2007 Saturn AURA Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by mjd1123
A member in New York, United States
Interior styling
The Morocco Brown leather option on my AURA is eye catching and beautiful. It brings a level of uniqueness to the car.
Insurance cost
Insurance rate on this car is very reasonable.
Feature availability
Great stereo, OnStar is handy for directions and a great safety feature in the event of an accident, remote start is a wonderful convenience to have in the winter.
Quietness
The interior is very quiet even at high speeds. The front windows are laminated, not tempered, which reduces the interior noise level even more.
Reliability & durability
Reliability on my AURA has been horrific. The power steering system has a design flaw in the intermediate steering shaft. I also have water leaks into the interior and a sluggish transmission. Currently pursuing lemon law for a buyback or compensation.
Dealer practices
Almost every problem I have had with the AURA has never been fixed entirely correctly. I have had the same items, especially the steering system, repaired time and time again.
Powertrain performance
The transmission is very unresponsive especially in slow speed traffic where a very noticeable and uncomfortable lurch can be felt when accelerating.
Fuel economy
The fuel economy is not class leading. I average about 20 miles per gallon in a mix of city and highway driving.
