It Had Some Potential...

2008 Saturn Aura XE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

I've had this car for close to a year and I'm ready to get rid of it. The powertrain seems solid and it has plenty of horsepower, but the torque steer gets out of control when you step on the throttle. It rides nice and smooth with minimal road noise. It's loaded with every feature you could ever need. However, I just can't get past the cheap plastic interior. It creaks every time I accelerate and there are rattles everywhere. It detracts from what might otherwise be an enjoyable driving experience. I had to have the door lock fixed by the dealer, the intermittent wiper function works inconsistently, and the steering wheel vibrates and squeals when making tight turns.

I love this car. Sure it has a couple of downfalls, but nothing major and nothing I didn't notice before I bought it. I am getting great gas mileage, about 29 in city, 34 on hwy. I would ask that anyone drive this car before you buy, you will be glad you did..

I purchased my Saturn Aura with 49 miles on it back in 2008 and this was the best investment I have made in a car. To date my car has over 241,000 miles and in still running. I just got a new suspension, wheel bearings (didn't need it) and an alternator. All of this cost about $760.00 to replace all of this. Outside of this the only thing I get yearly or every other year is my brakes. I wish that GM would bring this vehicle back to market. For most Saturn owners we dont sell our cars and this isn't a car that you will see for sale often. We are pretty loyal to this brand. Please GM bring this car back.

This car is amazing , I love how it gets up and goes ! The extended warranty I got with it is absolutely amazing !! The dealership I bought it from and other dealerships have a attitude of working on this car. She looks so sleek , I have gotten asked is that really a Saturn?!?! Every person has a different opinion on anything , and for my family and I this car has been amazing, comfortable, dependable and in love with her
