Perfect car except mileage

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

Review

One word: awesome. I put every option on. And the most I like is the brown leather seat. The is always power left no matter how hard you stepped on the gas. All my friends would like to take my car pool is possible. The only problem is that I never got my mileage under 11L/100KM. But with 252hp, what can you ask for. Also there are too much features which I have to try out.

Favorite Features

Brown leather seat, safety feature, power, style, radio, and a lot.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the mileage.

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

Review

This is an outstanding vehicle for the money if you are interested in a 4 door sedan. Of all the cars that I have owned, this is my favorite. I really like the treatment I receive by the dealer, and OnStar is a must. This car has been completely trouble- free so far. My only complaint would be the low roof line which requires you to duck as you enter the front seats or you will bump your head.

Favorite Features

OnStar, engine-transmission, interior treatment, entertainment system, handling, traction control and stability control, heated seats and comfortable leather seating, good leg- room

Suggested Improvements

Roof line a little higher so that you don't have to duck to enter the front seat area.

Review

After researching and researching on which car I wanted, I chose the AURA. I was going to wait and get the Astra but it was just too good of a deal to pass up on the AURA. I have over 2000 miles so far and no problems. I drive mostly highway but I can average 26-29 mpg!

Favorite Features

Cruise control, XM radio, OnStar

Suggested Improvements

Cannot think of any right now

Is this a Saturn?

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

Review

The people at Saturn got it totally right this time. I bought the XR model with Morrocan tan leather. It is very beauitful. Even some Lexsus owner friends of mine are jelous about the OnStar phone and service. This car has great get up and go and rides very smoothly. The manual to auto transmission shift is very cool. I am not sure but the gas mileage could be a little better. There are also a few appointments on the inside that could have been done just a bit better but for the price point, this car is an amazing value and a joy to drive.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seating. Smooth and powerful ride. OnStar service/phone. Stereo/mp3 player, leather seating, sun/moon roof, remote start, auto to manual tranny shift.

Suggested Improvements

Backseat stereo system should have a dvd/ mp3 input. Gas mileage could be a little better. Some of the interior parts have cheaper feel to them than others, the drink holder, the arm rest storage compartment and the door mouldings feel very flimsy. My moonroof has a slit on the inside rubber gasket.

Not great

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

Review

This car, an Aura XR, is provided by my company so this is an unbiased review. The car is "nice" but devoid of personality. On the highway, a lot of road noise finds it way into the cabin, and around town a lot of engine noise and vibration can be heard and felt. Handling is ok, but no better then a lot of cheaper subcompacts and most mid sized sedans. After playing with the seat, steering and pedal position controls I have found that it is not possible to find a comfortable driving position. I cannot drive the car more then 30 minutes without my entire body aching. Fuel economy is nowhere near what I expect, I have a 2006 Vue which has more power and gets 2-4 more mpg.

Favorite Features

None

Suggested Improvements

- Seat and pedal position memory. - Better fuel economy - A deeper trunk - Smoother engine - Better sound system, the upgrade stereo has a muddy sound and poor high frequency response - More power, I don't believe the HP rating - A least one larger cup holder - Better handling

3000 miles on it so far

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

Review

Beautiful car to look at and fun to drive. The 6 speed trans is nice but shifts up and down trying to find the right gear often. Car does wonderful on the highway with lots of power to pass and take on the hills. Car has lots of room in cabin and trunk. Gas milage is not as good as advertised. Visibility is difficult at times, see below. Cup holders seem small, like they're for kids cups.

Favorite Features

Powerful engine, great looks, large trunk space, easy to use controls, heated seats, leather steering wheel is very comfortable to hold onto, panaromic sunroof is a focal point to everyone that gets in

Suggested Improvements

Improve visibility (the front pillars are very wide and hide oncoming traffic when pulling out from an intersection), better gas mileage, shifts a lot, trunk should come up farther when released

Excellent Value

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

Review

In the mid-size sedan class I was torn I have owned a Honda Accord and a Toyota Camry. After driving the Saturn Aura and experiencing to "Saturn Sales Experience", I knew that I was set to purchase the Aura! The five star safety rating was important to me in making my decision as was the trim level for the price. My car is equipped with leather, a sunroof, remote vehicle start and six air bags. A comparable Luxury brand would have cost me a lot more money. I have the 3.6 liter V6 which makes me feels like I'm driving a Cadillac or Corvette!

Favorite Features

I like the XM radio

Suggested Improvements

The engineers should have integrated a "blue tooth system" into the car, but I understand the partnership with Verizon and Onstar.

Unbeatable Value

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

Review

An absolutely terrific car. I love it more every day. Wise move to put the Honda & Camry on the lot, as Aura has absolutely nothing to hide. For what you are paying this car is awesome.

Favorite Features

I like the sliding armrest.

Suggested Improvements

Key to trunk, drive Indicator on dashboard.

My Saturn

Review

I love my Aura! I have alot of friends who can't believe it's a Saturn! Comfortable and quiet, a pleasure to drive! I recommend it!

Favorite Features

The "creature comforts" that are standard make life much easier! The Driver info screen, automatic on and off lights, the sterring wheel mounted cruise and audio controls are also standard! Dosen't look or feel like a base model.

Suggested Improvements

The fuel economy could be a little better. Other than that don't change a thing!

Saturn Aura XR

Written by: T. Wendel on 08/14/2007

Vehicle

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

Review

The car is incredibly quick considering it weighs in at 3700 pounds. Handling is superb as is braking. Transmission shifts so smoothly (perhaps the computer is smarter than old technology) and the ride is incredibly quiet, probably due to the sheet metal and the construction of the windshield. Interior is finished so very well although the rough plastic might leave something to be desires. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds down for extra space. The ride is firm, perhaps firmer than many would expect given the car's size and weight. The radio is great and the satellite stations really enhance the selection and the sound. A beautiful car with so many standard features included.

Favorite Features

Engine performance is great (if it can be chipped, the horsepower can be rasied to 270; let's not forge that this is a Cadillac engine); braking, handling and appearance are superb. Many think this is a European car. I look forward to the heated leather seats in winter. The AC is fabulous.

Suggested Improvements

The installation of an under hood light would be great. Something other than the rough plastic finish on the inside of the doors would enhance the car.
