Well...
The aroura is a nice car. A lot of content, it's powerful and handles ok, and it even gets good gas mileage. Our saab 900 SET auto gets 18 in town, 26 highway on average. Not too impressive, actually. Interestingly, many of the japanese makes get poor mileage compared to GM and BMW, for instance. How odd.
My cousin, and olds mechanic, hates the cars with a passion, becuase they are such a huge pain to work on. The heads come off the engines frequently, and they cleverly used iron bolts directly in an aluminum block--so they have to re-bore the holes. I hear horror stories from him abou the car.
Still, under warranty i guess it wouldn't be bad, if you got loaners when it was in the shop.
