8,995 2006 Saturn ION

101,782 gasoline silver automatic

2006 saturn ion review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. More power and convenience. introductionsaturn's strength has always been its dealers. It's saturn's car that haven't always measured up, particularly in comfort and refinement. When it appeared in 2003, the ion represented a major improvement over the old saturn s-series. We found the seats uncomfortable and its levels of refinement were average at best. However, saturn has continued to update and refine the ion over the past three model years, and we came away with positive impressions of the current models. Most of the things we complained about have been changed and refinement has been improved overall. the most substantial changes came for 2005: larger and more supportive seats have replaced the barstools used previously, and a larger steering wheel provides a more comfortable grip. Suspension tweaks have resulted in a smoother and quieter car that's more pleasant in everyday use. At the same time, the handling is sharper, making it more fun to drive. And the appearance of the sedan was greatly improved with a new grille. the improvements continued for 2006: saturn has reconfigured the center dash to provide more room for storage and to enhance legroom. Onstar is now standard on all ions. A larger, more powerful engine is available. Saturn has dropped the base-level sedan with its narrow seats, and a new enhanced performance package has been added to bridge the gap between the base-engine/base suspension models and the ion red line sport compact. Prices have been reduced, especially at the lower end of the line, where an 2006 ion 2 sedan lists for $2,455 less than a comparable '05 model. meanwhile, all of the ion's best features remain unchanged. The quad coupe features innovative dual rear-access doors, like those on an extended-cab pickup, that make it easy to load and unload cargo. We found we could stuff large objects into the back seat of a saturn that would not go into a traditional two-door coupe. the red line coupe features a 205-horsepower supercharged engine good for 0-60 mph in about 6. 3 seconds. We found it fun to drive, with strong throttle response and a sporty exhaust note. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and an automatic transmission is optional 900). for 2006, the sedan is offered in two trim levels, called ion 2 and ion 3. Onstar, previously a $695 option, is now standard as well. A preferred package 875) adds cruise control, power windows, mirrors and locks. Aluminum wheels are also available 440). the ion 3 sedan 14,325) and coupe 15,625) add an mp3 player and better speakers, air conditioning, cruise control, programmable power locks with remote keyless entry, power windows and mirrors, and other niceties, plus 205/55 tires on 16-inch aluminum wheels. Leather upholstery 700) is optional. The new enhanced performance package 995) combines the new 2. 4-liter engine with stiffer shocks and anti-roll bars. ion red line quad coupe 19,425) boasts 205 horsepower from a supercharged and intercooled 2. 0-liter engine mated to a heavy-duty getrag five-speed manual gearbox. A competition package 1,375) adds a quaife limited-slip differential, 17-inch forged wheels, a boost gauge and a programmable tachometer. stereo upgrades include a cd changer, cd/mp3 systems, and xm satellite radio 325). A travel package 200) includes a map light, outside temperature gauge, compass, and auto-dimming inside mirror. A power sunroof 725) is available for all models. safety features include dual-stage driver and front-passenger frontal airbags. New for 2006 is a passenger sensing system that switches off the right front airbag if the right front seat is unoccupied, or occupied by a small adult or child who could be injured by the airbag; it's standard in all ions except the red line. (saturn still strongly recommends restraining children in the back seat in appropriate child seats.) optional side-curtain airbags 395) are designed to improve head protection for front- and rear-seat passengers in the event of a side impact or rollover. The ion has received five-star/five-star ratings, the highest attainable, in the federal government's crash tests. We recommend the optional abs and traction control 400) as it can help the driver avoid a crash. The bright metal grille with the saturn logo front-and-center that were added for 2005 give the ion a more conventional look, but it's less polarizing (and better looking) than the previous design with its heavy bright bar over a blacked-out slot just above the bumper. the windshield slopes dramatically, helping the relatively tall ion look sleek. And the ion does stand tall, at 57. 4 inches. The sedan's roof curves heavily down to the high trunk line, almost giving it the appearance of a hatchback rather than a traditional sedan. We found the ion's small, lever-style door handles relatively hard to grasp. the quad coupe breathes through a blacked-out slot above the bumper and a larger rectangular scoop below, but it looks simple, functional, and attractive. Red line models have three big openings below the bumper. the quad coupe gets its name from a pair of mini-doors behind the main portals that open on rear-mounted hinges, in much the same way as the auxiliary doors on an extended-cab pickup. The rear doors have no exterior handles to compromise the coupe's sporty styling; and when they are open, there's no b-pillar in the opening, which makes access to the rear seat very easy for such a small car. It's an innovative design that enhances the practicality of this sport coupe. The front passenger seat folds flat, improving utility further. Saturn likes to demonstrate that it's possible to stuff a nine-foot kayak into the coupe through its doors, a feat that would be plenty tough for many suvs, let alone other compact coupes. The polymer panels can't rust and, because they are slightly 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. Saturn has exploited this advantage on the ion by offering alternatively colored roof rails that owners can easily install to customize their car's appearance. Nickel-silver roof rails are available for the coupe and sedan, and charcoal rails are available for the sedan only. We weren't happy with the comfort nor the quality of the ion interior when the model first appeared in 2003, but saturn has made significant changes since then. the biggest of these changes came for 2005, when larger and more substantial seats replaced the original flat and skimpy perches. This represented a vast improvement, though we'd still like more side support. However, they do feature a height adjustment via a mechanical jacking system something like volkswagen's. The red line coupe comes with excellent recaro seats, but they are best suited for drivers with narrow hips. textures and materials were upgraded for 2005 and the overall effect is nice. Chrome rings adorn the instruments and vents. The shifter and cruise controls were improved as well. .

