2008 Saturn (Opel) Astra XR Four Door Hatch. 2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member5706 The short version is that you shouldn't let the lackluster sales or Saturn badge scare you off, this is an awesome car. It is not your run of the mill crappy junky American-made car, it drives very much like the German car (Opel) it actually is. I advise owners to... |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Nova Scotia, Canada The car handles very well in corners etc for the class of vehicle. It is fun to drive. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States Due to Saturn being shut down the rate of depreciation is fairly high which allowed me to get a hell of a deal on a used one. |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States I like that the Astra conveys a very premium image. The exterior panel gaps are minimal and all of the interior switches and levers look and feel of high quality. |
|

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member4241 Bought during the GM Total Confidence promo. |

|
2009 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member4028 Because Gm was closing the Saturn line, I received about $8000 off MSRP from the factory and dealership. Winning Motoring 2008 Canadian Car of the Year, it was worth the MSRP. $24500 original price out the door, I paid $17400 out the door, AWESOME. |

2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3649 This car is set up with the original suspension before being "grey marketed" to the NA market. In short, it handles like it does with the stronger powerplant in Europe. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Ontario, Canada The interior is well built and offers many features not seen in cars for the price range |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Illinois, United States The Sport Suspension Package is the best $400 upgrade I could have paid for. I love to drive corners and this makes it so much better than the standard suspension. I drove both. The rubber is better on the 17" rims as well. It has very little body roll. |

2009 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Saskatchewan, Canada This is not the first or last saturn for my family, they have always been a reliable car for us that has required very little money to maintain |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Alabama, United States European handling |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Louisiana, United States Interior has soft-surfaces and may little details that I continue to notice day-by-day. You do tend to rev this engine - but it is very smooth. It reminds me of revs on my motorcycle - not like most Japanese 4-cylinder engines. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States The brakes are awesome. Compared to my 2008 Toyota Corolla and my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, the brakes work exactly like the Eclipse. The car comes to an automatic stop instead of gradually making a stop like the Corolla. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3084 This is an economy car, but comes standard (XR model) with auto on/off headlights, rain sensing wipers and telescoping steering wheel. The optional features list includes a very large sunroof/sky light and cloth or leather heated seats. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3065 I rented a similar car in Europe, and I was impressed with the build quality and refinement of the vehicle |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member2903 Wonderful!!! |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons A member in Pennsylvania, United States 33 MPG |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3011 You can buy these cars for thousands less the MSRP making them cost the same as cheap little economy cars. But the Astra is NOT a little cheap econo car. It is a very nice Euro car that happens to be smaller and designed for good mpg but w/ handling. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member3002 Very smart european styling. Nothing on the road like it for the price. |
|
2008 Saturn ASTRA Pros and Cons Member1928 I have an Automatic, which comes in a four speed, and I get 28mpg! |
