an excellent sleeper

I purchased an aura xr v6, 2009 with 65,000 miles. it is the top one, including some wireless headphones, dual Chrome exhaust with 6 speed auto with steering shifters and great sound system. this car is a joy to ride and it is well mantained, the parts are really cheap because it shares platforms with malibu/g6/impala, shocks, brakes, body, etc. it runs AMAZINGLY, doesn't save gas but for the power is a nice trade willing to make. It looks better than bmw serie 3 of those years by far and runs faster. the only bad thing is that the car is limited to 115 mph, the competition the top is after 140mph. just that's it. excellent ride

The newest version of this car you can get

Definitely didn't hate driving this car on a daily basis. Having the last model year ever made, there's just something about driving a car that you know you will never see a newer version of on the road that's very satisfying (since Saturn was shut down). I can't speak for other models, but my Aura was super reliable. Up to 150k miles on it now and nothing major ever went wrong with it. It's a shame that Saturn went under since some of their later models that came out seemed to be the best looking. It's just a great, unique enough looking car that sets it apart from the Hondas and Toyotas on the road, especially for the price.

Absolutely wonderful vehicle!

I absolutely love my Saturn Aura XR. I bought it brand new and have traveled many states and long distances in it. It is very comfortable on long trips with very good fuel mileage. The interior is lovely and I love the heated leather seats. I also love the fact that the rear and side lights dim at night. I have had it for 10 years and I'm told,it still looks like a new vehicle. People are really surprised when I tell them it is 10 years old. The paint has held up beautifully.

Most reliable car I ever had

Safest car either to travel short/long distance for a family. Good leg room for both front and rear passengers. Cup, bottle holders, USB port through car chargers. Cruse control, ABS, traction control, AM/FM radio and good audio speakers. Good space at the trunk. Good cabin mood lighting. Done close to 100,000 miles on this car.

Best car dollar for dollar on any used car list

Runs so quite you cannot hear it at stoplights. Rack steering in front wheel drive is super responsive to steering changes. Ice cold Air is very quiet and if you need to Put The Move On in traffic the automatic overdrive never disappoints. This car is a Gem frozen in time - the 4 door sedan makes in and out easy and the overlarge trunk is great. Great for Uber or Lyft driver use. Totally clean. If you buy this car YOU WILL KEEP IT. 37,000 CLEAN HWY. MILES.
