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 |

Tilt/telescoping. Power and heated. They hold you in place in curves better than a sedan usually does. see full Saturn AURA review |

Roomy rear seat both in terms of legroom, head and shoulder room. Easy to enter and exit, especially when you have a child in a car seat, plenty of room to work around. The split rear seat folds down for extra cargo room if needed. see full Dodge Avenger review |
