2007 Saturn Aura Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Saturn Aura:

Anyone who has ever rented a car in Europe knows that Opel (GM's European division) builds taut, serious cars with the everyday athleticism that European drivers expect... With the Aura, all those sensations are here: the heavy, positive feel in the steering, the augured-down suspension (struts in front, multi-links in the rear), the level cornering, the firm and supportive seats.

What reviewers liked least about the Saturn Aura:

The interior design isn't the most luscious. I'm content with the corporate-wide center console, the integrated panel of controls for the audio and climate systems that you see in so many GM products. It works but doesn't exactly ravish one's senses.

-- Los Angeles Times

Saturn Aura Comparisons:

...at last, Saturn's in the same league as Honda, Toyota, Mazda and VW.

-- Los Angeles Times

In the premium mid-size sedan segment, the upscale Aura XR, with supple leather seats, a 252-horsepower V-6 and a six-speed automatic transmission, gives the front-wheel-drive versions of the Audi A4 and Volvo S60 sedans a very good run for the money.

Best one-liner about the Saturn Aura:

It is the first genuinely likable, got-to-have, give-me-that-one sedan to come from Saturn.
