An Aura Warning


I like the Aura's look and styling and for the price its a great competitor to any car its size. The one bad really bad draw back is the Air Dam just like our cars, the Sky and even the Corvette. Being the Aura would be most owners daily driver as my friend found out you "DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THROUGH WATER HIGHER/DEEPER THEN 5" EVER!" That neat air dam just pulled the water right into her engine, flooded the car while all the Japanese cars just plowed right through the water. They towed her Aura in and changed the oil dried it out and so far no problems, but this was not covered under warranty so she was lucky the 6-month old car was not totaled but how long till something from all the water taken into the engine shows up? Time will tell!
My daily driver needs to be able to handle that 5" of water puddle because you just never know when it will be raining hard and without actually getting out of you car how deep that water really is. Friend drives her husbands SUV Tahoe when they forecast rain makes him drive the Aura, once was enough for her to be stranded in a intersection with 5" of rain swirling around her feet when she got out of the car.
