2009 Saturn Aura

ride

great on gas, smooth ride very easy to work on.

Beautiful car, well built and reasonably priced, what more could you ask for from your ride?

It is now 2014 this car has been a perfect ride from day one in June 2009, only needed one set of brakes the whole time and one set of tires, just oil changes and minor stuff covered by a great warranty.

Its an extremely comfortable ride, especially on the highway.

The ride is smooth awesome stereo system.

The fit and finish is great, the ride is great, and for a V-6 the MPG is great too!

It rides nice and smooth and looks so classy on the inside and out.

It handles so well, has such a smooth ride, plus it had leather and a moon roof so that definitely helped sway me!

mileage

It is very comfortable on long trips with very good fuel mileage.

This car has paddle shifter, heated seats and good mileage.

Happy to own this four cylinder low mileage vehicle with 22/33mpg .Found this car under the most odd circumstance

The car has been great in every area; handles well, is quick and gets decent gas mileage (a little over 29 mpg if I keep it at 70).

The Aura has plenty of power and yet it gets great gas mileage;27mpg around town and 34mpg highway driving.

So far a great car for the $$, excellent gas milage and performace.

I get great mileage in the city and the highway.

The gas mileage has been as advertised, the features are great for the money, and people have complimented the car's look.

interior

The interior is lovely and I love the heated leather seats.

Leather Heated Seats, Clean Inside Out, Aux Cord, Duel exhaust I love this car!

Love this car simply becauselect the styling of the interior and exterior is great.

It serves its purpose as a good commuting car and has nice and slick interior.

Saturn almost had it all together except for the easy stuff: the interior.

The tan leather seats and interior are top notch.

comfortable

The heat and A/C  kept me comfortable no matter the season.

Very well designed, very solidly built, fairly comfortable, and plenty of room (even for a tall guy like me).

It is very comfortable and handles very well.

It's an extremely comfortable car to drive. From the leather seats complete with warmers (for those 25 degree mornings we occasionally have in Texas!)

The Aura has been a great car for these trips--comfortable, reliable, and ecconomical.

The seats are very comfortable for both my wife and I. I am 5-11 and fit in it very comfortably.

fuel

The Saturn Aura is a very gas sufficient vehicle.

The Saturn Aura XR-4 won hands down for price, features, safety, and fuel efficiency.

2008 Saturn Aura

noise

The least of the problems involved cracking speakers.

Then, there is a rattling coming from the back seat.

transmission

This transmission issue is nothing compared to my final problem!

At 6K miles I notice a major transmission leak.

windshield

The only thing is the left and right side of the windshield blinds a whole car or person if you are stopped and the crossing traffic is in the right spot you can’t see anything!

There are some visability challenges for a short person (side rear view mirrors, posts between windshield and side windows, and head rests get in the way).

This was from the windsheild not being sealed properly.

Very comfortable for long drives and good on gas even being as old as it is.

Plenty of power, plenty of comfort, plenty of country road miles.

Good sound system, great handling and power, comfortable seats.

Very comfortable, especially for long trips- never stranded me, no major breakdowns or expenses, driven in 3 NY winters then relocated to Fla. Lots of  V-6 power, 26 mpg highway, HUGE trunk,  seating for 5.

Gas mileage is great and very comfortable.

We bought this car for gas mileage and were suprised at the alll around comfort and performance .

Just took a long trip and it was very comfortable.

power

Live the heated seats for the winter, OnStar in case of emergencies, power seats and power steering.

All instruments will randomly lose and regain power.

The power to,  is a good match to the cars almost two tons.

My power driver seat also went out once for about an hour or so.

with leather and power sun roof its a great looking car inside and out.

The XR model provides the power and performance we desired.

turn-handling

Fast, quiet , great handling and so reliable .

Minor repairs (as recommended by my mechanic) needed to make the car fully functional again (sway bar and turn signal lever)

Great car very few problems ,great owning .I feel I could have driven it for years geat handling also comfortablt also looking great should not have stopped making.

In addition to excellent handling characteristics, and plenty of get up and go, the instrument cluster is one of the best I've seen, with excellent day and night visibility.

but is any taller than 2 inches, it will tip over when you make a turn because the holders are so shallow.

Acceleration is brisk and handling is on a par with my accord coupe.

The car is comfortable, quiet, & good gas mileage.

On a more serious issue, the vehicle has NEVER come close to producing the promised EPA mileage.

Excellent styling and not one problem so far, a solid 30 mpg on the highway.

the i-4 has good mid-range pickup ,quiet on the parkway and gets about 24 mpg around town and freeway.

After driving a few foreign cars I wanted to support American car makers and drove the Saturn Aura and it was one of the roomiest cars and the ride was excellent.

We went with the 4cyl and are happy with the smooth quite ride .

The vehicle itself is a very smooth and powerfull car to ride.

