The Aura is Awesome

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

Review

I just purchased a beautiful Midnight Blue Saturn XR Aura with Morrocan Brown/black interior. This Aura is simply incredible in all aspects for the money. The ride is great and very quiet. Even surpassing the Amanti. It has a fabulous sports car feel with all of the comforts of the expensive luxury models. I stronly urge anyone looking for a fabulous car for just under $30,000 to race to their Saturn dealer and give the Saturn a try. You'll be just like me and many others, you'll have found a new love! It is great to finally be back in a wonderful American Car.

Favorite Features

Leather interior, fast peppy engine, 6 way transmission and manuel paddles. The absolutely fantastic styling and comfort. Rear audio controls, sunroof, ambient lightingf and XM radio and OnStar. 60/40 folddown rear seats.

Suggested Improvements

A key lock for trunk with a closure. Perhaps a sunglass compartment. A padded dash and padded door trims. A key lock for glove box.

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

Review

Because I average around 30,000 miles per year it was important to me that I got at least what the sticker said I would get on highway miles per gallon. For the first 2000 miles I have driven the car, I have averaged 30-32 miles per gallon on highway at 65-72 mph, around 1700 RPM'S. (sticker said 30 MPG Highway). Comfortable ride, handles well around curves.

Favorite Features

OnStar turn by turn directions, XM radio, adjustable pedals for shorter drivers.

Suggested Improvements

Inside door panel seems to give when pulling door closed, gives a suggestion of cheap. Needs arm rest for rear seat. Needs electic overdrive and at least a 6 speed transmisson. I believe a better transmission would increase city mileage. My average city mileage is 20- 22

Review

This is a very nice car. I have had it for 3 weeks and just love driving it. I get all kinds of questions about it when I get out. Very fast, excellent interior layout and comfortable seats. A friend with a G35 says if she had seen the Saturn she would have saved $7 grand and bought it instead.

Favorite Features

Engine, interior, remote start.

Suggested Improvements

Handle for closing trunk.

An Import Beater

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

Review

Once you get over the fact that the Saturn Aura XR is not your typical "panache" import (i.e. Audi, BMW, Acura or Infiniti), then you will be pleasantly surprised by the performance, appearance, features and reliability of the Aura XR. This is GM's best shot at the imports. The car is very comfortable and enjoyable to drive, is loaded with amenities and actually shares the same quality "feel" as my previous Audis and Bimmers. This is a great car for the money.

Favorite Features

German handling feel, exterior appearance, panoramic roof, overall performance

Suggested Improvements

Saturn could turn this into a home-run by upgrading parts of the interior, including upgrading the door panels and adding rear-seat arm rest. Another logical addition would be Bluetooth compatibility.

Review

So far, this has been a wonderful car. It is our 4th Saturn since 1997 and is the best so far. Ride is suprisingly quiet and smooth. Handling is "sporty" and with the longer wheel base takes the bumps in the road with little notice of the passengers. Workmanship is typical Saturn quality (this is a positive statement)and the only issue was OnStar didn't work out of the showroom but was resolved within a week of purchase. All in all, its Saturn's best to date and it turns heads (we purchased black on black leather). My wife and I argue over who will drive it, she wins during the week and I get it on the weekends.

Favorite Features

Interior is quiet, guages and instruments are easily viewed and once you know what they are all for, easy to use.

What a Great Car

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

Review

What a great car! I purchased a 2006 Nissan Altima in December of 2006 then saw the Aura. It was head and shoulders above my Altima and better than the '07 Altima. The Nissan went good-bye immediately. My Aura is smooth, quiet, and roomy. The styling stands out, even earning a "Cool" from my teen-age son. The build quality is better than the Nissan's I looked at as well as Camry, Accord, and Passat, something I'm reading in all the reviews I've seen as well. Saturn has a winner in the Aura. I feel like I'm driving a much more expensive car than what I paid for (base with no options for $20,000). Anyone looking for a classy mid-size sedan? Aura is the real deal!

Favorite Features

The ambient interior lighting is a great touch. My favorite feature is just the overall styling. This car is simply a total package.

Suggested Improvements

None!

Review

I purchased the Saturn Aura XE. It had eight miles on it when I drove it off the lot. I was amazed and so happy that I had made this decision. The smooth ride, the classy interior and exterior and the economical gas mileage that this car has now given me is awesome. I've now got 1500 miles on it and wouldn't hestitate to tell anyone to go for it. Saturn Auras are the answer to your high priced Camrys, classy VW's, and yes, even have been told it looks like a MINI 300 M. Absolutley incredible. Wish I could find someone that has bought one in the Albany area in which I live, so we could e-mail one another and compare notes! All I can say is in three years I will be trading it in for a new Aura!

Favorite Features

Heated leather seats. Electric sunroof. CD player with incredible sound. A four door is great

Suggested Improvements

None to mention

Style, Comfort, and Fun to Drive.

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

Review

This is not the typical Saturn. The handling is superb, the ride is a little bumpy with the sports package suspension. Wind and road noise is at a minimum. The four way stability track with four wheel anti-lock disc brakes makes a difference on slippery roads. With the adjustable pedals and 8-way adjustable power seats makes for finding the comfortable position easy. Just wish it had a memory setting on the drivers seat for multiple drivers. For fun you can put the car into manual and shift thru the six gears via the paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. If you are looking for a midsized 4-door sedan, do yourself a favor and test drive this car. Good to have choices!

Favorite Features

Adjustable pedals. Seat warmers, remote start. Comfort. MP3/CD stereo. Garage door opener

Suggested Improvements

Wind noise when sunroof open.Glove box not lockable. Trunk is keyless.

The Future of GM

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

Review

Outstanding car. Has all the safety features I wanted, it drives great and is very comfortable. Nothing in its price range can compare. It is very often mistaken for imports or cars costing much more. The hard part may be getting shoppers into the showroom, but the car will sell itself if shoppers take a look and a test drive. This car should change many people's perception of GM.

Favorite Features

Great style, lots of standard safety features, very enjoyable to drive. Strong and quiet acceleration, flat and stable handling.

Suggested Improvements

Memory for the seats and mirrors.

Former CTS owner.

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

Review

Thought I would never get anything but another CTS when my lease ran out, not so. Checked out the Camry,Fusion, Mazda6 and the Passat, the Aura XE had just about everything we wanted. We had to go with the XE due to the need for a lower payment. The XR would destroy all other rivals in almost all comparisons including the CTS. What a nice sedan at a great price. Quick and responsive with a real nice ride.

Favorite Features

We got the leather interior with the heated seats and the convenience package with the remote start. These are a must if you get the XE. XM radio is stunning. Trunk size is huge. The black color is really black, not pearl or some mixture of black. $24K with all the goodies and a sunroof is sweet.

Suggested Improvements

Would like to have seen Stabilitrak standard in both the XE and XR. Why should an important safety feature be and option. Can't understand why there is no rear seat arm rest? I am personally not a fan of the motorcycle type dashboard gauges. There are no handles above the passenger seats.
