Just purchased my outlook in Nov 08. Fun to drive. Getting in and out is easy. Seat belt needs a little work

We love this car -- it's super roomy & luxurious. Handles like a car. We took 4 adults & 2 children in carseats with room to spare.

First Time American Car Buyer

This is my first ever American car. I have been accustom to high end European cars as I enjoyed their speed and performance. I decided to add the Saturn to my list and I have to admit, the ride is smooth, quiet and very comfortable. It has all the bells and wistles I need and more space than I can use. There is a delay in acceleration which is tolerable for now. The fuel consumption is good compared to my RR which I am giving up. After a month of driving the Outlook, I now find my 5 series and 996 a little too rough to drive. I feel a road trip coming up this summer!

AWD Worth the Wait

I also fell in love with the Enclave, but the price was more than we wanted to pay. We had to order our Saturn AWD with a 8 week delay, but it was worth it! I drive on some awful dirt roads down in Mexico and the Outlook handles very well. I do notice some reduced power going uphill, but does not affect the overall enjoyment of the ride. I'm getting 16 mph around town, which is what they advertise. I love having all the interior room and my 6' son has room to spread out in the 2nd row bench seat. And our three dogs enjoy all the room in the spacious cargo area. We're very happy with our purchase.

Disappointed In Wyoming

Did a lot of research when buying my first new car. Looking for a reliable car to go on road trips. (loved my two used Suburbans I had previously) Poor gas mileage. Get 12 in town averaging 15 mph/19 on the highway 53 mph. Took it in twice- Mechanic says I'm getting 16/22. It broke down out of state. Had to have computer replaced at 2000 miles. The passenger seat bottom had to be put back on. Can't get used to the small window in the rear hatch. Can't see distance to back up/park. Frustrating. Now I am anxious about going far from home for fear it will break down again. Defeated the whole purpose of a new car!
