The dud's of all dud's

Within the 2 days of purchasing this car, the alternator goes out. 4mo's later, the transmission slips, and had to get replaced. Not even a month goes by, and the radiator and all fans goes out. Everything is replaced, and 2yrs later, the transmission goes out completely. I wish my car came close to what everyone is saying on here, but it doesn't.

In love with my Saturn

Honestly, it's a great car, yes there are some computer issues, but they can be easily fixed and they're not expensive. It rides smoothly, is safe, easy driving, but wish it was a faster car. Overall, highly recommended.

Dollar for dollar the Saturn Aura is an outstanding car. The lines of the exterior really look like a more expensive car. We drove the XR and found that there was too much torque and HP for our needs. Also, drove the Malibu. Chevy has more interesting interiors, but, the people at Saturn seem a bit more consumer friendly. The inline 4 has good power and the sound and vibration damping are really well done.

Nothing bur problem after problem with this Car. Doors wont always open. Locks on rear doors dont work. Nothing but electrical problems. On top of tht ems computer needs to be taken apart every cpl months and add dielectric grease. Car will randomly wont start due to vacuum leak caused by ems computer.it will pulsate and stahl out. Temper gauge freaks out to. and thts just the start of the problems. All in all worst car out there. Extremely cheaply made

Fourth American Made Vehicle

I bought my 2008 Aura used with 27K. I usually lean towards Toyota and Honda. I thought I would give America another try in quality since my last American vehicle was a '92 GMC Sonoma pick-up and was a lemon. The car now has 42K and have not had one problem (knock on wood). I was very amazed with the ride, handling, and gas mileage. I am sorry that Saturn no longer exist because I think they might have had something going for it with the Aura. Oh well maybe my next will be a Malibu.
