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 |

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 |

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 |
