The sales staff was very accomdating, especially after the purchase. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. I am a previous owner of the Grand Caravan and I like my Saturn so much more. So far I am getting around 27/28 mpg on highway and 24 city. The toybox is a great separation from my young kids (little less fighting). The only problem so far is the door handle frame on my front passenger door handle keeps popping off. When it pops off, we have difficulty open the door from the inside. Very easy to clean, especially since I can lift up the caption chairs to vacuum under them. This is great for those who have young ones that drop fries, M&M's, gummy bears, etc.

I have owned my 2005 Saturn Relay for a little more than a month now and have some initial first impressions worth noting. First, of the four like minivans GM is building I feel by far that this is the most attractive of the group. I did notice an intermittent issue with the radio where when you turn it on there would be no sound or the screen would go dark for a second but that seems to have resolved itself. Also the passanger side power sliding door didn't work for a few minutes one day but that seems to also have resolved itself. Otherwise, I have found this to be a very comfortable vehicle with plenty of room and creature comforts to keep the whole family happy for miles and miles.

I had a Vue before I got the Relay and loved it but the Relay is another story. It has been worked on by the dealer 7 times in less than 4 years. All 7 times has been for the same problems! It's not the dealer because I have been to 2 with the same results. Don't waste your money on this car and save yourself a headache.

I have found several problems with this car and it's only a few months old.. First I will be having the radio replaced for the 3rd time since purchasing this car in February. It seems to be shorting out and it makes the steering wheel extremely hot. The car also does NOT have any pick up, I have had other minivans in the past and this is the worst when it comes to that. It also has a habit of shaking as you are braking in the event of having to do so in a quick situation. It makes a grinding noise when you are braking as well. The service center claims this is normal and cannot find anything wrong with it. I would not recommend this car nor would I purchase one again.

Much cheaper than Toyota and Honda. Have only had a few minor things that the dealer repaired quickly. A/C could be colder, but other than that it is great for long trips.
