Safety - What the Auto Press Says
In addition to a long list of standard safety features, the 2008 Saturn Aura also scores very well in government crash tests.
The Aura received five stars out of five stars for driver and passenger safety in front-end collision tests and five stars out of five for front seat and backseat passenger safety in side crashes. The Aura received a rollover rating of four stars out of five.
Accident Avoidance
All Auras come standard with four-wheel disc, anti-lock brakes. XR models come with StabiliTrak Stability Control. One reviewer notes a visibility issue. "Wide windshield posts partially block visibility when turning corners," says MSN.
Crash Protection
MSN reports that the Aura is equipped with "OnStar assistance, front-seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags." OnStar with a one-year Safe and Sound Service Plan is standard on all Aura models. The front seat of the Aura is also equipped with dual-stage front and passenger air bags with Passenger Sensing System. There are also front and rear crumple zones and Lower Anchorages and Top Teathers for Children (LATCH) in the backseat. "Among the Aura's standard safety features are four adjustable and lockable head restraints," says MSN. "There is, however, no head restraint for the middle person riding in the Aura's back seat."
