This car has been solid and fairly low maintenance since we purchased new in 2009. We have simply performed routine maintenance and have had very few problems overall. The only mechanical issue was the replacement of an alternator around 95,000 miles. I dislike the orange color they chose for the instruments/radio controls. It makes it difficult to read them in direct sunlight. I also wish that is had Bluetooth audio, in additional to telephone capabilities. As a result I still need to plug in an AUX cord into the radio. The double-din radio could easily be replaced with something that had the features that I wish, but I simply haven't done it. The gas mileage is pretty reasonable for a V6. It gets around 20 MPG in the city and 26+ on the highway. When I took it exclusively on the highway, I was getting 30+ MPG on that road trip. The ride is smooth and reasonably quiet. And at this point, I haven't noticed any rust or problems with the paint.

My Aura is silver in color and has a 3.6 Liter 6 cylinder engine. It's a great midsize car that has more power than any car I have ever had.
