Well here we go again, Saturn number 3. Yesterday 0% financing came out and
I traded in the 'ol SC2 for a new '07 ION.3 2.2L in Midnight Blue color w/
grey interior and 16" alloys. Went with stick this time. I kinda suck at
stick, but practice makes perfect. There is a notable difference in the
steering and handling as some here have mentioned. Dont know yet what I'll
mod on it yet....but hooray! no more rattles or squeaks or leaks.

What I meant was there is a notable difference between the ION.2 steering
and handling.

Congratulations on the new Saturn.
OK, Different... Is the .3 better than the .2?  Both have electrically
assisted power steering (as opposed to hydraulic)?

ION.3 has a tighter tuned suspension and steering than ION.2. Both a re
electro-mechanical, just tuned differently. To me the 2 felt sloppy and
loose, the 3 feels tighter and more responsive. I drove both with the 16"
alloys so tires were the same, it's in the suspension and steering that are
different.
