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.
