Saturn Ion vs Honda Civic

West · #1 08-17-2005, 04:16 PM

Thanks to those who offered advice to me regarding financing.

I'm probably going to be talking to dealers about a Honda Civic, but have also heard about the comparable Saturn Ion 1. Sounds like more people would prefer the Civic, but it's *possible* I may be able to get a significantly better financing deal on the Saturn.

Any opinions on the Ion 1 and how it compares to a Civic VP?

Gotta agree. Do not buy GM.

The Honda will last approximately forever and will give you nearly zero problems. The Saturn might not. Pretty simple, no?

Ok, thanks, sounds like the Civic is the way to go.

I have 2 Saturns. A 1998 SC2 with 150,000 miles on it and a 2001 SL2 with 104,000 miles on it.

I've never had a problem with either car. They are the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

A lot of people in this forum swear by Japanese cars, but I don't care for them. Saturn has done me right.

The Saturn Ion handles like a bus and guzzles gas and has no power.
