people that have no troubles at all don't participate
 
You bring up a good point, Phaetondriver. I'll chime in and say that I've had my 07 Aura XR since late August, have about 4300 miles on it, and have had no problems whatsoever with it. I understand it's not a perfect car, and agree with issues like the door panel trim being plain, etc. With the discounts I received, however, I paid anywhere from $4000-$6000 less than a comparibly equipped Accord, Camry, or even Altima, and got a car that essentially matches their features, performance, and comfort. And Saturn often offers discounts, as they are now with the President's Day sale.

I reside in Ontario Canada and they don't practically give away cars here as they do in the States. We pay good money for our cars here.
 
I expect more from any vehicle that i'm paying over 33000 for.
 
I also expect more from general motors, who claims that they are making better vehicles. Then people wonder why they are constantly losing market share and laying off workers. They need to infuse some of the Japanese culture in their manufacturing processes. The Japanese take their products very seriouslyand it shows, they always have, and if it wasn't for the import companies competing with GM, they would probably be making far worse vehicles than they are making today.
 
Thank God for competition!

Just wondering if your Aura Rocker Panels are separating or
 developing large gaps ?

Good...........that proves it is a manufacturing flaw and not a
 design defect. That should make Rocker Panel repairs
 a warrantied item and therefore eligible for repair by SATURN .

Absolutely. The panels don't appear to be secured well to the body of the car.

Front End Noise etc.... by bob919344
Mar 02, 2008 (9:25 am)

I too have a 2007 Aura XR with only 7800 miles on it..
 
   The front end sounds like its going to fall off when i hit any type of road bump or just about anything !! Sounds like struts are bad or bad CV joints to me !!
     Highway mileage is great.....town stinks !!!!! highway gets about 27+ , town only 17 average. thats not too good to me, my Caddy i turned in for this got better mileage.
     Interior is what it is.....a Saturn by GM " Cheep and flimsy and plastic " also the arm rest is so cheep and flimsy too
 
      not sure if i will ever get another one after this lease is up ??

The front end noise is likely the grille/panel assy in the front, mine did the same thing and dealer corrected the problem.... as far as fuel economy..... regarding fuel economy,,,,, raise your tire pressure 2 pounds and you should get a 10% improvement..... I would also be interested in what vehicles in this price class do not use plastic... most of which is 'flimsy'.... I looked at Camry, Accord, Subaru, and all had the same attributes.... I have had the dash apart on mine to install some electronics, and must say the underpinnings of hte dash are substantial.. and the use of the electronics bus strucutre for the radio and other accessories is very advanced.

Aura brake pedal higher then gas pedal by ralphtrent
Mar 01, 2008 (5:44 am)

My wife just picked up her 08 Aura XE (V6) last night. She noticed that the brake pedal is higher (closer to the driver) then the gas pedal. She's used to being able to just slide her foot from right to left to go from gas to brake, but she can not do that here. Is this normal for this car? She does not have adjustable pedals.
 
Thanks.
