When things are on an upward swing, there’s almost a guarantee that there will be a hiccup or two along the way. In this case, the upward swing is General Motors’ quality improvement, and the hiccup is the 2007 Saturn Aura XR we drove for a week. At first, we loved the look, but once we started looking closer we were just a group of shaking heads and gritting teeth. Inside, the left dash didn’t line up correctly, the rickety center console was misaligned, the switch panel on the driver’s door was popping off, and the rear portion of the headliner was not secure. Things were a bit better outside, where we found some inconsistent gaps but little else to complain about.
