Which car for first car saturn sc2 or saturn ion?

Hey guys, im looking into getting my first car and i hear saturn makes really good first cars since they are pretty cheap but they are reliable and last a long time.

So i am COMPLETELY stuck between two cars, the 2002 saturn sc2 and the 2004-06 saturn ion.
the sc2 is a little bit older but i look the looks of it, however the interior is very primative. the saturn ion apparently is a tad bit less reliable but the looks are just as good and the interior is wayy updated from the sc2. I will provide links and you tell me which car you like the looks of better.
Thank you So much.

Your links aren't working. But I'd go for the ION, the ION is newer and more reliable. I have a friend who owns a 2003 Saturn SC2 and the car shuts off every time she puts it into reverse. It hasn't been the most reliable car. I think her SC2 is a 2003 I'm not too sure.

The ION is cool, get the coupe.

Saturn is very economical, they get excellent gas mileage and they are at a reasonable price. The reliability isn't so good but it's not bad either. Overall, the Saturn is a very good first car.
