Ion - dissapointing by
Mike
Checked out the new Ion's this week. The car was ok. They were not
especially striking or loaded with features for 15-18k. But, NONE of the
cars on the lot had anti-lock brakes. The salesman gave me some cock and
bull story about how the ion has 50% of the weight on the front and back so
you...

Greg
My daughter has a 95 SL2, auto that dies occasionally at stops. Jumpered
the ALDL and got SES code 32, which I understand points to the EGR - will
check it out this weekend. But, after flashing the SES 32, it flashed the
Coolant light code 84. I can't find any info on that code, or even...

should I keep it? by
Snuffy Smiff
It's a '96 SL2, white with tan, exceptional condition, 89,250 miles, needs
struts and motor mounts(I think-where's the cheapest place to buy 'em?),
tires are good but starting to dry rot. Interior is perfect, exterior has a
few paint gouges. Rear windows have issues and need something(?)...

XM Radio by
marx404
Supposedley I hear that Saturn (& GM) will be putting XM equipped radios in
all future models. (its an available option right now). Just my 2 cents on
XM, I think its the greatest thing since CD's. After selling many cars and
setting it up for customers, I was sold on it, bought one for myself. I...

Ding in windshield by
Oppie
Some April Fools joke, a car going the other way on a 2 lane highway kicked
up a stone which landed right in the middle of my sight line. Left a 3/4"
ding which hopefully can be repaired. At the recommendation of the garage
next door, I called 'windshield wizard' to look at it.
I tried on two other...

98 SC2 Starting/Stalling Problem Intermittent by
Gary
We have a 98 SC2 with about 70,000 miles.
Some days it will not start. It turns over fast, but not matter how long
you crank it it will not start. I do not smell any gas, like it is flooded.
Mostly it will not start when it is very cold. Like 10 degree winter night.
Next day it starts like there...

SC1 stalling/starting problems by
crowold
I've read a couple other postings with similar comments but I thought I
would get some opinions on my situation. My '97 SC1 seems to occasionally
have starting and idling problems. Most of the time (when it occurs) the
car has a bad shuddering when idling. when you accelerate there seems to
be...

S series front wheel bearings by
private
My wife has just emailed me about a noisy wheel bearing.
She reported whirring noise she described as persistent, related to
acceleration, deceleration, but not when idling. I assume she means the
noise continues at steady highway speed.but quiet when not in motion. I
have taught her to listen...

Mods for better gas mileage by
Old time radio fan
There's plenty of stuff to get more horsepower out there. What is
there to improve the gas mileage for an Ion or SL2? Do any real
products actually exist?
Related: Anybody try a gasoline preheater? I put a homemade one on a
'74 Mercury Capri and got better gas mileage. Why don't we see...

Flush Radiator - Opinions by
Richard
What is the general consensus on flushing a radiator using your garden hose?
First, I know that you can't dump the coolant itself, but is it okay if
residual coolant is washed out on the ground while flushing (I'm in MN BTW,
if anyone knows)?
Second, my mother's bf, who is kind of a blow-hard...

Struts by
Ben
Ok.. I have a question about struts.. I had the oil changed in my 96 SL2 and
the tech told that the struts where shot and needed to be replaced.. He said
that the rear ones were so bad that they were "Shredding my tires".. I
looked at the tires when I got home and I didn't see any signs of the...

Saturn vs Pontiac by
marx404
Just a fun topic: We have a few Pontiac Grand Ams and GP's on our lot, and
quite frankly I am impressed with them. There are many features that are
similar to the ION inside. I like the ION steering better though and had a
good laugh when I learned that the GT GrandAM V6 w/ "ram air" only puts...

Saw an ad for 159/mo for fully equipped ION2.(24months). What gives, is
