Replying to: stan_top_down (Nov 06, 2005 6:45 am) In the first 587.4 miles I averaged 27.3 miles per gallon. This was mostly suburban driving. I did have my foot in it quite a bit after I hit the 500 mile mark. Replies to this message: stan_top_down (Nov 07, 2005 5:05 am)

Replying to: cdavidhess (Nov 06, 2005 8:29 pm) I don't doubt that you did - I would, too. I realized last evening just how enemic my 1992 Geo Metro convertible is - I'd been driving my wife's '02 Taurus (12 valve) all week - I got in the Metro last night, and I wondered where all the power went. I still prefer the Metro, though, especially on a warm, sunny day!   Please keep us posted as you get more data - the 27.3 sounds very good.   Drive the Ion for many miles in good health.

Replying to: cntrygurl (Nov 11, 2005 7:26 am) Try to go on a consumer law website and find out about your particular state's laws. You don't necessarily need a lawyer, but there are some hoops you have to jumpt through. Since each state's laws differ, it's hard to give generic advice.

Replying to: cntrygurl (Nov 11, 2005 7:26 am) Do an internet search for your state government consumer affairs office. Also do a search for lemon law and your state.   A friend of mine bought an '04 Ford F150 when they first came out and after one year, 48 days out of service and a total of 11 repair attempts, he decided to file for lemon law protection. I did the research for him and wrote the letters to Ford. I took about six weeks, but he got a new '05 model identical to his '04 and only paid about $700 for the 16k miles on the '04.   FYI- it helps to firm, but not nasty when dealing with the manufacturer. Af first Ford didn't want to do an exchange, but I mentioned that I'd call the local new stations if they didn't work with me. Ford (or Saturn) doesn't need any bad publicity right now.   Good luck.
#3320 of 3384 Does anyone know... by zombo Dec 10, 2005 (11:21 am)
if the 2.4 liter dual overhead cam engine in the Ion making 170 horsepower at 6200 rpm is made by Toyota? It's very similar to the 2.4 liter dual overhead cam engine in the Scion TC which makes 160 horsepower and has similar torque figures to the engine in the Ion.And GM does have a partnership with Toyota.

#3321 of 3384 if it's any consolation.. by kurtamaxxxguy Dec 11, 2005 (2:57 pm)
The Cobalt variant of the Delta body has much worse reliability than the ION does. First year cars always have a lot of problems, no matter who makes them.

The 2.4L engine is a high output variant of the Ecotec engine. The Ecotec engine has many variants, and is both supercharged and turbocharged depending on what car it is used in.

Replying to: zombo (Dec 10, 2005 11:21 am) no its not, its a 2.4 liter ecotec GM engine.
#3324 of 3384 ION 2 vs ION 3 Handling by alan34 Jan 08, 2006 (8:42 am)
I plan to order an ION 5 speed Quad Coupe with air/ power pkg and sunroof. As the car is for my son and I to drive (I also have a Chevy Impala for my wife) I was wondering if the extra cost of the "3" is worth it as the car will primarily be in the city only. Does any one find the handling that much better with the "3" over the "2". Do the 16 inch tires really improve the car over the standard 15 inch ones.   Thks!!!
