Used 2008 Saturn Outlook XR 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Transmission troubles
Just recently having transmission trouble. The problem is that it will not engage into drive or reverse. It just sits and revs up in any gear. I have not did anything with the car yet. Hoping someone can help me contact G.M. and get some help as I cannot afford the expense that most others have went through to get the trans fixed.
First time Saturn Buyer
Purchased our new Saturn three weeks ago. We fell in love with the styling, and roomy interior. We have decided to use the exchange option that Saturn offers. With less than 1300 miles the car has developed camshaft problems, and a noise from the rear end every time we turn a corner. This 275 hp engine is not very strong when driving up hills. Its been in the shop three times in three weeks. If the exchange vehicle is not any better, we will probably never purchase another Saturn.

My Saturn is a Teenager!
Few are probably looking for a review on the Saturn Outlook since it is no longer in production. In case someone is, I love my Saturn Outlook in spite of a few challenges. I bought the 2009 version XE in 2013. 5 months later my family and I, including a 3 month old grandchild, were involved in a hydroplaning accident on the interstate. The vehicle looked ok after hitting concrete barriers but the frame was bent, totaling the Saturn. I immediately began a search for another. In 2014 I bought a 2008 Saturn Outlook XR. Within the first 2 years of ownership I did have to have major repair done on the transmission, but the vehicle was 8 years old. I have loved this vehicle! Both have been the Gold Mist color with tan interior. It's comfortable for long rides. I've moved a ton of furniture and people with it. Compared with what is available between 2008 and 2024, I wish I could keep my Saturn going forever!

Disillusioned in New York
I had researched the Acadia and Outlook for months and was very excited when I finally purchased my Outlook XR fully loaded. The Outlook has a great look and I love the interior especially with the heated leather seats, sunroof, and captain chairs, Nav,etc...However I am extremely disappointed in the performance, there is no power climbing a basic hill, my foot is on the floorboard of the accelerator..The gas mileage stinks...I am averaging 12 mpg, I thought I was smarter than the Chevy Tahoe crew because the Outlook bragged about performance and good mileage..False ratings or something is dramactially wrong with this car...I drive rather conservatively, so I just don't get it.
Lots of Problems with Sunroof
Overall owning the Outlook hasn't been too much trouble except for the sunroof leak which has been present ever since we've had it. It's been back at the dealership a total of 3 times, soon to be 4, and it's still leaking. Other than this little problem, no issues.
