2007 Saturn Aura XR 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I drove many different cars including the Altima and Camry to compare the noise and smoothness of ride. The Camry sport took the corners the easiest, but the Aura rode the smoothest. All in all these three cars handled almost the same so my decision came down to looks and interior. The Aura has by far the nicest dashboard setup and I love the 18 inch wheels. Car is a major head turner, and people are just drawn to the car while walking in parking lots.

Favorite Features

Interior setup, 18 inch wheels, and chrome strip down the side of car as well around the windows add a nice touch and really stand out on the black paint. Also love the look of the blinkers on the side of the car. Minor things, but really add to the car.

Suggested Improvements

Haven't found anything yet, am very very happy with purchase!

Review

Purchased my Aura in February and so far I'm very satisfied. Great styling and performance. Many people have remarked on the great looks and are surprised when they discover it's a Saturn. A geat amount of equipment at an affordable price. I think Saturn and GM have a definite winner.

Favorite Features

Quiet cabin, styling both inside and out, and powerful engine with good fuel economy.

Review

When we take our Saturn out on the road people just take second look and admire it. I like to put my foot down on throttle and feel the torque that the engine produces. It is fun to drive and now you’r e safe inside with side and front air bags. I think Saturn needs to advertise more about this wonderful car. Now I do by word of mouth

Favorite Features

This car has class. But most of all its 100,000 mile warranty. ur Our XR handles very well.

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I looked at most of the competitor’s products over a 1 month period and kept coming back to the Aura. I wanted the XR but ended up choosing the XE. I got the XE fully loaded and it’s essentially the XR with a very few exceptions. I couldn't justify the extra $4K for 28 more HP and a 6 speed auto transmission. The XE performs very well in all areas. The build quality is excellent, the styling is eye catching, and the drive is wonderful. I'm back in a domestic automobile for the first time in over 10 years. If this is any indication of where GM is heading then it's a good sign. Think most fellow import buyers will feel the same if they give it a chance.

Favorite Features

Styling is great. Looks good from every angle.

Suggested Improvements

Interior is good, but a bit bland for my taste.

Review

Silver with black leather interior looks sharp and classy. My XR looks like an Audi A6 with just a hint of Lexus. The car is tight, very quick, and has so many nice touches.

Favorite Features

18" wheels, paddle shifters, Euro styling.

Suggested Improvements

It's minor but I would swap the locations of the fog lamp button and throttle/break pedal adjustment switch.

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I've had my Aura XE for two months now and I love it just as much today as the day I drove off the dealer parking lot. The ride is smooth and quiet and it has great pickup. The leather seats are the most comfortable I have ever had in a car. I looked at the comparable midsize cars, but with all features the same, none of them could touch the affordability of the Aura.

Favorite Features

I love my sunroof! The Aura also has a good sounding radio and the OnStar is a huge plus. The car handles really well on the interstate and around town.

Suggested Improvements

The gas mileage isn't all that I had hoped it would be, but it's not terrible. I also wish there was a way to close the trunk without my fingerprints getting all over the shiny chrome at the base of the trunk lid.

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I recently traded in my 2004 gas guzzling Chevy Silverado for the much acclaimed Saturn Aura. I kept reading glowing reviews about the Aura and decided to take one for a drive. I was extremely impressed. Visually the car is stunning. For my taste it is much more attractive than the Camry, Accord, or even some luxury models like Volvo.

Favorite Features

Exterior styling, leather seats, upgraded wheels, and OnStar system.

Suggested Improvements

Nothing major so far

Review

My new Aura has received many compliments and is a pleasure to drive. I love the fact the new aura looks like a more expensive car and it draws a few stares from other car owners.

Favorite Features

i love the stereo and the controls on the steering wheel. OnStar and hands free phone also a big plus. Very comfortable driver's seat and dash layout and all controls are very good.

Suggested Improvements

Fuel economy with 3.5 liter is ok but not great, but in range of what is expected for this engine so far.

Aura Hits A Homerun

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

I now have 10,400 miles on my car and it has been a reliable joy to drive. I get 30.7 mpg at 80 mph on my work trips to Orlando. The car is quiet and tight. The upgraded sound system is as smooth as the outstanding handling is. A year ago I might have laughed at an American car company competing against the Japanese on television but this car competes with them and the Audis and Volvos. For $22,000, I got a car that saved me $10000 in comparison to German cars and gets noticed on the road. Thanks America for building a car that I am happy to drive.

Favorite Features

Exterior and interior looks. Good acceleration with great mileage. Very good handling.

Suggested Improvements

Rear seat armrest

Fun and comfortable

2007 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Black with brown leather looks sharp. 18" machined wheels and low profile tires make it look like a European sport sedan, with a hint of true American muscle. Handling is superb - suspension is stiff, yet very comfortable (feels like a 5 series beemer). XE's engine provides plenty of power for a family car driver, who does not mind get around slower traffic on the highway. Much better value than Camry or Accord, and a whole lot more fun. First 500 miles I am averaging ~30 MPG on the highway and ~25 MPG in mixed 70% highway/30% city driving. Overall, one great car.

Favorite Features

18" wheels, respectable engine power even in XE, brown leather, overall style

Suggested Improvements

Trunk lid could use a handle for closing. Fully equped XE not quite available, little things only
