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

Review

Have owned my Aura for a year now and I still get excited to drive it. Looks and performs like cars costing twice as much. Great handling and powerful acceleration and people still say "That's a Saturn?"

Favorite Features

Great styling, comfy leather seats, OnStar, interior lighting. Powerful

Suggested Improvements

Mileage could be a little better 20/26

Review

The car was originally a return from rental, so it was broken in when I bought it. But I love this car. Driving it is like an F-16 on wheels and just as sleek. Some people think I paid 50-60K and stare in disbeleif when I tell what I got for 22K. (Including tire/wheel warranty, bumper to bumper extended warranty and 3rd party remote- which the Saturn warranty covers) The in-town mileage is low but the highway mileage is outstanding. I typically get 35-40 MPG (at around 60) Kia & Hyundai eat your collective hearts out. Because of the high safety rating, insurance cost is very low. But why doen't GM advertise it more?

Favorite Features

From the projector beam headlights to the LED taillights. Crash rating all around. Driver info computer. Driver seat power adjust. Lots of multiple storage: 2 level console/large trunk. Comfort (Disabled father isn't comfortable anywhere, loves it) Stereo. Euro design, climate/stereo controls

Suggested Improvements

The hazard flashers/closing the drivers door need a long reach. No secure mounting/holding for MP3 player, since there is a line-in jack. Gas cap cover inside release like the SL. A ventilation filter like the Ion. Only door lock is on the drivers door. The traction control on the console riser

Review

Great car. Quiet, responsive, reliable. Only problmes have occurred with key fob not working at all or not working properly -- have had to take car in four times concerning the problem. Problem ended up being with electrical equipment inside car, rather than faulty key fob. Seems to be an aberation -- techs at dealership not familiar with any other Auras reportig this problem (lucky me). Would highly recommend car to others.

Favorite Features

Look, power, design of interior, quiet and comfortable ride.

Suggested Improvements

Remote start needs to activate heated seats. Arm rest console needs padding. Place needed to hold/set mp3 player -- there is a port on front of stereo console, but no place to set mp3 w/o it sliding around. Backseat rubber cup holder comes out too easily.

Review

The driver seat is uncomfortable for me at the lower level. It need to be improved for 5'3" and below and the gas pad need to be a little closer because I feel like I'm on top of the steering wheel which is not good if in an accident. Getting out is a problem unless you want to adjust the seat everytime. The seat has caused back problem for and I have always had bucket seats but the seat isn't back friendly. The doors swing out too far but I understand this is for long legs and short legs just have to adjust. The armrest need to be longer for short arms. Even with it extending it is not comfortable. Blind spots in mirrors.

Favorite Features

I love the cruise control and the pick up power when needed

Suggested Improvements

Seat on drivers side for 5'3" and below, arm rest extention needs to be longer, lumbar need to be better in standard seat. Interior scratches to easily.

Review

I love my wife's car! This is best car I have driven in years and I am super jealous and want one for me. We got the bronze with black interior + woodtrim package. We get rave reviews from eveyone who sees and are consistently asked what kind of luxury car is it?

Favorite Features

Autostart, power, interior, exterior look.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage, navigation, turn radius, DVD entertainment system, more cup holders, mp3-CD support.

Review

After seeing the 2007 Aura won the "North American Car of the Year" award I thought "How can I go wrong". I traded in my 2003 Chevy Impala and in a year have had the car in for service 5 times. The second day I had the car I ended up having it towed into the service center because the transmission was missing and speedometor was bouncing around. Ended up being a speed sensor switch had to be replaced.

Favorite Features

Outside looks. Heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

Replace the frame around the gear shift to something other than bright mirrored chrome. Bigger trunk.

Review

This is my third Saturn in over 10 years, and while I love the product, I am kind of disappointed in this car. I was told the MPG was better than it has been (lucky if I get 19 mpg both street/hwy) and have had little things going wrong on it from day one. The OnStar was leaking water in when I washed the car, the stereo jammed CDs in it, now the AM doesn't work and the OnStar is cutting out during phone calls. The front bushings are squeaking on turns and bouncing. It has a lag when getting on the freeway, seems to take a few hiccups to get up to speed.

Favorite Features

I love the interior leather, the sun roof and very good air conditioning system. The stereo is nice when it works, the OnStar the same. Seats are comfortable for us short people, has a sleek look, digital display with messages regarding oil, temperature, gas, etc..helpful.

Suggested Improvements

Get the kinks out of the OnStar system, check out the drivability.

Review

Watch out imports, this tops any other car I have driven in my life, General Motors got this one correct. Platform is excellent; styling is what eludes people to the car. Only downfall is that people do not realize that it is a Saturn.

Favorite Features

The night time driving feel, it has a perfect blend of illumination in the interior. Also very roomy.

Suggested Improvements

Get the word out - that GM has car correct

Piece of junk

Review

I bought this vehicle due to Consumer Reports 2007 article. However,they are completely wrong about this car! I bought this vehicle in November of 2007, and not one week later, the car had to be brought back in for work. One month later, the same thing. They had to replace the paneling inside, replace the heater coil, and try to figure out why when I had my cruise control on, it would go from 70 to 78 going up hills. However, as I was told, it is stated on the Saturn description that this is normal. Really? I figure it is because they have no idea why the cruise control was not working.The next thing is the MPG. What a joke!!! I average, with going normal speed, 60-65, maybe around 21-22

Favorite Features

The look, but that is it.

Suggested Improvements

Very cheap material inside. Maybe they should actually make the car with equipment that works.