10,995 2009 Saturn Aura

sedan 101,561 black automatic

2009 saturn aura review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Solid sedan with european roots. introductionthe saturn aura is an excellent choice among midsize sedans. It's modern and fresh, with european character and aesthetic flair. Taut and responsive, it drives like a european family sedan, perhaps because it rides on a german opel platform. The cabin is tastefully done and laid out and all the controls work very well. A range of engines and drivetrains is available for fuel economy or performance. for 2009, aura emphasizes fuel efficiency. This is a smooth, sophisticated engine that makes the aura a very enjoyable car to drive. Brakes, suspension and powertrain all work together to respond to the driver's wishes. Compared with the cars in its own price class, such as the honda accord, toyota camry and ford fusion, the aura is well equipped with safety and comfort features. All are front-wheel drive. Hybrids with the preferred package can add the premium trim package 990), which includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, leather upholstery and heated front seats. A convenience package for xr 590) adds heated exterior mirrors, remote starter, auto-dimming inside rearview and outside driver's mirror, compass, and universal garage door opener; a similar package for xe 840) adds heated front seats as well. Available on xr and xr v6 is a six-way power passenger seat 400); a 6-cd changer 300); and an advanced audio package 425) comprising an eight-speaker, 240-watt audio system with rear-seat audio controls with two wireless headphones. All models offer a power sunroof with sunshade 800), premium floor mats 80-100), woodgrain interior trim 75), and an engine-block heater 75). The new all season package 290) includes rubber floor mats and molded splash guards, but is not offered on the hybrid. Passive safety features that come standard on all models include front seat belts with pretensioners and load-limiters, dual advanced front air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact air bags (for torso protection in a side impact), and front- and rear-seat curtain air bags (for head protection in a rollover or side impact). The saturn aura shares the same platform as the saab 9-3 and the european-market opel vectra. The aura shares styling cues with the opel. The saturn aura is front-wheel drive and rides on a 112-inch wheelbase. in front, the aura features a broad grille with a thick chrome insert flanked by almond-shaped, multi-element headlamp units. The nicely sculpted front bumper houses tiny fog lamps on the xr v6. With big engines and front-wheel drive, the aura has a requisitely long nose, but thanks to nice tapering of the bumpers, it doesn't look disproportionately front-heavy. the body sides are clean and tastefully sculpted, with a healthy bit of chrome detailing on the window trim. The xr takes this a step further with bright door handles. The aura rides on a long wheelbase, which contributes to an elegant, planted appearance. A power moonroof with sun shade is optional. auras xe models ride on 17-inch steel wheels with wheel covers. Xr upgrades to 17-inch alloy rims and, for 2009, so does the hybrid. Xr v6 comes with 18-inch alloy wheels. the rear end is dominated by glitzy, high-mounted tail lamps that mirror the almond shape of the headlamps and incorporate two strips of fast-illuminating led brake lights. Savvy observers can spot a 2009 edition because the model name has moved out of the bright panel at the base of the trunk lid and onto the paintwork just above it. The bright panel itself is gone from the 2009 xr v6, for a cleaner look we like. We're less thrilled with the new hybrid decals at the top of the hybrid model's windshield and rear window. Secondary controls are shared with other gm models. the front seats offer reasonable support for most people, though we would like to see better lumbar support. We found the fabric upholstery to be of high quality. The quality of the xr's leather seemed marginal, however, with the only exception being the cool-looking moroccan brown option featuring uniquely grained, embossed leather seating inserts. The available eight-way power adjustments for the driver made it easier to get comfortable than in the standard seats. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes, though it feels one size too large for this car. The front-seat elbow rest cleverly extends into the b-pillar for an additional 1. 6 inches of elbow room, to accommodate taller drivers who slide the seat rearward. The cover for the center console slides fore and aft for comfortable elbow resting on the inboard side. Outward vision through the windshield and side windows is good. A trip computer/vehicle information display is nestled in the speedometer, and has a real-time fuel economy function. Therefore, only one function (the trip odometer, standard odometer, fuel economy, the gear indicator for the manual mode for the six-speed automatic, and so on) can be viewed at any given time. interior trim is mixed in quality but pleasingly designed, with padded materials covering the curvaceous dash top and door panels, but less impressive hard plastic most everywhere else. There are other materials as well, including generous swaths of silvery metallic or wood-grained plastic trim, made more attractive by chrome details in many well-placed locations. We would like to say that these materials are up to snuff compared with toyota, honda and even hyundai, but in truth, they're not quite there. However, the panel fit is tight and among the best we've seen on an american product. all controls, buttons and knobs feel upscale in their operation. Controls for the standard, six-sp.
