2009 Saturn Astra
2009 Saturn Astra Returns After Impressive Debut
This sleek, European-style three door vehicle will offer a fresh alternative to those expensive cars without putting a dent in your wallet. After an impressive debut, the 2009 Saturn Astra comes standard with a powerful 1.8L, 138-Horsepower 4-Cylinder engine. Although the Astra's standard engine is powerful, it does not compromise at the expense of fuel efficiency. The five-speed manual transmission, standard on all models, will help you avoid the high gas prices by giving you a smooth 32 MPG Highway, and 24 MPG City.
An electro-hydraulic power steering system that comes standard on the Astra provides a solid, linear feel while providing the nimbleness required to fully enjoy your driving experience. Four wheel antilock brakes will give you the confidence and assurance of being able to stop safely if you happen to encounter adverse weather conditions, or emergency driving situations.
A variety of exterior features on the Saturn Astra will help you admire its beauty and commitment to safety. Daytime running lamps keep you visible in different lighting situations, while the wrap-around head lamps accentuate Saturn's signature style. Halogen headlamps featuring projector beams provide light, helping you see in poorly-lit areas. Heated, power-adjustable mirrors and rain-sensing winshield wipers will help you maintain visibility in all weather conditions. The Astra's long wheelbase and width gives way to ample storage space and great comfort. With a capacity of 5 passengers, this hatchback offers 19.8 cubic feet of storage space, 42 inches of front leg room to fit the tallest of people comfortably, and firm bucket seats that stay true to the sporty feel of the Astra. Rear 60/40 split-folding seats maximize storage space for whenever it is necessary.
The Astra comes with a comprehensive set of safety features to complement its bold style, fuel efficient power, and highly responsive handling. Included are six standard airbags, including roof rail head and curtain airbags, and seat mounted thorax/pelvic air bags. The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for CHildren) system provides increased security for child safety seats.
The 2009 Saturn Astra is poised to become a major competitor in performance vehicles. Be one of the first to propel it to new heights.
