2007 Saturn Aura consumer reviews

I had the pleasure of renting the Aura XE for 2 weeks. Glad I did...as I was instantly amazed! (my last few cars have been foreign). Well, I did my car research, and did many many test drives...but the Aura beat them all! No other midsize car handled as well. With that said, I purchased the Aura XR, in silver pearl, with black leather interior ? high quality and very sharp looking for a midsize sedan. The XR is fully loaded, too many options to list. The reason I chose the XR over XE, is for just a little more money, I I got every luxury option available - standard. Not too many cars offering that. The XR also has a tad bit more pick up and seemed a little tighter in handling. But overall, I did not feel much of a difference. For a sedan, this car is fun to drive, it handles more like a sports car, fast pickup, tight, responsibe, very solid. It's also very quiet on the highway and great gas mileage. It also drove excellent in a recent snow storm. I have no regrets about my decision, I am very impressed and thank Saturn for producing such a great car! Thanks Saturn!!

BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUG. HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 10 TIMES 9 DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT START.TOWED TO SATURN IT IS STILL THERE. THE CAR IS A LEMON. I WOULD LIKE SATURN TO BUY IT BACK.

So far, so good. Great gas mileage. Everything is great. Only objective would be the interior feel of like the door handles and the feel of the panels. A bit sub-par as Cars.com commented on.

The 2007 Aura is an excellent car in either trim level. If you tend to like BMWs, Audis, and other classy performance brands but prefer not to pay that kind of money for a car, the XR is the trim to get. The transmission and V6 engine are world-class, and exceed the performance I've experienced in previous high-end Japanese brand products I've owned. There is a fit and finish issue in my car and in several cars I saw on the dealer's lot - the dashboards are installed slightly out of kilter so that the door and dash trim (wood/aluminum) don't line up. That said, I find the interior to be attractive, modern, and comfortable. The Aura is very quiet inside, and the upgraded stereo in the XR has fine sound quality and an input jack. Although the car is not available with in-dash navigation, you can upgrade to OnStar's Turn-by-Turn navigation for $100 for a year. You talk to an advisor who downloads automated directions to your car. AFter that point, the system functions similar to a standard nav system, and you can update the route without talking to an advisor. I did compare this car to a Camry SE-V6 and several other V6 vehicles. I thought the Camry was rather sterile and expensive. Other than the one issue I noted, the build quality seems to be solid. I'm very satisfied with my Aura, and would recommend it highly.

My only problem with the car is the back seatbelts. Every adult I've had in the back seat doesn't like the seat belts. After you fasten them there ok until you try and ajust the rear radio, place someyhing in the rear cup holders , or pick something up off the floor. You come to the end of the belt and the racket trigers, so when you sit back up, your now lock in place. The only way out is to undo the belt let the recoil pull the belt back and the re-fasten the belt again. Not all that safe when you driving and the people in back are putting the belts on and off every few mintues because they get to tight. Saturn replace the belts but it still does the something. So now they say there working the why they were designed. So sit in the back seat check out the seat belts and if you can live with that, well its a great car other wise. If you have an Aura and have the same problems please report it to Saturn, Maybe they will do something about it if they have enought complaints.

My fourth Saturn, the Aura, is by far the best looking, most stylish, best performing, best handling vehicle Saturn has produced. Bought it for my wife and she has been exhuberant about the car. Have received many kudos from friends and co-workers about style and handling. GM did this one right. That said, I wish GM would move the outside mirror controls to a more convenient location.

I've had my XR Aura about a month.I'ts been one of the best cars I've ever purchased.We picked out the Ocean Mist with leather interior and chrome finish.I thought the plastic wood grain was too cheesey.The lighted dash is really cool.The XM radio is located in an easy access as well as the AC controls.The on star system was included in the price.The drive is very impressive the steering feels like my 03 Bmw 330 CI not quite exact by very close.The outside has a nock down serious eye appeal body design.It looks more like a Lexus than a Saturn.Really 21st. century.With the 18 wheels it is a passionate car. Some improvements like a lighted glove box, locking gas cap,a lighed garage door opener.Also get rid of the cheap interior plastic parts.And make all the arm rest softer as well as a center arm rest in back seat is needed. Overall this is an exciting car.With great pricing value.Fun driving with shifting controls on the steering wheel for auto manual shifting.Good tight suspenstion great brakes and large trunk. Like I said before a Sweet Car.

This is a great car that is easily comparable to the Camry. There are many great aspects that I would choose this over the Camry.

What a Heavenly car~ It glides not rides on the road. There is no Saturn insigina except the S logo and if you are not a car afficionado, I often get asked what type of car I am driving~ It is most often mistaked for a Lexxus. My husband loved the price and I loved the beauty. The Morroccan brown seats are so desirable and the navy blue exterior mix are exquisite~Nothing like blue jeans and dark brown colors paired together. Equipped with a smooth ride and many bells and whistles~my fav~the gas pedal switch to move the pedals closer for short legs~this car is a must have~Thank You Saturn for an Aura-dacious car!

I've owned my XR for 2 months now and I love to drive the car. She is very fast and agile for such a large car. Her German heritage (the Aura is based on the Opel Vectra sold in Europe) shines through. Definitely the prettiest of the cars on GM's Epsilon platform. Only got 4 stars on interior because the plastic for the door arm rest and coin bin are cheap, and the car could use modern features like memory seats.
