If not for the fuel economy and the snow

We bought this car for the advertized fuel economy and to buy American. I alway buy AWD, but thought FWD would be fine and thought mild increase in fuel economy would be good. Wrong!This car can't get out of it's own way in the snow. It's so heavy in the rear there is no weight on the front tires. Forget about pulling onto a street after a snowstorm. The MPG is 15.5 at best. You can get near the 24 on the highway if you don't exceed 65 MPH. All in all, 15.5 is not 16-24 that they advertize. I am a sad consumer when 2 of the three reasons I bought it were a fraud.

2007 Saturn Outlook fuel economy facts

We were excited going into this vehicle as we were anticipating the added room and fuel economy GM had advertised. We have fallen way below the mileage rating, currently getting in the mid 13's in town and around 18 on the highway. Total mileage to date is about 5,500. Asking the dealer about possible reasons for the bad mileage, we got a couple of responses...first it must be the way we drive, second, the 'break-in' period for this vehicle is 15K miles, both rubbish as far as we are concerned.

We love our Saturn Outlook! It's comfortable and we've had no problems at all with it. We're in the market for another new car and we're realizing how great of a job GM did with this vehicle. The nav system is top notch and we also really like the stereo system and overall interior design. The car drives well, has good pick up and can carry 7 adults without any problems.

We bought the Outlook after purchasing an 07 Aura a few months back. We were so impressed with the Aura we figured we couldn't go wrong with the Outlook. We were right. It gets good gas mileage for a large SUV. The ride and interior are very comfortable.
