2008 Saturn Aura XR Gauges On Startup

[ATRichard]

I got one of these as my 1st car! And at an awesome price too. It does the gauge sweep too when its starts up! Its just a really nice and safe car. I love it! :-)

seems most modern GM Vehicles but i can recall the sweeping also on a 2000 Pontiac Bonnerville and Cadillac Seville.

someone said saturn has performance? they have performance?

[mustangmikeca]

This car sucks, I only averaged 11L/100KM (21MPG) with the 4 cylinder with mixed highway/city, when it should be 26mpg and the interior sucked

Doluck & Snobrdrdan. You guys are all wrong. 06' ion better performance then an XR aura, wrong. 09' GTI better performance then an XR aura, wrong. The Aura XR has an 252 HP, 3.6 liter engine, it kills. Looks sick, goes quick. Don't hate.

@teariblespellar

This was my old car man....I posted the video!....I'm not "hating" on it.

But realistically, the Ion Redline I had ran low 14's and my GTI ran high 13's.....so how does the Aura XR even compare when it runs mid-high 14's?????

It's a nice car but it's heavy, underpowered, & a gas hog :(

I only saw 19-20mpg babying the XR. I got ~25mpg in the Redline, and 30mpg easily in the faster GTI.

@teariblespellar

Seriously? You think a GTI has worse performance than an Aura XR? The GTI has less power, BUT it weighs a lot less (so it IS faster)....has bigger/better brakes....better handling....and just better quality.

The XR is a nice car for the money, but is NOT a performance car by any means

[ATRichard]

The way the gauge sweeps and then the lights fade in its just sayin "let's go"!

[doluck2100]

i drove one of them. there ok i guess. seemed like it couldnt get out of its own way tho. ended up gettin 06 ion 5spd. much better

[snobrdrdan]

I agree....it's not an impressive car by any means (performance wise)

Hence why I drive a 2009 GTI w/APR Stage 1 now ;)

[pepene93]

@snobrdrdan it wasnt designed for performance tho. it looks pretty good, is comfortable, and during normal driving it doesnt feel slow.

[snobrdrdan]

@pepene93

It IS a nice car (for the money)....I don't argue that. Plus it moves decent.

BUT I just didn't like the gas mileage....18-19MPG and I was babying it. Any aggressive driving and it'll only get 15MPG :(

[pepene93]

@snobrdrdan thats true. its a lower end luxury car though. theyre not made for mileage either. lol

[BrtshAmerican6]

I love this car, love how it drives.

[shawtiee1085]

hi i was wondering if you can make a video of you driving the aura normally and ahowing the gauges? thanks -brandon

[snobrdrdan]

I would if I could, but I don't have this car anymore....sorry man

[BXV2009]

I love the way that after the gauge sweep, the dash just fades in.

[reader41]

gotta love those soft chimes

[gtrdude]

I thought only the XE's did that?

[snobrdrdan]

On some Auras it does the "sweep" & on some it doesn't. According to the guys on saturnfans, it depends on who made the gauge cluster.

I just posted this for the guys who don't have this happening to show what it's "supposed to do"

[gtrdude]

oh wow..very interesting..

[jkcarcrazy]

very cool man. my dad drove one of those a whiles back. its nice

- btw this is Delta2.2 from SEE......HI! lol =D

[snobrdrdan]

OH hey James, lol