Can't get as much vehicle for my money and know that it is a great ride!

solid, fast, comfortable a really nice ride.

2008 Saturn Aura Green Line

2007 Saturn Aura

There is very little or low engine or outside noise heard in the cab.

Noise levels are extremely low - feels like I'm driving an Audi or a BMW.

The Saturns low profile works well with taking turns and driving in the wind.

Has been very reliable, handles very well, A/C works great, good value, solidly built,  great teen car.

Handling - Once again, put good tires on it and wow this thing will not let go. 3.

Curves are well-placed, as are chrome accents.

!8 inch wheels with low profile tires give the car great cornering ability,

They are responsive and smooth, and allow you to experience the stabillitrack in those tight corners.

The car handles really well, not like a typical front drive Camry or accord, both of which I have owned.

The XR also has a tad bit more pick up and seemed a little tighter in handling.

This car has is comfortable and seats a family of 5.

Most comfortable, reliable and responsive car I've owned.

I had a 2007 Saturn Aura XE 3.5, It was a good car that was used on highway and city driving, the MPG  was usually under 20. the car was generally easy to drive and the inside was easy to get comfortable in, im about 290 lbs and had plenty of room inside.

i would recommend you get this car it is the best car i had its so comfortable it makes me feel safe.

Power driver side bucket seat very comfortable, especially lumbar support.

Bucket seats are very comfortable and hold you in the seat.

Interior wears very well and spills not a problem with its stain resistant seat covers.

Other than looking great, the inside had all sorts of storage as well so I could bring a lot of things with me or store it in the car as I spend a lot of time on the road.

The paint is still perfect (champagne), the interior still looks very good; I get 16 mpg in-town; up to 21 mpg on highway (although at the time of purchase they promised 30 mph).

Although there's lots of plastics in the interior it really does look more luxurious then you might think.

Interior has some great features and look even better. 4.

but it is nice to try it on empty patch of road late at night..I read the reviews like on here about the fit and finish been poor but for a GM car it is very nice and smooth inside.

feature

It has great pep and really nice features.

With more extras and options than any car I've owned, for the value.

Cabin features are pleasing to the eye and touch - plush surfaces, up-to-date dash controls and instruments, roomy console compartments.

I think that a really neat feature is the four fold glass sunroof.

The reason I chose the XR over XE, is
for just a little more money, I I got every luxury option available - standard.

The comfort, performance, and options are right up there with the best of them.

The options and price were great, so I bought a well equipped XR model.

safely, confidently, comfy  XR 3.6, Black on Black with all options.

reliable

This was the nicest car I ever owned it was stylish and very reliable.

Since I Got The Car It's Been Very Good To Me I Love The Gas Mileage It's A Very Reliable Car I Love It

This car is far more reliable than the L Series

I wanted a reliable car and opted for Saturn, what a disappointment.

2007 Saturn Ion

In February of 2010 there was a loud clunking noise underneath the car that was there since November of 2009, finally I couldn't stand it anymore and actually took it to the dealership where I bought it.

but the noise would return because that's how saturn Ions are.

Great on gas, smooth ride, cosmetically great.

In all the years we have had it we only had an issue with the gas line.

Good on gas, great visibility, and I quite liked the dash in the middle instead of behind the wheel.

And not to forget to mention that I get 27 miles to the gallon! :)

FUN CAR TO DRIVE, GREAT ON GAS , VERY COMFORTABLE AND SHARP, GREAT VALUE FO THE MONEY, PARTS ARE EASY TO FIND AND SERVICE FEES ARE FAIR

It ran pretty good for a while and gets excellent gas mileage.

The ride is smooth and comfortable; handling and braking great; great gas mileage for the seating size;

It is lightweight so fuel economy is good.

gas saver, running smooting,confortable interiors and nice radiosaunds,a/c never fail and you have the power when you realy need.

Great run around around car, very reliable.

I cannot think of a better first car to give someone, it is reliable and has very few things to go wrong.

Has been a very reliable car, no major issues with anything.

I would highly recommend it to anyone else and feel completely comfortable using this vehicle if I had kids and wanted something safe and reliable

This car is reliable, affordable, and drives well, even handling fairly well in a very snowy climate.

good thing they gave up on the cvt and used a more reliable trans

This car met all my needs and it suits me so well and I love the low mileage for a great deal!

I am enjoying my Ion it goes once it's got the right rpm.

It has plenty of power for a 4 cylinder, and gets good mpg in both city and highway.

Great acceleration for a 4 cylinder car and of course great gas mileage.

though in 07. peppy, good mileage, roomy interior and trunk, nice styling, and a cabin air filter.

but has a lot more power which is a nice compromise not giving up too much mpg.

If all you need is a little comfort, afforability, safety, and reliability, I would take this car with me anywhere.

