If you had to buy a Saturn Ion – and I would question why anyone would even consider it – I suppose the 2005 could be considered the best of a bad bunch? I mean, GM did finally get rid of that awful VTi transmission, and both the power steering problems and ignition switch defect that plagued owners were recalled. The problem is they waited 10 years to recall the ignition and let over 30,000 warranty claims get filed before they bothered to fix the power steering. So you kind of have to wonder, is GM making these fixes to keep owners safe or just to keep government lawyers from taking all their money? You be the judge.
Owned vehicle less than 2 months (Purchased 5/2005, problem happened 7/2005). While rolling window manually, heard a pop, and the window dropped completely into the door. Thankfully, a) it was summer and b) it was warranty covered. Claimed "they've never seen that before" - a claim heard all too often at Saturn repair shops.
