All-New 2008 Saturn Astra Provides an Economical Alternative for the Growing Family (Visit this link)

With gasoline prices headed for the stratosphere, many consumers are looking for compact vehicles that bring higher mpg and more function for their day-to-day driving needs. The all-new 2008 Saturn Astra brings all of that plus a decidedly European flavor to Saturn showrooms across the country. It is packed with a wide range of standard equipment and safety features, and delivers sporty performance with very good fuel economy. Astra offers new technologies to provide an agile, yet comfortable, driving experience. StabiliTrak stability control system with traction control is standard on all three-door Astra's, and available on five-door models. This system works in concert with the standard four-wheel, ABS brake system to help you maintain control during adverse road conditions or during sudden emergency driving situations. An electro-hydraulic, rack & pinion steering system is standard on all models. This system provides a solid, linear feel of a hydraulic power steering system, but improves fuel efficiency by operating the power steering pump only when necessary.
