Is the 2007 Saturn Ion reliable?
Although affordable and reliable, the 2007 Saturn Ion can’t approach the class leaders in terms of overall refinement, comfort and handling.
What kind of engine does a Saturn Ion have?
The Saturn Ion Redline was a coupe with mini suicide rear doors and powered by a factory-supercharged 2.0-liter DOHC LSJ inline four, the engine later used in the Chevy Cobalt SS. Stock, the Ion Redline made 236 horsepower and 218 lb-ft of torque.
When did the Saturn Ion Redline come out?
This particular Redline was one of 227 produced in 2007 with the GM “Competition Package” that came with a limited-slip differential, lip-service wheels and springs, and a pat-on-the-back boost gauge on the steering column with dual LED shift-light prompts, which lit up on either side of the gauge like runway landing lights.
Where is the ignition switch on a Saturn?
The problem was due to the original ignition switch which is a $50 part from Saturn. The ignition switch is located on the back end of the ignition lock. The ignition switch sends a code that is generated in the ignition lock to the body control module (BCM). It is a part of the Passlock2 system on the 2004 Saturn.
What’s the stock boost on a Saturn Redline?
Stock boost on an Ion Redline is 12.5 lbs from the GM LSJ SC motor. The Ion I drove was making a limited 8 psi in first gear (which still spun the wheels too easily), and a preposterous 16 psi in second gear on up. This sounds like a great car to have fun in all the way to school and back.

How old is my 2007 Saturn Ion Car?
It is 10 years old with 250,000 miles and still going strong. I bought that car young and did not keep up with the maintenance, it has been side swiped, caught on fire and driven cross country twice. Yet, it still lives! I have never put more than a thousand dollars in to it for parts. So of course I bought another one.
