2008 Saturn AURA Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by willoverkill

Ride smoothness

Very smooth ride. Epsilon body platform is very stiff, suspension does its job without fuss and no interior rattles or creeks over bumps!

Fuel economy

Fuel economy is very good for vehicle this size. Ecotec is great on the highway. 3.6 Alloytec V6 with 6-speed is also surprisingly fuel frugal.

Front seat room

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.

Materials & workmanship

Some of the interior plastic, noteabley the base of the centre console, is made from hard and thin plastic, feels very cheap and questionable durability. Most surfaces the driver touches however are soft and pleasant.

Safety & braking

Brake size is good on paper (11.65" front), however the brakes feel underpowered under heavy stopping.
