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

Review

I originally purchased an XE at the beginning of the month. I loved the car so much I wanted more. So, I used Saturn's exchange program and got the XR with leather seats. The XE is quiter and shifts smoother. The XR is quicker and sportier. I had cloth seats on the XE. The leather seats on the XR are much more comfortable. If you want a quiet, smooth, luxurious feel, the XE with leather seats is your car. If you want a sportier feel and the ultimate driving experience, go for the XR. I have owned at least a dozen cars. This car is by far the best car I've have owned for driving experience.

Favorite Features

I love the auto start with auto climate control. Being able to start the car in 100 plus degree temps and have the car cool down before I get in is tremendous. I am used to sweating 20 minutes before cooling off.

Suggested Improvements

Better reading lights for the rear passengers.

Go test drive this car

2007 Saturn Aura Green Line 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

We absolutely love this car. The drive and comfort level is top notch. Quiet, sleek, stylish, and quick to boot. Gas mileage is superb. The only real complaint is on the rear interior design. Very difficult to see out of, especially when backing up. Extreme caution is recommended. Past that, there is a little cubby hole door, just left of the driver, that already won't close when opened. Just hoping that's not going to be the norm with the interior convenience features. Would absolutely recommend this car. Saturn truly did a great job on performance, ride and comfort.

Favorite Features

The Hybrid system. The stabili-track system. Air bag system.

Suggested Improvements

Rear interior design. Really tough to see out of, especially when backing up. Would rate that aspect as dangerous.

New 2 week old Aura XR

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

Review

After turning in a 2004 Caddy this car is lots of fun. Very surprised so far. Gas mileage in town is not good! Highway was much better. Only problem, rear of XR should have rear seat armrest and also a AC duct for rear A/C to get to! Minor additions but great value to rear passengers. Sound system is great! Only interior part that looks cheap is the interior door panels, other than that great car for the money. Can't compare that to anything out there.

Favorite Features

Premium sound system. Handling is great with 18" low profile tires.

Suggested Improvements

Rear seat A/C duct for passengers. Rear seat armrest. Nicer interior door panels.

Review

Biggest problem incurred has been blind spot in all four corners and wind noise when windows open. Other than that, a fantastic car. Still haven't used paddle shifting though.

Favorite Features

Transmission, stereo equipment, steering.

Suggested Improvements

I can drive with windows shut but I can't drive properly with blind spots. Any possible improvement?

It's a bullet

Review

It's not a car, it's really a bullet, a rocket. I dont know, all I know is that it's very very quick car. Comfortable, well equipped in the interior, too much comfort for the driver and the passenger. The car is really great. If you feel it stiff on the bumpy roads, just check your psi, the tires might be more than 30 psi. Otherwise, the car is great. It has lots of safety features which help you get some discount from your insurance

Favorite Features

The tap-shift option and pedal adjustment

A Luxury Sports Sedan for Less

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

Review

I purchased the vehicle in January of 2007 based on its styling and fuel economy. I could not believe the features offered in the XR at the price offered. It's a Lexus or a Beemer, even looks like one but for much less. Also, the smoothness of the ride and the quietness as the car rolls along is unbelievable. GM, if you could make the XR a full hybrid, bye-bye Toyota.

Favorite Features

My favorites in the interior of the car are the Moroccan leather seats, both driver and passenger power seats, the ease of operating the controls located on the steering wheel, and the adjustable pedals. I'm 6'2 and weigh 200, the car fits me like a glove.

Suggested Improvements

The only request I'd have to improve the car is to put a pull-down armrest in the center seat for the rear passengers. That's it. The exterior refinements are superb.

An Excellent Value for the Money

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

Review

This was my first purchase of an American car. In the past, I avoided American vehicles because of quality concerns and lack of interior refinement. However, the Saturn Aura Concept immediately caught my attention when I saw it in 2005. I made a Black Onyx XE model my own in January 2007, and it continues to impress me several months later. It is easy to maintain, and I have had no reliablility issues at this point. The Aura offers a pleasant driving experience with very little wind or engine noise audible at normal highway speeds. The suspension is tuned well, giving a balanced yet sporty ride. Saturn succeeded in taking the Aura upscale. Most of my friends think it is a more expensive car!

Favorite Features

Fuel efficient V6, advanced audio package, convenience of OnStar, good handling

Suggested Improvements

Locking glove box, defrosters for outside mirrors, larger map pockets, standard alloy wheels

This is a great car! All of my friends think it is a much more expensive car and are shocked when I tell them it is a Saturn. It is loaded with features. I love the XM radio. I would highly recommend the car.

Favorite Features

Performance, XM radio, European looks, great bargain for the price,and OnStar system.

Suggested Improvements

Handle on the trunk. Seat memory, and more color options in XR version.

The car to own for 2007

Vehicle

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

Review

I have always been interested in Saturns, but finally I took the plunge and am blown away at how sweet this car is. Deluxe luxury, fantastic performance and a European high quality finish and fit make this by far the swankest auto that I have ever owned. I have been a die-hard VW fan for years, but between this and the Jetta, this presents way better value and quality for my money. Based on the Aura, we're definitely also replacing our next car with another Saturn product. These guys have turned their game on. Watch out competitors, Saturn is back in the game!

Favorite Features

Interior finish, leather. Exterior lines. Super highway performance, handing, and speed

Suggested Improvements

A larger wheel option would be nice, but afermarket does the job just fine as well for the customizers.

Review

Well folks I was thinking if I could just get my wife to try another bland midsize car she would give in and let me get the Jeep. So off to the Saturn dealership we go and pick out an XR for road test. My wife drives and after a couple of miles I see a smile..she says your turn to drive. We switch and I quickly realize just how great this car really is. I can tell you with complete honesty that the XR is without a doubt the complete package. If you're looking for a no compromise sedan this is it.

Favorite Features

Six speed transmission shifts like butter. Engine is real quick. Fit and finish is excellent. Sound system is great, and ride is tight and accurate. Very comfortable.

Suggested Improvements

At present I can only suggest that they perhaps beef up the brakes. Although they seemed fine to me during normal driving.
