  • Aura Rental

    On my resent trip to Las Vegas I got a Aura XR4 for a rental car from Alamo, we took a trip over to the Riverside California area with the car. The Aura was a very sharp looking car for a 4 door, it had the Redjewel tintcoat on it and had tan leather interior. We put close to 600 miles on the car and averaged 28.5 mpg for the time we had the car. I really don't think that is bad for the mpg considering I had the cruise set at 80 mph going across route 15 back and forth, the AC on for most of the trip and there were 3 good sized guys in the cars and luggage also. The only down side of it was the car did an awful lot of downshifting going up some of the hills, but taking everything into consideration I was really pleased with the car, not to the point were I would run out and buy one "I really have a hard time getting in and out of 4 door cars." The only thing I would change on the car if I would ever buy one is I would go with the 6 cylinder instead of the 4 cylinder in the car, get up and go was OK but the 6 would be better.

    wow. where have I been? Every XR I have test drove or that friends own, etc, all have 6's in them. Was yours an 08 or 09?

    Course the ones im familar with, were the first year models, as my wife wanted onr for awhile and I would always ask to test drive the "top of the line" aura, cuz she has to have everything under the sun in a car.

    Hopefully she wont see this cuz then shell want one again

      I'm guessing it was a 2009, it had 11,000 miles on it and had Colorado plates on it. I looked at the Saturn website and there are 2 XR models, one with the 4 cylinder in it and one with the 6 cylinder in it.

            That's correct, it had all of that stuff. I really liked the radio it had in it, it showed all of your channel settings for each ban and it also displayed what song was playing and by who and the channel you had the radio set on and to top it off it had the XM radio working at no extra charge.

                            I see that the 3.5 v6 is no longer offered in the aura. So only the g6 has the 3.5 now.

                              My friend has an Aura i think with the 3.5L under the hood. I have to admit the inside of the aura is a little nicer then the 6er.
