Overview
2008 Saturn Astra XE Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Once considered GM's best hope for fighting the Japanese small-car invasion, Saturn's cars have grown larger and more expensive while its customer base has grown older and more conservative. To get back in the groove, the company has borrowed a popular European brand to replace the aging and bland Ion. The 2008 Saturn Astra may be new to us, but this version has been a hot seller in Europe for over four years. Saturn hopes the reasonably-priced Astra will once again put it on the shopping list of today's tech-savvy youth, evidenced by the car's very own page on the popular Facebook networking site.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you're shopping for an affordable, fuel-efficient small car, but you also want something that's both fun to drive and style-conscious, the cute four-door and racy two-door Saturn Astra (each with a hatchback for enhanced versatility) are sure to please. You'll also appreciate Saturn's five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. If little details, such as an auxiliary audio input jack for your iPod, satellite radio and more than one cup holder for front seat occupants are important, the Saturn Astra falls short. Horsepower junkies will find more to like in the Volkswagen Rabbit or Mazda MAZDA3.
What's New for 2008
Saturn earned its reputation building reliable, fun-to-drive small cars, but the company has not had a hit in the compact car arena in quite some time. If the Astra proves a success, it will not only re-establish the company's import-fighter credentials, it might also yield a whole new generation of repeat Saturn buyers.
