Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn AURA?
I've looked at but not driven the 2008 Aura. The 2007 was the best Saturn car I've ever driven.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn AURA?
The center console in the 2007/2008 Aura looks and feels cheap. Why not put a center console in the AURA (and virtually every other Saturn)like the one in my 2007 Saturn Outlook XE? If Saturn Corp spends $250.00 per car by putting better quality plastic in it, they can turn it into an extra $600 or more on the sticker.

2008 Saturn AURA Review:
I loved my 1999 SL-1. But the plastic dash and center console looked cheap. However, after 62,000 + miles and some 8 years of use, there were no cracks, chips, or discoloration of the plastic in both the interior and the exterior. No nickel dents on the doors or wing panels, either. The plain fact is that I'd rather drive a Saturn sedan to any other sedan made by any car company--if I've got to pay for all my own maintenance and repairs. The automotive press and publications such as Consumer Reports are only now learning what we Saturn owners have known for years: These cars offer great value and first rate reliability!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn AURA?
Love sleek exterior, great INFO button on steering wheel,enough compartment spaces, very quiet-road noises blocked out.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn AURA?
the steering wheel well is too low and hits your kneecap when braking. Have lower seat height and sit farther back to avoid this. Getting out of the car seat is uncomfortable due to a high "lip" on each side of front seats.

2008 Saturn AURA Review:
all in all, a pleasing quiet ride.
