From rest, 60 mph is only 6.2 seconds away. Learn More 2: Timing Chain Is Stretched 2007 Aura Average Cost to Fix. That combination is enough to give the XR plenty of pep. Worst 2007 Saturn Aura Problems 1: Transmission Failure 2007 Aura Average Cost to Fix: 3,900 Average Mileage: 83,000 mi.
The XE uses a 3.5 L, 224 hp V6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission while the XR has a 3.6 L, 252. It's bolted to a smooth-shifting, six-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The Aura has two trims: the XE sedan and the XR sedan. The top-level XR comes with a DOHC 24-valve V-6 displacing 3.6-liters and producing 252 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque. EPA fuel economy is a decent 20 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway. However, since Saturn has priced this car to compete with its rival's four-cylinder models, the XE's performance is near the top of the pack. That's impressive horsepower for the money, but its performance is limited by a less-than-impressive four-speed automatic. The base level XE gets a compelling $20,595 base price, and a surprisingly smooth 3.5-liter pushrod V-6 that produces 224 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque. Both come equipped with V-6 engines and automatic transmissions driving the front wheels. The Aura comes in two trims levels, the XE and XR. Our only complaint is the lack of padding for resting your elbows on the door and center column. And it's easy to find a comfortable driving position thanks to adjustable seat height and lumbar, as well as a tilting-and-telescoping steering column. The front seats offer firm cushioning on your back side. All the radio and HVAC controls are easy to reach and use. But it still doesn't stand up against the best interiors in the class, like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Kia Optima. It's not a bad interior, in fact compared with previous Saturn models the Aura benefits from nicer materials and better fit and finish, bar none. The first was a 1994 SC2 that lasted me 14 years until it was totaled. Once inside, we noticed our enthusiasm fade. And its rear doesn't stick out like J.Lo's. The G6 sedan has a plain, wedge-looking nose and rounded rear end, a combination that isn't bad, but not as stylish as the Aura's chrome-bar grill and aggressive angular headlamps that make it look sporty and hip. In the case of the Aura, we think Saturn outplayed Pontiac in exterior styling. Now for 2007, Saturn tore again, and reskinned the Pontiac G6 to give us the Aura, a mid-size sedan taking aim at the top-selling Honda Accord and Toyota Camry with a base price of $20,595. Saturn's touch gave it an edgier look and it also came with more equipment. In 2006 Saturn tore a page out of Pontiac's playbook and introduced its own, restyled version of the Solstice, named the Sky.
