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 |

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 |

2008 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable for prolonged around-town driving, not bad for long trips. Could use adjustable lumbar support, but all other adjustments are very good. The non-sueded cloth is comfortable and durable. see full Kia Spectra review |
