2008 4dr Sedan 169-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Saturn seems to have a better image than a lot of other mainstream brands. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 224-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Saturn has a reputation for not so good cards, but it has changed. I would highly recommend an Aura and will be looking at a Vue or Outlook to replace our current SUV when that time comes. see full Saturn AURA review
Saturn AURA Brand Reputation: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 GM on verge of bankruptcy. Saturn may be eliminated. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 252-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I have owned GM & Honda’s, My experience with the long term reliability of the Honda’s were impressive. I can’t say the same for GM. The General now says this car’s quality is up there with the best of them, only time will tell. see full Saturn AURA review
2007 4dr Sedan 224-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD		 Overall, GM does not have as good a reputation as Honda or Toyota in terms of reliability, which is a major factor in my purchase decisions. I was largely willing to discount that concern on this purchase. see full Saturn AURA review
