2007 Saturn VUE Green Line 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

I've owned my Vue Hybrid since April and enjoy the gas mileage tremendously. I like the way the car looks and the comfort of the interior. I've had a problem with the rear passenger side door rattling. I took it to the dealer last week and it doesn't rattle as much, but it still rattles. Other than that I've had no problems with it.

Favorite Features

I enjoy the automatic lights.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the gas mileage so it is eligible for the carpool lane like the Prius.

Disappointing Hybrid Vue

Written by: fairfield1 on 10/06/2007

Vehicle

2007 Saturn VUE Green Line 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

I'm very disappointed in this vehicle. I have had several scary driving events in which the car jumped, lunged, and/or stalled for no apparent reason. It has been in for service and repaired several times. In addition it only gets 22 miles per gallon -- pretty bad for a hybrid. I think the poor gas mileage and the problematic engine/electrical system must be related but the service department denies that there is a problem. They say their problems are no worse than the Toyota Prius. I find it odd that they justify their problems by another manufactures problems. I will never buy a Saturn or GM product because of these problems and how I have been treated by Saturn.

Favorite Features

Satalite radio, On-Star, and heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

The 2008 has moved the window controls to the door which is more sensible.

Great Value for the Money

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

Review

This vehicle has it all for a low price. With current promotion of 5.9% interest or $4000 in cash back, how can you go wrong? We have a fully loaded model. AC, sunroof, electric everything, OnStar, integrated hands free phone (Verizon) or you can buy minutes to use as a pay as you go phone, tinted windows, 17 inch wheels and lots more. Impact resistant side panels are a nice touch. The V6 Honda power plant is what sold me on this vehicle. 100,000 mile power train warranty helped. This is the last year before a major body style change (that we did like).

Favorite Features

OnStar, spacious back cargo area and grocery organizer, heated seats, sunroof, AWD, satellite radio.

Suggested Improvements

Wider seats, inside doohickey to open back hatch, better speakers.

End of the Green Line?

2007 Saturn VUE Green Line 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

If you are looking for a vehicle to pull your boat or camper or to climb to the top of the mountain it had best be a pop up trailer and a very small mountain. The Vue delivers a good comfortable ride but you had best know what your giving up performance wise. It does travel well on the flat and narrow and the mileage which is one of the main reasons we purchased the Green is about what we expected, 25 around town and we have gotten 30 on the highway. It will hold a bit of stuff but it's not a four wheeler. It does get a bit of attention on the road and lots of questions at the gas stations. Fit and finish are good, but it leaves you wanting more.

Favorite Features

Looks, XM radio, leather seats and sunroof

Suggested Improvements

More omph, split rear hatch.

Good Car

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

Review

I like my VUE. It's not as good looking as the other SUV's in it's class but so far it has been a good car. I love the OnStar.

Favorite Features

OnStar, and believe it or not the silly pop-up crate in the back for groceries and packages.

Suggested Improvements

Comfort of the back seat, air circulation in the back seat (many kid complaints), seat upholstery, mileage (not nearly as good as expected).

Review

I hate the saturn vue I have been to the dealer 8 times in as many weeks. I loved the vehicle for the first 6 months (13,000 Miles) then everything started to go wrong with the catalitic convertor, struts, suspension, axels, ignition cylinder and a few other repairs to the bushings etc. The dealer have been wonderful and helpful FORGET CORPORATE the person who I deal with knows less about cars than I do and their response is oh well too bad so sad we will honor the 36,000 mile warrenty thats it. AAAHHHH and things are still going wrong with it. NEVER AGAIN

Favorite Features

looks really great on the outside.

Review

This is my first SUV, but not my first Saturn. I came back to Saturn because my last one (an SL sedan) was very reliable. I have to say that this is great on gas mileage, and there are a lot of features that you would expect from an SUV that was more expensive. Pickup is what you would expect from a 4 cylinder, but it's great for around town driving! I take mine on 1400 mile road trips- this was exceptionally comfortable with plenty of room for people to spread out as well as luggage. I felt a lot safer with OnStar. Nice that they give you one year free!

Favorite Features

OnStar, outside temp/direction monitor, sunroof, comfort, oil life monitor, rear seat cupholders, tinted glass, roof racks, mp3 aux input jack, drive train warranty, fuel economy, grocery storage rack

Suggested Improvements

One thing I don't like is the stereo. Dealership can't find anything wrong, but the speakers don't work right. Other than that, no complaints.

Greenline Hybrid Review

2007 Saturn VUE Green Line 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 4A)

Review

Now that I have my Saturn Vue Greenline Hybrid I will never own anything else. I have owned Saturns for years, but the advantage of this one is that it has cut my commuter gas bill in half! I'm getting even better mileage than the dealership said I would. An added advantage is that you can use the battery to power the air conditioning or the gas (like a normal car). I have used it on both and there is no difference! So, of course, I use the battery to power the air conditioning. Both my 18 year old and my 2 1/2 year old love the comfort! And the dog loves the cargo area! Good job once again, Saturn!

Favorite Features

Electric battery powered air conditioning, gas mileage, roomy back seat (even with a car seat for the baby), roomy front seat,the passenger side airbag turns on and off based on weight, and a great multi-media center.

Suggested Improvements

I couldn't think of any way to improve it really. Though, my husband isn't crazy about the automatically locking doors or the fact that the car beeps to remind him he isn't wearing his seatbelt on the passenger side. But I like that.

Uncomfortable

Review

Purchased my Vue 2.2Liter L4, in April 2007. Though the Vue lives up to its fuel economy, the comfort of this auto is poor. The seats are like sitting on rocks. Saturn's fix for this issue is to buy a pillow. If you are a person with long legs or a person of size please take this into consideration when you make your purchase. There is no leg support.

Favorite Features

Fuel economy

Suggested Improvements

Larger seats

LEMON!!

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

Review

This is my second Vue and I wish I had heeded the quality issues I had with my first. This one has simply been a nightmare to own. 6 weeks after purchase the clutch cable broke and it had to be towed back to the dealer. Now I've had it just shy of 1 year and it's been into the dealer for a recurring problem with deceleration at least 5 times, each time they keep it for almost a week!! I think I am almost qualified for the lemon law. When coasting to a slower speed while exiting a freeway once it drops below 50 mph if I try to accelerate again I get nothing - the pedal can go to the floor and there is no response. Speed drops, RPMs drop. Dealership can't seem to fix it.

Favorite Features

It's a mighty comfy drive and it's pretty darn good on the gas. When I see mileage info for the Green Line Vue I laugh - my 4 cylinder manual gets better mileage!

Suggested Improvements

QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY!!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SATURN!!!!!!
