2009 Saturn Aura Usados en Venta

This car has been solid and fairly low maintenance since we purchased new in 2009. We have simply performed routine maintenance and have had very few problems overall. The only mechanical issue was the replacement of an alternator around 95,000 miles. I dislike the orange color they chose for the instruments/radio controls. It makes it difficult to read them in direct sunlight. I also wish that is had Bluetooth audio, in additional to telephone capabilities. As a result I still need to plug in an AUX cord into the radio. The double-din radio could easily be replaced with something that had the features that I wish, but I simply haven't done it. The gas mileage is pretty reasonable for a V6. It gets around 20 MPG in the city and 26+ on the highway. When I took it exclusively on the highway, I was getting 30+ MPG on that road trip. The ride is smooth and reasonably quiet. And at this point, I haven't noticed any rust or problems with the paint.

I purchased this car so that I would have a way to travel back and forth from college to home. It has done that job well; it has always been able to make the trip. However, within the first year that I owned it, the solenoid went out, costing me $1,000 to fix. The car at the time only had 60,000 miles on it. This should definitely not have happened. I was disappointed in that. Other than that, there were a few other problems such as the automatic locks going out and gas mileage being terrible for a 4-cylinder engine. Besides all of that, it always starts right up and gets me from one place to another no problem.

I am used to driving a rusty old station wagon, so getting this Saturn felt like getting a luxury vehicle. It has so many perks that feel brand new to me. Some of the perks include heated leather seats, remote start, OnStar, Sirius XM Radio, a CD player, and a key fob.
