 Ion sedan looks better too, with a new front-end treatment that gives her a classier, more elegant, more mainstream, more upscale appearance.
This Fantastic Ion sedan offers four-door practicality. The front seats offer lots of headroom, and the back seats are roomy.
Surveys of buyers indicate the Saturn Ion is easy to have maintained. Maintaining one is a satisfying experience as well. Saturn ranked No. 2 in a 2003 J.D. Power survey on customer satisfaction with dealer service, outranked only by Infiniti and well ahead of Honda and Toyota.
Walkaround
Stylish yet recognizable, the 2005 Saturn Ion sedan drew favorable comments on the street. The new nose gives the Ion a more contemporary look, with a more traditional grille between the headlights.
The windshield slopes dramatically, helping the relatively tall Ion look sleek. And the Ion does stand tall. It's more than four inches taller than the previous-generation S-Series that it replaced. The Ion sedan's roof curves heavily down to the high trunk line almost giving it the appearance of a hatchback rather than a traditional sedan. The sedan looks contemporary and not that dissimilar from the Nissan Altima and Volkswagen Passat, both lauded for their design but higher in price.
Ion continues the Saturn tradition of attaching composite polymer body panels to a substantial steel space-frame. The polymer panels can't rust and, because they are resilient, they resist the minor impacts that leave small dents and dings in sheet metal. Another benefit of the composite panels is that they are relatively easy to replace.
Interior Features
Very Comfortable! That's the best way to describe her Stylish Grey interior. Lots of headroom, a benefit of her high roofline, makes this Ion sedan a good choice for tall drivers.
Passengers in all four seats enjoy good headroom. Rear passengers benefit from slightly elevated (theater) seating, as the rear seats are mounted two inches higher than the front seats. This gives back-seat riders a better view.
The interior looks stylish and youthful. Ion's interior design features interlocking half circles and an assortment of textures. Textures and materials have been upgraded for 2005 and the overall effect is nice. New chrome rings adorn the instruments and vents. The new four-spoke steering wheel feels nice to the touch and is larger in diameter than last year's, making it more comfortable to hold.
The open dash design gives the Ion an airy feel. Immediately noticeable is the center-mounted instrument cluster, a feature popularized by the Mini Cooper and Toyota Echo. The advantage of this, says Saturn, is that the instruments can be set at the same level as the outside mirrors, so there's no need to look down, only across.
A big trunk adds to the practicality. This sedan's trunk has a capacity of nearly 15 cubic feet and a practical shape with a flat floor. It's as big any in its segment and is as big as those in many mid-size cars.
The audio system is a paragon of ergonomic design. All stereo systems should be designed this well. The optional CD player features big buttons and knobs to control audio functions. Optional CD player ($290).
Driving Impressions
This Baby handles well, has a smooth ride quality and it's quiet. Stand on the gas and the engine pulls nicely.
Saturn has been improving the Ion each year. The steering has been improved and new suspension bushings have been designed to improve the ride and handling. Other measures were implemented to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
Saturn recalibrated the steering for more on-center road feel and to complement the new, larger steering wheel. The variable-ratio steering is electrically assisted, a technology General Motors developed first for its luxury cars. It makes the steering boost more effective at slow speed and improves fuel economy as power is not sapped from the engine by a hydraulic pump. She has a delightfully small turning radius, which is a couple of feet tighter than that of a Dodge Neon or Ford Focus. That's useful when making those dreaded U-turns.
Ride and handling are good. The Ion seems to be free of squeaks and rattles, and additional sound deadening material and other refinements were added for 2005. GM's Quiet Steel is used in the firewall between the engine compartment and passenger area. (Two pieces of steel sandwich a layer of asphalt, which absorbs vibration much better than traditional materials.) In addition, a new noise-absorbing engine cover is used along with driveline enhancements to reduce engine noise. Overall, the Ion seems more refined than before.
The front suspension has struts while the rear uses a torsion-beam axle to provide more interior space in the trunk. She has hydraulic rear suspension bushings and revised front lower control arm bushings for better ride and handling. Front and rear stabilizer bars reduce lean in the corners. The Ion handles well on winding roads. The ride is nicely damped on rough roads.
The twin-cam 2.2-liter engine offers more performance than in most other cars of this size, and the added sound deadening reduces the rough engine note.
This Ion 1 sedan comes with a four-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo, tilt steering, an immobilizing anti-theft system, 185/70 tires on 14-inch steel wheels, and more. The Optional Air conditioning She has cost an extra ($960).
Safety features include dual-stage driver and front-passenger frontal airbags. The Ion has received five-star/five-star ratings, the highest attainable, in the federal government's (NHTSA) crash tests. Always wear your seatbelts as they are your first line of defense in an accident.
To Sum This Ion UP!...
This 2005 Berry Red Saturn Ion is a stylish compact sedan with innovative features. She gets GREAT Gas Mileage and drives nicely with ample performance. She offers a good value and lots of interior space for people and cargo. Saturn buyers report happier experiences when servicing than with other brands. Dent-deflecting and rust-resistant plastic body panels add to this Ion's appeal.
