Overview & Reviews

A four-cylinder version of the XE slots into the 2008 Saturn Aura lineup as the entry-level model. Stability control becomes standard on V6-equipped XE models. All Saturn Auras come with satellite radio this year, and the trip computer gains an instant fuel economy meter. The Convenience Package now includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

• Potent and refined powertrain in XR model, balanced ride and handling, attractive design inside and out, roomy seating for all.

• Some ergonomic gaffes and subpar cabin materials, no rear center armrest, lifeless steering.

  Thrilled and disappointed - 2008 Saturn Aura
  By Steve - September 11 - 5:33 am

  XEV6 has the right stuff to make it nice to drive. Amazing ride and performance but gas mileage not much better than a 1998 DeVille. For my tastes and budget its a CTS at a Chevy price and better looking to boot. Multiadjustable power drivers seat is a must for taller drivers. A/C system is pretty much useless on hot days or if the car has been sitting in the sun for a while. Takes quite a while to cool down, even at the maximum cooling settings. Saturn dealer says this is normal. I guess Im just spoiled from driving Cadillacs for 25 years. Now if Cadillac could make their cars as reliable as the XEV6, theyd really have something.

  surprised for sure - 2008 Saturn Aura
  By wayne - July 17 - 9:50 pm

  I have been in the market for a new sedan for 6 months. I have been very picky about what to buy, because I tend to drive cars for several years. I drove the new versions of Mercedes C- Class, Accord, Camry, Passat, Saab 9- 3, as well as the TL and a Fusion. I couldnt decide on what I liked best. Then on the way home one day I saw a used TL sitting at a Saturn lot. I pulled in- didnt like it, then saw some promotions on the new Aura. I loved the way the car looked on the outside, but I am also no real fan of Saturn- in the past, they have had some of the ugliest cars on the road. Once I drove it, I knew immediately I would buy it that day. This is, hands down, the best car I have ever bought

  American Cars are Back!! - 2008 Saturn Aura
  By jackflash - May 16 - 3:03 am

  Thank you Saturn for building a car that that finally shows that America is back. As a owner of Japanese cars for the past three years I thought that was the best you can get for a 4 cylinder. The Aura proved me wrong, this car is a quality built vehicle with attention to detail. From the chrome trim rocker panels to the solid closing trunk lid, ambient lighting, trim details, XM radio, smooth shifting, comfortable and supportive seats this car is impressive. The exterior color midnight blue with tan interior and wood trim is awesome for a car in the price category. The paint job is excellent to go, the ride and handling is like the car is on rails, way to go. Plus this car turns heads!!

  Awesome Car - 2008 Saturn Aura
  By Netray - May 15 - 11:36 pm

  So far so good. I have owned 2005 VUE for the past 2 years and it seem to be cheaply made, the Aura so far from I can tell is a well built car and worth the $21K, I looked at other cars with the same options that were in the $30K range and not as nice to drive, Saturn has a winner with the Aura. The Aura handle nicely and is very comfortable, seems to have a lot of power with good gas mileage, Very quite car when on the highway doing 80 mph, and big bang for the buck.

  Saturn Aura is a great car. Handles really well and moves well on the highway. Very quiet when going very fast. Interior leather looks great.

  Great Car - 2008 Saturn Aura
  By gregtwelve - February 27 - 11:20 am

  I needed to replace my wifes 8 year old Maxima. Always liked the looks of the Aura since it came out. With the new GM incentives I decided to take a drive. It is an impressive car in every way. It is smoother and more refined than the Maxima it replaced, the ride is much better and it is much more quiet. It has tons more features and was still $3000 cheaper than the Maxima was eight years ago! I cannot get over how great looking this car is in white.
