Great car for the money
It was time to get out of my minivan phase and into a sedan. I spent way too much time checking out the Japanese cars and ended up with the Aura. You get a wide variety of features for the money that just wasn't available on the competitors (unless I wanted to pay thousands more). And the Aura's styling and comfort are first rate. The power in this car will stand up to anyone.
RECALL AND TRANS NIGHTMARE!
I purchased this car in 2007 and I thought it was a great car...but no. I had issues with with this car all the time. The dealership always made up excuses for all the problems instead of solving them. I paid it off in 2012 and two weeks later the transmission blew....Im a single mom and don't have $3800 to throw at a car I just paid off and couldn't afford to buy a new one. The dealership and GM made excuses for this LEMON instead of helping me. Then there had been recall after recall on this car yet they STILL wouldn't help me at all. It's now been 6 years and I'm still without a car. Basically my car is nothing but a lawn ornament! I feel like this company should have made it right by me but instead it was "not my problem" from both the dealer and GM. It's despicable what they have done to so many people but refuse to help people. While I understand the Saturn company went out of business...it was really a company that was an off shoot of GM. GM shame on you!

Go test drive this car
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.
Maroon Aura on black 18's
Excellent car very satisfied with this! I bought this car in 2011 havent any problems other than regular maintenance. Replaced replaced breaks & rotors 2 times on front on once in the rear, gone through 2 sets of tires and almost due for another. Had to put a new gasket on the oil filter housing which was a $10 part and was able to install myself within half hour, did that a year ago. Just put a new water pump 2 months ago cost $350 for parts and labor. Live in the Midwest and have not had any rusting what so ever just because I detail the car myself regularly. Stereo sounds great especially for being a base model had to replace 2 door speakers cost about $50 with s&h off amazon. I installed a new stereo system and touchscreen unit car don't vibrate on outside near as much as others. No electrical issues what so ever. Car has good power & has amazing passing power especially on highways and extremely good handling and agility which is suprising for being such a cheap car and again being that i have the base model motor & tranny are as solid as the day I got it. I'm abusing the tranny have never had a trans flush or anything but so far still solid. Cloth seats stain easy but come clean just as easy. Love the car was thinking about selling and looking for something else but has a bad resale value and been looking for awhile and cant seem to find something as good for the money my car is valued at. Might keep and see how many miles I can put on it!

Last Gasp
For it's price this car is unbeatble. And I've owned some really great cars: a grandsport corvette, a '72 T-Bird, a Datsun 280-Z... to name a few. Best mpg is 33 highway 22 average. Corners like it's on tracks. Extremely reliable and easy to own. My original tires are just now wearing out at 63,000+ miles. My opinion, just before a brand "breathes its last breath" the manufacturer produces something fantastic. Others in this catefory: Studebaker Avanti, AMC 390cid, Oldsmobile Aurora multiple year INDY winner. Too bad the manufacturers don't have better vision
