2008 Saturn Aura - Pleased with Saturn Purchase

I had attended a Saturn demonstration several years ago and came out asking which would be better: working there or buying a Saturn? From the instant we drove it, I was hooked. The car drives well and has a very appealing design, inside and out. It is easy to maneuver and takes curves and corners well. Maintenance has been minimal as has recalls. This leads me to believe that the vehicle was quality controlled well. A definite plus was the hybrid feature. It did take a little getting used to to not hear the engine when stopped but miles per hour definitely increased from our previous vehicle, a Lincoln Mark VIII. The inside of the vehicle is comfortable for long drives and the dashboard has easy access to all instrumentation. The stereo and the auxiliary input both perform well ... (more)

Story

My husband absolutely hates when someone pulls up around us with music you could hear in the next county. He was so fed up one day that he turned the volume up on a Christian song we had playing full blast and lowered all the windows. We got dirty looks from the young man playing his rap but we got our point across.

Pros

As stated before, the Saturn is well suited for long drives. Seats are comfortable as are the headrests. The steering column instrumentation is well thought out and easy to use. Not having an adjustable wiper speed in previous cars, this was definitely a plus. The remote control for the vehicle works well and this is a feature I love. Especially with a new granddaughter and the possibility of shopping with her later this summer, having that remote will be a Godsend. I like the vehicle information system, again well thought out and easy to use. It is vital I have this information as I... (more)

Cons

There is so much good about this vehicle for the year it was built, that it is difficult to find problems. We do have a situation where oil is leaking and after several tries, mechanics have been unable to find or stop the leak. Additionally, we have had problems with the rear doors (both of them) either locking or unlocking. We have had to resort to rolling down the windows so a passenger can get in or out. Also the paint has begun to fade despite having a coating applied at time of purchase. Stains on the cloth seats are difficult to remove and we are still looking for a product tha... (more)

2008 Saturn Aura - Very fun ride.

First of all the car is sharp looking on both the outside and inside BMW designed the interior of the car. The car comes equipped with paddle shifters on the steering wheel putting the car into sport mode, which activates the manual transmission, making the car launch quicker. The car for the most part is very easy to work on given the proper tools, I upgraded almost everything on the car with performance parts, although the GM parts were just fine I like to race though. The only downside is the front seats don't really due the car justice as they are hard and don't really support your lower back too well if your traveling long distances. Another downside which luckily was under recall from GM is that the clutch plate failed so I got a free transmission and clutch plate out of it. Ther... (more)

Story

I always go to the 1/4 mile drag strip outside of town to test the new modifications I make to the engine and always have a blast.

Pros

The paddle shifters on the steering wheel make this car fun to drive, and the rims on the XR model are very sharp although I painted mine black. It is a fairly quick car as I can hit 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds (with some minor modifications).

Cons

My experience for the most part have been wonderful but I have had some issues. First I hit a curb not going fast just about 5 mph and the whole control arm fell off the car. I was sitting at a red light and the car wouldn't move, turns out the clutch plate had failed and was under a GM recall. The brake light failed, again another GM recall for the wiring harness to the brake lights. And had some minor suspension problems but that was due to old parts failing as its almost 10 years old.
