2008 Saturn Aura consumer reviews

I bought a 2009 Aura XE in 2010 and so far I have put 200010 miles on it. Bought it used with 30000 miles. It is by far the best, most reliable car I've owned and it is still running strong. Nothing but routine maintenance. I've changed spark plugs once and I change the oil and filter every 3000-4000 miles. I've changed the wiper motor once and a sensor once. I've owned a few brand new cars but none were as good as this one. Garage kept so that may contribute to it lasting for 14 years. But it's been a great car.

I've owned for 3 yrs. I have spent $3157.00 on repairs only no maintenence. A slipped belt right after purchase, gear shift cable ( TWICE), Starter, crank shaft sensor (TWICE), OIL Sending unit, wiring harness, valve cover gasket, entire steering column, battery due to wiring problem, The glove box fell apart, driver side lock doesn't work. I paid $4500 for car. $3157.00 in repairs.

Currently no one knows what I need for my tail light not working. It does not require a bulb. My turn signal and brake lights work. Help I've called 2 dealership parts dept and they cant tell what to do cept go to salvage yard and buy whole assembly.

This car was everything I was looking for at this stage of my life. It had 3 owners but no accidents and only 96,000 miles. This car is known to be reliable. The exterior and interior are nothing too fancy but it has the necessities (functioning windows, A/C, mid size sedan space, decent trunk space, etc). Saturn is no longer in business so some have had issues finding parts and repairs may be expensive. But as Saturn was part of GMC, it may not be as difficult as one might think.

nice car its woulda be my second favorite car after my lexus , very reliable great on gas with spacious interior, not the most stylish but reliable at best never had broken down on me

After 130,000 miles it has been one thing after another, water pump, alternator, fuel tank and pump, canister, wiring on fuel tank , now the front end has to be rebuilt

2008 Aura XE V6 is by far an outstanding vehicle, 170,000 miles with no costly repairs. Dependable even after grandchildren have been in the back, body of the car has no rusting or paint chipping. Odd things have come up such as the rear brake light in back window went out. The GM dealer was unsure if they could find a replacement bulb and no one knew how to get to the bulb to replace. Keyless entry only works on three doors and the trunk after 170k miles. Plenty of power, plenty of comfort, plenty of country road miles.

Meets all comfort zones! Even for my dog Chloé! I call my car Coco Shan’t tell! Plenty of leg room, easy access to get in and out, heating in winter and cooling in summer is prompt!

Good sound system, great handling and power, comfortable seats. I love the LED rear tail lights. Plenty of trunk space and room in the back seats. Only thing I don't like is the 19mpg gas mileage. Live the heated seats for the winter, OnStar in case of emergencies, power seats and power steering. Parts are cheap when needing repairs. Overall great car for getting from A to B.

It handles well and is very reliable. Mine has 180,000 miles and still runs good. Have never had any mechanical issues, just general maintenance. My only complaint is having to replace the headlights. The bumper needs to be removed to access the lights to have them replaced. Makes what should be a simple job time consuming if you're able to do it yourself, or expensive if you take to the shop.
