I've had my Aura for about a year now. I bought it used at a dealership with about 73k miles on it. It seemed like a great car. I was loving it, until things start going wrong. FIRST the dealership never gave me my key fob, forcing me to use the auto locks, which both have stopped working. Then someone hit me, having me replace the strut, costing over $300. And after that I have had never ending problems. A clicking noise under the hood and a bumping noise on wheel still, both have been said nothing is wrong. AND my steering is jerky and it also eats up oil. AND I only get about 16 mpg city, which is what I mostly drive. Every time I try to get it fixed, they say there is nothing wrong!
Not a good thing

I bought this car to tow behind my motorhome. There have been many problems that are acceptable with a 10 year old car. This car is beyond acceptable. Electrical problems galore. Remote door lock button stopped working, key fobs stopped working, traction control sensor had to be replaced, battery runs down. The latest hiccup is the starter. You never know when it will decide to stop working. After being stranded 60 miles from home, I had car towed to closest dealer service. They could not find any problem after keeping the car for 2 weeks. I felt stupid and paid the $175 for diagnosis. The car started right up at the dealer. Drove car to grocery store, and it would not start. Replaced battery, but that did help. Suspect problem with the starter. The dealer just said they could not find anything wrong.

This is a wonderful car and finally they got it right. Gm is the loser. They lost me from being a future customer. All those gm cars and gm couldn't run the corporation correctly. Honda's are my next new car in 2011.

I brought my car after leasing a Honda Accord coupe after 3 years. The Aura was definitely a large downgrade. They had to change my brake pads after 3000 miles. The car is rattling when you hit a bump. My two year old son got stuck in the seatbelt. My keyless remote goes out every 6 months they already replaced it twice and it needs to be replaced again. I will be buying a new or used foreign car next time.

Bought car used-have driven 3 months 150 miles daily-rides great, especially on long trips-very comfortable- looks very good-interior finish a bit cheap, especially armrests-but that is a GM trait from 30 years ago I get 27 mpg on highway- it gets 30 mpg if I set cruise to 55 but EVERYONE passes me at that speed
