The Saturn Aura

. . . is getting some positive buzz, over at Reynolds' place and elsewhere.

My 1994 is still going strong; we got it back when Saturn was still making reliable cars. But the husband's 1999 LS (Large Sedan) has been one disappointment after another, and the dealer where we bought three cars doesn't seem to want our business.

So it's probably over between us and GM.

Anyway, I think I'm ready to fall in love again.

1 I had a '93 Saturn SL1 that I gave to my son in '03. (it promptly fell apart, but that's another story.) Having had a pleasant experience with Saturn, I was shopping for a new one in '04 when I discovered that local Saturn dealers were converting other brands! Something was definitely wrong. I too, felt the allure of the Subaru Outback. Business associates told me horror stories. Things about transmission problems and "paint peeling of in swatches." So I did some research. If you look at the JD Powers and Associates ratings, you'll notice consistent 2 1/2's for the Outback. JD Power's ratings of 2 1/2 is not even "average": http://research.cars.com/go/crp/research.jsp;jsessionid=AUXHUIX4FLAJ3LAYII5JXKY;jsessionid=AUXHUIX4FLAJ3LAYII5JXKY?myid=&makeid=45&year=2007&modelid=2996&mode=§ion=safety&mode=&aff=national So, we bought a Toyota RAV4 for our business that year. We recently replaced it with a Matrix, after again considering Subaru, and Mazda (brick seats). -Bob
