I believe it comes down to how well owners maintain their AURA. Get the niggly things taken care of by the dealer under warranty as soon as they pop up. Do routine maintenance and, overall, the AURA should do very well. After 5 years of AURA ownership, I feel more confident that the AURA will hold up equally as well as our 3 Hondas have over the past 30 years. full 2008 Saturn AURA review |

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. full 2007 Saturn AURA review |

Saturn has a checkered history. I was largely willing to give GM the benefit of the doubt. But the saturnfans web site did introduce some notes of caution- I had the sense GM rushed the car into production a bit soon. full 2007 Saturn AURA review |

Continuing problems with the steering linkage failures has me wondering about the overall mechanical quality of the vehicle. full 2007 Saturn AURA review |
