The new <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/autos/saturn"><b>Saturn Astra</b></a> -- comes in three- and five-door models. I spent the week in a three-door in up-level XR trim, equipped with optional leather seats ($745), an upgraded audio system ($595) and 18-inch alloy wheels ($495) slathered with fantastic Dunlop summer performance tires. Delivered, our test car priced out at $20,330.
