This is a wonderful car if you are humble enough to drive it.
This car is clearly ahead of its time, a time which may not yet have come...
Here is a listing of the features:
- 35+ MPG, a fuel sipper.
- "Golf-cart handling", as made popular by the Mini, at a fraction of the cost.
- Dent-resistant doors. I don't know about you, but most people seem to have forgotten how much fun and how awesome these are.
- Plastic bumpers. This makes putting paint on bumpers seem like a pretty stupid idea.
- Special flat matte paint finish. I believe the hood is faded from the sun and salt, but it IS a really hot look right now.
- Two new tires. Each cost about $30-40, so cheap! (the other 2 are OK).
- Tune up last year, new belts and plugs! Preventative maintenance only, this reliable car has never let me down.
- Battery is less than 2 years old.
The bad:
- The E-brake (works) but the latch/button is missing, so it does not lock. It has been this way for years, no reason to fix.
- The ceiling started to droop so I ripped it out. I really like the look of the steel roof, it's a clean look.
- There are stains and rips and tears all over the interior of the car.
- I kept seat covers on the seats, which are now faded (and included with the sale). I'm sure with new seat covers it would be a like a brand new car.
- The paint is faded and scratched in various areas.
- The glass is good with the exception of one chip, which has been there for years and thus has not cracked or grown at all.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Recalled Saturn Ion facing separate federal safety probe
Fri, 21 Mar 2014General Motors may be staring down another recall campaign for one of its models already embroiled in its high-profile ignition recall. The 2003-2007 Saturn Ion is already among the 1.6-million vehicles being recalled for faulty ignition switches, and now new light is being shed on a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation over 2004-2007 models centering on a loss of power steering.
The government safety regulator has received 846 complaints about the problem and claims that GM has had 3,489 reports of failure. Of those cases, there have been 16 accidents and 2 injuries reported, according to Automotive News. While NHTSA has been conducting an investigation since September 2011, no recall has been issued yet.
The inquiry's length was brought to light by an organization called the National Legal and Policy Center that alleges GM and NHTSA have known about the problem but are delaying a recall. It has sent a letter to CEO Mary Barra asking "to recall Saturn Ions for the model years 2004 through 2007 without further delay." The letter in question is available in full on the group's website.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
