[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 471842, member: 6705"] If you are looking at an Ion... That's what I have. I love my car. Mine is the 2-door with half-doors in the back, aka "suicide doors" that open backwards. Makes it SUPER easy to get kids in and out. I average 28-30 mpg. Couple weeks ago, I was doing a lot of highway driving, to and from my parents' to take care of their cats. 34.9 mpg. I can fit $400 worth of generic groceries in the trunk. I adore the dash panel in the center, as I'm short... So I can see over it. Also, this enables a smaller steering wheel, which is more comfortable for me. Mine's a 2004; about 76000 miles. I [B]had[/B] to have: ABS, sunroof and a stick shift. I also got: a 6-disc mp3/CD changer. Now for the bad parts. I have a shimmy that's either ruined a pair of tires or was caused by a bad set of tires. At 56 mph, with the sunroof open, things get LOUD. Fortunately, the freeway around here is 65 mph, and surface streets 45 or under. Usually. I had a fuse blow that knocked out the dash lights, open door alarm, and [I]taillights[/I]. I could live without the dingy and dash lights... Taillights are a safety issue. We tried to fix it for 2 months before we figured out about the taillights (but the brake & reverse lights worked fine). Took it to the (ahem) dealer, and it took them THREE HOURS to figure out it was a fuse. They only charged the 1-hr diagnostic fee, though. The sunroof drains have crud in them, and so right now, when it rains, the car leaks like a sieve. It creaks when it's cold. But... All in all, I love my babycar. [/QUOTE]
