The Aura XR has very adequate power in almost all ranges. It does struggle with quick shifting from 3rd to 4th. In bumper to bumper traffic it is best to switch to manual shifting because the shifting can become fairly rough. see full Saturn AURA review |

There is a serious issue with transmission lag when powering out of corners and sometimes when passing in the lower gears. It seems to hesitate when searching for the next gear and can take a few seconds literally. see full Saturn AURA review |
