Used 2008 Saturn Aura Consumer Reviews
Aura
Excellent so far. Tire pressure monitor saved my tire. Good honest 29 mpg on highway.
This turns heads for the right reasons
Nice to drive a name plate from the good old USA that has put it all together. Design, comfort, quality, and a real value that truly exceeds what I expected. Nice job Saturn!
Awesome Car, with Imperfections Here and There
So I've had my Aura for about a year and a half now. I've had to have the transmission completely overhauled, as well as the water pump replaced -- all under warranty. Also had to have work done on the EVAP system (measures the fuel/air ratio), NOT under warranty. Despite that, this car is powerful, fast. The handling is great, and the car is fun to drive. I bought my car used and the cup holder was missing from the console, which sucks, but I'm over that. I love my car and get complements on it every time I take on a new passenger. Gas mileage is more than satisfactory for a 3.6L DOHC engine. Awesome safety features. LOVE this car, wish I could drive Saturns forever.
Nice looking but rides like a buckboard.
I look the style and looks of my Aura. However it rides like a buckboard at around 55 mph. Had it back to the dealer when I frist got it over and over. They were never able to resolve the issue. And the left compartment will not stay closed they also worked on it over and over. I just don't use it. I drive a lot of highway miles 40,000 a year so most times I am over the 55 mph's were the bumpy ride is. Dealership has been a disappointment. I was also a little shocked to see how much value the car had lost in one year.
Still
Got this car early in the market, and still get compliments and heads double looking. I often don't know what to say in response to the compliments since I wasn't the one to design it. The combination of power, fuel economy, styling is perfect. Plenty of room(I'm 6'2"). The dashboard info and interior accent lighting one would expect on a $10 - $15,000 higher priced car. I love this car so much that this will be the first time I repeat-buy on a vehicle, and I'm a former Honda owner. Move out the way I'm coming to get a 2009 Aura!
