2009 Saturn AURA Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Comfortable for tall people. Lots of front seat legroom and headroom. Telescopic steering. Centre armrest adjusts nicely, I can drive with both elbows resting and still hold steering wheel. see full Saturn AURA review
2008	4dr Sedan 219-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats fit me well and I find I can drive for hours without discomfort. see full Saturn AURA review
2008	4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tilt/telescoping. Power and heated. They hold you in place in curves better than a sedan usually does. see full Saturn AURA review
