Purchased As New

This XR FWD is the nicest ride and most powerful iSUV I have ever makes the mountaineer with the 5.0 look like a dinasour . The 3.6 is a smooth engine a great highway feel and all the extras in the vehicle add pizazz to the ride . XM radio and the onstar system turn by turn is just amazing. get one before they are gone I own three cars a pontiac G6 Convertible and a Olds Alero all bought new guess General Motors should take heed before ridding the public to purchase a vue but thats show biz .......read morehide

Pros

Good Fuel Economy, drives very smooth, great audio system, nice amount of space

Cons

Distance from front seat to back seat needs to be a little longer for baby seat in back.

Purchased As New

I absolutely love my new Vue. I have been a Saturn owner for over 10 years, driving an SL1 for 215,000 miles. In April, I needed a bigger car because my wife and I were expecting a baby. I bought the Vue because I read good things about it and enjoyed my last Saturn very much. This car sits high and is smooth to drive. It responds well when I need to get some speed, even though it is a 4 cylinder. The extra space is great as well as the XM radio. The power sunroof I have is also a plus. I have had this car for 5 months now and already have put 10,000 miles on it and it keeps going strong. I expect it to be as good as my old Saturn and put another 200,000 on it!...read morehide

Pros

Quiet, stable ride, easy steering

Cons

front seats a little short

Purchased As New

After test-driving a new Mazda Tribute for a day, I made one last stop to compare the Vue. Wow, what a difference! The Vue was feels much more stable at speed, shifts effortlessly, and is much more quiet. They really have worked to cut down on road noise from the rear wheel wells, which seems to happen with the more truck-like SUV's. Technologically advanced with the driver's information center, as well as the security of On-Star. Really a fun car to drive. The MPG is 25 on the open road, and about 18 in the city. I bought the base XE 4 Cyl to get better mileage, and just wanted the upgraded stereo. The base vehicle is much more advanced than others on the market. Check it out, you will not be disappointed. (and I am previously a Honda snob!)...read morehide

Pros

Roomy, Handles great, rides bigger

Purchased As New

Great handling car, had now for 3 months, my wife & I like it.
No SUV rocking & planty of room. Plus Saturn innovation.

Pros

Size, Looks, Ride, Quality, XM Radio, Cargo Room, Rear Seat Legroom

Cons

Nothing is missing, great car

Purchased As New

I purchased this vehicle after looking at and driving the Honda CRV. The Saturn Vue had a better ride and more standard features. Having now driven over 2,000 miles, I must say this car is much better than the Consumer Reports and Car & Driver New Car Reviews. It is fun to drive, holds everything and I have had zero issues. I have purchased a second New vehicle and seriously considered another Vue. I went with a Toyota Venza and like it as well as the Saturn. I love driving each of these cars, with no favorites. I was surprised at how well the 4-Cyl performs even on the Highway....read morehide

Pros

I bought my 2006 Saturn Vue w/38K miles on it. Now has 150K. AWESOME. Would buy another tomorrow.

Cons

My main complaint is the flimsy sheet metal on rear hatch. Crummy latte holders.

Purchased As Used

I wanted a daily commuter that could double duty as my "horse truck" and I got it in spades! No ones believes it when they see me drive up pulling my 2 horse Brenderup trailer w/6cyl Vue. It's safe, it handles great, I get over 25mpg on the freeway and it's comfy. The smoked glass rear windows hide my tack, and I have lots of room in the center seat for other stuff. But it's roomy enough for my husband to drive to. I want to buy a newer model next! I hope they keep making Vues!...read morehide

Purchased As New

Saturn redline is excellent than the competetors. Acceleration is excellent. Interior is fabulous.Exterior is awesome.It is the best SUV in this class.

Pros

Great utility and dependability

Cons

Rattles a bit

Purchased As New

I bought my 2003 Saturn new. It has 102,000 miles on it and (knock on wood) hasn't had a single mechanical problem, tho the steering squeaks due to driving thru too much bugdust one day several years ago. I've been very pleased with the power of the I4 engine, having towed a trailer and ATV back and forth 650 miles to Washington a few times. Good gas mileage and it has stayed steady. I got a great price on it too. I give it an A plus....read morehide

Pros

Great Looking, Great MPG (Avg. 25.7)

Cons

4 cyl. does not have enough get-up-and-go power

Purchased As New

I am very pleased with my VUE. Gas mileage is great and the appearance really turns heads. One down fall is that my 4cyl does not have enough get-up-and-go power. I also wish that they had paid more attention to the comfort of the seats. On long drives the seats become quite stiff and uncomfortable.
