The Outlook looks great inside and out, unfortunately mechanicly the vehicle is garbage. I have spent more money in 11 months of ownership on my 08 Outlook than I have in my last three vehicles combined. My next SUV will be a non GM product.

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

2008 Saturn Outlook XR 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

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.

Car is wonderful. Gas mileage has increased wondefully as the car has climbed in mileage. Very quiet ride. Handles excellent. Way better build quality compared to older Saturns.
