Replacing side mirror on Aura

Written by: expwyman on Jul 13, 2009 06:21 PM

Does the Saturn Aura (2009) have the wiring harness for the side view mirror so a non-heated side mirror can be replaced with a heated side mirror? Or are they different harnesses? Anyone know? Read More...

I said the Camry is better than the Accord not just based on CR reports but on lots of other things-- comfort,ride,noise,smooth including reliability. Funny thing is CR does not share your view on the ranking of the Camry with regard to other factors. In their most recent ranking (Jan 2009), Camry is in a 6th place tie with Sonata amongst sedans priced at $20-25,000, ... Read More...

"Actually all car makes increase the prices over the year not just at the beginning of the model year. Makes some sense since cost go up during the year not just once a year". Yes, it is true that most auto makers do this during the year. What I have seen over the years is what amounts to an "introductory price" on first release autos, and in just a few weeks to a month or ... Read More...

GM has done this traditionally on new model year cars delivered to dealers. After a few weeks or up to a month or so, the base price creeps up sometimes. I think this is a marketing thing so that when rebates kick in later in the year, GM is really not taking as big of a hit on prices as it would seem. Actually all car makes increase the prices over the year not just at the ... Read More...

2009 Saturn Aura - - - A Real Bargain at this time!

Written by: alero02 on Oct 26, 2008 01:40 PM

We just purchased an '09 Saturn Aura XR-4 and found out some interesting details in the process. We got the XR-4 with the 6 speed automatic transmission which is standard for the best fuel economy. I was just checking the Saturn web site to check out some of the listed features on our car. To my surprise the base price of $23,450 on our car sticker is $1,755 less that ... Read More...

Written by: stephen987 on Sep 13, 2008 01:23 PM

Five or ten years ago that would've been easy (Honda, Toyota, then a long steep dropoff). Now it's not--cars like the Fusion and Sonata are much better than their precursors of a few years ago. I haven't driven the latest versions of some of these cars, but there seems to be a consensus with regard to the following points: 1. Honda and Toyota no longer have a monopoly ... Read More...

From what I have read on the internet, the new rating for the 6 speed automatic 4 cylinder engine will be 22/33. Currently it's 22/30. I really believe 6 speed automatics should be standard on midsize sedans. The gas mileage is better and overall drive is better. Saturn is moving in the right direction by making 6 speed automatic standard in the Saturn Aura. Read More...
