Saturn Ion Sedan or Quad Coupe

Hey all,

I'm in the market for a new vehicle. I want something inexpensive, that gets decent gas mileage and has four doors. I have been looking at the Saturn Ion both the sedan and the quad coupe but I have not heard much about these two cars. Any Ion owners out there? Anyone hear and good or bad news about them?

I am also taking suggestions on other vehicles. My choices are open but I have some restrictions

It must be American either GM or Ford (sorry no Damnnear-Chryslers for me) I also get GM and Ford Employee Discounts so it helps out with the price.

Must be a sedan or have good access to the back seat (like the quad coupe). I have a son in a car seat and getting that into the backseat of a car with only 2 doors is a pain in the arse.

Must have legroom up front.... I am not really tall at 5-10 but I like my legroom.

I drive almost 60 miles a day round trip so gas mileage is important. The sticker on the Ion Sedan says it gets 32 highway miles, which seems pretty good.

Price is pretty important I am looking for a lower priced vehicle. On another note anyone Drive one of these new Chevy Aveo's? I've been seeing the 4 door hatchback like one on the road it looks pretty nice but again havent heard much about them. Kinda looks like Ford Focus Competition to me.

Thanks for any replies.
