2009 Saturn VUE FWD 4-Cylinder XE

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

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

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

MPG, Size, Style

Cons

Cup Holders (LOL)

Purchased As New

Was in a pinch after kid wrecked her car & had to get a new car for myself ( 6' 280lbs). Had a little Saturn SL that I gave to kid, so was looking for something bigger & was planning to get a New Traverse or Outlook next spring (2010). I went in looking at a '06 & stumbled on a Demo '09. A perfect fit! I was shocked at the size & styling ( neighbor thought it was a Lexus) GREAT gas mileage (460-500 a tank). Smooth ride & pickup. More space in cargo area than either the Traverse or Outlook, but you do lose the third row of seats. Vue will seat 4 Adults easily 5 if smaller or kids (not in car seats). The cup holders are down low & not very deep, my coffee cup wobbles while driving...read morehide
