Used 2008 Saturn Aura Consumer Reviews
Surprise to me...I LOVE THIS CAR
I bought this car off a friend when I was in a bind to get a vehicle, ANY vehicle, ASAP. I am the 3rd owner and it already had over 170,000 miles on it. I was reluctant but desperate, and my friend was kind enough to sell it to me at 1/2 the bluebook price. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!! Aesthetically, it is very nice-looking and since Saturn no longer makes these, most people don't know what it is and have even confused it as a BMW. Inside are sooo many amenities that I would not be able to afford on a newer car. I immediately changed all fluids, tires, brakes, headlights, wipers and filters (b/c the previous owner let the car sit for some time) and only managed to blow a gasket once b/c i love to drive at high speeds. This car handles wonderfully at any speed.

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.

Love It! Extremely Good Value
Value - this is by far the best car for the money. Sure you can buy a Toyota or Honda with the same level a reliability, but this has style. And you don't see 30 of them in whenever you look for a parking space. The car drives wonderfully with more than enough power. More power is available with the XR but the XE - V6 is plenty of power. For more spirited performance drop it in I from D. Every guest in my car compliments the design and comfort and thinks it is much more expensive that I paid. I look forward to enjoying this car for years.
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.
Suprised & Disappointed!
Bought new. No prior preference. Just wanted good fit. In truth found it by mistake. Misread dealer's Aura advert for Acura! Then saw it - black, sleek stylish & GREAT price. I'm a tall Rugby player so I need room and selected model w/out sun-roof (who needs it anyway?). Agree with every previous positive comment. May not be a top luxury interior - but its roomy and at great price. Then, GM closes Saturn! Thought - why end a modern, distinctive, fair-priced range whilst keeping two mediocre look-alike clones; (Chevy & GMC)?
