I expected the interior quality to be better. Imo, rattles and other interior bit noises shouldn't exist in a good interior. The Rio I test drove two years ago didn't have any rattles.

Other than that, it was a pretty nice car. I'd still consider it (I'd rank it above the Aveo and Cobalt, though I should take a Cobalt for a longer drive).

You also have to keep in mind the fact that I drove the Elantra ~15 minutes after the Aura, so the Saturn was still fresh in my mind. It's kind of unfair I suppose.

Edit: I've reconsidered this, and have taken that line out of my original post.
