ION 1 base model was dropped from the lineup, new wheels added a striking new exterior appearance and the ION 3 was available with a new Enhanced Performance Options package that included a 2.4 liter engine that delivered 170 horsepower and a sport tuned suspension.

Recent improvements have substantially improved the overall quality and driving experience associated with the Saturn ION sedan, though the seats are still rather uncomfortable and offer little support. However, the five years/100,000 miles powertrain warranty that was made available as of the 2007 model year ups the anty a bit and the ION is impressive enough, especially in handling sharp curves, and still affordable enough for younger drivers.
