When it comes time to stop, or turn, the Saturn Aura isn’t quite as impressive. Around town, the brake pedal feels too stiff and doesn’t offer enough range of travel, but when we hammered the car on back roads, we appreciated the quick response to input and confident bite for tight curves. Likewise, the steering felt better and more natural when driving in a spirited fashion, featuring lively response, good road feel, and steadiness in fast sweepers. On the highway, we thought there was too much play on center, and when cruising around town assist levels were a bit too light.