The car is also comfortable to drive, has a cool instrument panel, and runs very well.

as such this car is larger, peppier, and more comfortable.

family

As time went on, I stopped thinking the outside was cute compared to my friends' challangers, or the inside was big compared to my mom's Altima.

has all of the features needed if you are thinking of starting a family.

2006 Saturn Ion

The seats are terribly uncomfortable, there is a lot of road noise, not to mention that it was in the repair shop 2-3 times for minor problems.

Ions came with electric steering, which reduces noise and allows the car to vary the steering response depending on vehicle speed.

We've had to have the ignition replaced, some cable tied down that was rattling in the back, and the hinge for the mirror on the sunshade broke on one side and we hardly ever use it.

Radio works great, good gas mileage, and quite comfy.

Engine is good, parts aren't super pricy, it's great on gas mileage.

There is no better design for my needs, it gets excellent gas mileage, eats up mountain terrain, which is surprising for its 2.2l engine.

NEW INSPECTION SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE CAR GREAT FOR YOUNG DRIVER'S FIRST CAR
GOOD ON GAS EASY TO DRIVE AT A GREAT PRICE.

I was impressed with this vehicle, the mph was better than other cars I've driven, about 25mph.

It is  the right size for easy parking, gets 30 MPG, and has enough performance for my needs.

GREAT EVERY DAY VEHICLE WITH "ON STAR" POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, KEYLESS ENTRY AIR CONDITIONING,CRUISE CONTROL, POWER LOCKS, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE.

!Have not put much money in it whatsoever .so reliable I'm going to drive it to my wheels fall off

Car is very comfortable and extremely reliable.

Passed it on to my 17 year old daughter and I feel safe knowing she is in reliable transportation.

It was reliable and needed few repairs throughout the years.

This car has been so reliable and trustworthy!

No issues with upkeep, reliable and easy to drive.

A GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY FOR THE FIRST TIME DRIVER OR FOR SOMEON WHO NEEDS A GOOD RELIABLE CAR FOR WORK OR FOR CHORES.

Interior was nice, sleek and comfortable.

Gas mileage is excellent, durable interior and exterior that stand up to a 9 year old AND a toddler's car abuse, huge trunk, comfortable seats which are totally adjustable so even my dad and brother who are well over 6ft can drive comfortably.

i find it very comfortable, it handles well and the gas mileage is awesome.

With the gas prices keeping above $2.50 per gal the mileage can't be beat for the comfort of the car.

The Recaro seats are extremly comfortable, and I really like how the quad coupe doors open.

Great on gas, and comfortable on long road trips.

It's a great car for a teenager like me who just got their license a year ago.

I was a 6 cyl girl and this little car seemed like a one way ticket to the realm of boring soccer mom.

i have been driving my daughters 2006 saturn ion for 6 months.

The foot room in back is only good for kids about 6 yrs and under, and especially leaves room to be desired with a carseat in one of the seats.

2005 Saturn Ion

wheel

The dashboard is in a spot where all the dials are not hidden by the steering wheel.

My only gripe is an engineering oversight from GM - the transmission to wheel geometry is off, resulting in horrible wheel hop under hard acceleration.

The steering wheel is a reach and the seats are a little too firm and low,

For many drivers, the main adjustment that needs to be made in the Saturn Ion is the location of the odometer and speedometer gauge (located in the center of the dashboard as opposed to behind the wheel).

steering

The power steering went out every other year, and it was a motor, not fluid so it was about 300 dollars every time we had it fixed.

The steering column is faulty and ours had to be replaced (dealer had done this so many times he knew to recommend used st column).

My Ion 2 - Power steer went out which resulted in a whole new steering column, ignition module failure, 2 tires blown out with no apparent cause, and the windows don't work right in this one either.

audio-system

I had constant trouble with the engine control system.

Car doesn't start much in the winter due to security system malfunctioning at random.

First problem was the anti-theft system right after I got it which wouldn't let me start the car for 10 minutes.

- It had a ghost in the electrical system that took over a thousand bucks for a certified dealer to diagnose and fix in two visits.

Ok ride dive I'm just having a problem with shifting into 3rd and 4th gear so I think I may need to change the transmission and the transmission is roughly right around &#36;500 so I'm trying to purchase a vehicle aw

however transmission had some problems 150k miles.

It lurches when driving and has trouble shifting gears.

I needed a reliable car, good on gas,easy to handle,lots of room, no frills to break down. Fantastic

Great on gas, lots of space for larger people(I'm about 6") great first car.

Gets good gas mileage and gets me where I need to go.

This car is a great highway vehicle due to its high gas mileage.

It's comfortable to sit in, the ac/heater are awesome, and it gets great fuel milage.

Rides smooth. Good gas mileage (26 city/35 hwy.)

They have all been very dependable, good seats, great maneuverability, and good gas mileage.

Saturn Ion has to be the best value on the market in terms of fuel economy, reliability, price and ride - Nothing else comes close.
