2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I have owned a few of GM's vehicles. After talking with other Saturn's owners, all of them said that they would not purchase any other vehicle. So, I decided to purchased the VUE. I just love it. I've got so much for my money. No need to purchase packages, no need to add on anything, unless you want sunroof, leather. I didn't need that. But, everything else came in one package. I even got OnStar. The ride is wonderful. I previously owned a Buick Regal and it was a 6 cylinder and now have a 4 cylinder and I can't tell the difference. I now fill-up every week and 1/2 instead of filling up every week. Trust me on this. This is a good buy.

Favorite Features

OnStar system. Controls in the steering wheel. Space in the vehicle. Layout of features.

Suggested Improvements

Wider seats with thicker seat cushions.

Zoomy, Fun, and Sporty

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

What a great vehicle. Saturn puts a zoomy 250hp V6 Honda engine in the VUE. The result is a great ride in a sporty vehicle and you can heap on the extras like, leather, a sunroof and super stereo system without killing your wallet. Great for hauling my bike, canoe and dogs. All that and a best in class 28 mpg highway rating. I looked for 8 months and couldn't find that combo in any other mid size SUV. Saturn wins big with the VUE.

Favorite Features

Zoomy, dependable 250hp V6 Honda engine. Saturn should market this feature. Lots of interior space. Handling. Great sound system!

Suggested Improvements

The power seats are great, but Saturn and other SUV makers should offer power seats for the passenger side as well.

Great VUE

Review

We bought our VUE in Oct, and we can't stay out of it. We love the interior and the space you get with this vehicle and the sunroof is just icing on the cake. We chose the storm gray, awsome color. The steering is so smooth it's effortless. We love it. The pick up for a four cylinder was suprisingly quick, and on the first tank full I got 27 miles per gallon. We test drove the Rav 4 and the Honda CR-V. Both were too small inside. We chose the Saturn for the space and fuel economy. This is our first Saturn and only time will tell if it's our last. I heard they last a long time.

Favorite Features

The interior space. Heated driver seat. The sunroof. The smooth steering, the smooth drive, and the fuel economy

Suggested Improvements

The seats were made slightly small so they could fold easy for space. I think there is still enough space for a larger seats . That was the only disappointment with this vehicle for myself. My wife seems to think they're fine for her.

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

My V6 AWD VUE looks nice on the outside, but exterior look is strictly for those that are looking. Chrome package is OK. Forget running boards. They look good but mine actually get in my way. Get mud flaps. The VUE kicks up a lot of dirt and the interior of the doors gets pretty nasty. Get the sunroof air deflector; it eliminates horrendous noise when the sunroof is opened. Rooftop cross rails are pretty, but not sure if they are needed. Some VUE accessories need to be installed by the dealer. Mine tried to whack me with an additional $300.00 over quoted but agreed to eat the cost. Order the extra’s online and install them yourself. 180 watt upgraded stereo is a waste of money.

Favorite Features

The view from the VUE is unobstructed. Steering seems odd but acceptable. Seats are small but not uncomfortable once you find the right position.

Suggested Improvements

I like my VUE but American auto makers need to pay more attention to functional design and forget gimmicks. You can’t live on “Buy American” and not produce something worth the money. Saturn used to be quality. Now it’s just another American auto maker.

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

Review

We love our VUE. The handling is great with a very quiet ride. The roomy interior is a real plus, not to mention the fuel economy for a small SUV. This SUV gets just as good gas mileage as our car. We would suggest it to anyone. It is very affordable.

Favorite Features

OnStar, safety ratings, dent resistant panels, design.

Suggested Improvements

Side air bags in all models

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I've had my VUE for a week and love all the wonderful features and the superb gas mileage. It has a ride like a car (really quiet), good pick up (AWD V6), looks great on the road, and has a comfortable backseat. My only complaint, it has a small gas tank. I drive 100 miles per day, and have to fill up every other day. You can't beat the OnStar with built in phone, that can be connected to your cell service.

Favorite Features

Steering wheel controls for stereo and cruise control. Fold flat back seat. Great visibility.

Suggested Improvements

Bigger gas tank. My other car has a computer built into the stereo system that gives you your MPG, fuel remaining, etc. The VUE would be perfect with that feature.

Our 5th Saturn

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 4A)

Review

This is our 5th Saturn and our 1st. SUV. I'm impressed with the comfort of the VUE. Having had 2 of the smaller Saturn's and 2 of the L series larger Saturns. I thought that the ride would be rougher but have found it to be even better than the sedans. I really enjoy driving this vehicle and the handling is great. I look forward to many happy driving miles in the VUE.

Favorite Features

The styling, handling, visibility, and comfort are terrific.

Suggested Improvements

Make side air bags and ABS standard on all models of the VUE.

2007 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I recently bought this vehicle for my wife. It's just the two of us. It's larger than most "compact" SUVs and has a lot of power (Honda V6). The thing just wants to go. The free year of OnStar is nice, as my wife is famous for locking her keys in the car (once with the car running). The back storage is very versatile (love the grocery organizer). We opted for the tan leather interior, looks really nice with the wood trim. It's still relatively new for us, just a few hundred miles but we've been impressed with it thus far. And the dealer experience has been great, very painless, no pressure. We'll definitely go back to Saturn for future purchases.

Favorite Features

The leather interior, upgraded radio, rear storage

Suggested Improvements

Replace rear drums with disc brakes, the buttons on the power windows take some getting used to.

Cool new VUE!

Review

I just got a V6 auto VUE and I love it! I had a small European car, and although it does not have a lot of the neat features of my old car, I still like the VUE. Great gas mileage, fun to drive, roomy, dealership is customer friendly! I was looking for a small afordable SUV as I convert over from a sedan to an SUV and this is perfect. I would recommend it for non-SUV drivers. My husband, who has a huge SUV, says it's just "OK" and not much to it, but for me it's great! Just enough! My good friend has an '06 and has not had one problem. She and her family (dog & kids) all enjoy the car. My dog, likes the space in the back where I can store her water for long trips!

Favorite Features

The look, both interior and exterior. Gas mileage. Price. Customer service reputation. Side storage area in back for water bowls for my dog. Hidden cell phone charger,.

Suggested Improvements

Both front seats should be power with the comfort package. It needs larger front storage area. Seats could be a bit more comfortable.
