Three years on I am still kicking myself for buying this horrible vehicle! I have never in all my life seen a more poorly made vehicle on the road. This includes a mid 80's Sonata. This car has been in the dealer more times than all of my precious cars combined. Faulty ABS system, Bad brakes, bad A/C, bad DVD, bad front wheel bearings, bad side doors, bad suspension, bad parking brake adjuster, bad side trim, and overall horrendous build quality. I would sell it but it has NO replacement value and I foolishly took out a loan to buy it. so it is now worth about 8 grand less than I owe. I tried to have the warranty extended as a courtesy but I was told to take a hike and with 34000 on th

This vehicle is horrible. Yes the interior is nice but the ABS and stablization controls are always broken. Sliding doors will randomly open - or they may not open at all - it's a gamble. Have to press the gas to get it started - engine has a hard time turning over. Lights flicker. Saturn will tell you this is "normal" - but it's still not acceptable. They should all be recalled and demolished.

Have now over 100k miles with no problems. Excellent van that does everything right, everything is still in perfect working order and exterior and interior still looks brand new with no inside garaging. This is my 5th Saturn vehicle and I have had no problems with any of them and I have had all models. Love this car. Stuck in a southern California blizzard once and this car was the only one able to negotiate the freeway safely and did so well I felt like I was driving under normal conditions. Also, really liked the buying experience with Saturn and all the service experiences. This car was very stress free to own

This is the worse van on the market. GM designed this in 2005????? It reminds me of a mid 1990's Chyrsler. It's heavy, seats weigh a ton, under powered -- it's a dog with the 3.5 slow.... Forgrt about the power doors - pull fuse 21, or your batterey will drain every 2 days. The air Conditioning is terrible - with a full charge. My instrument panel looks like Christmas - abs warning - gas cap warning - service light is on - Too much to list . Oh, the gas mileage - 15 mpg overall - take out all the seats - I swear they weigh a 100 pounds each - and you will average 16 mpg. DO NOT BY A RELAY< UPLANDER< MOUNTAINER< OR THE BUICK version. I really believe GM stoped caring and went so cheap with this one. Seats wear and crack after the first year. Gm is doing well now - maybe 2008 - they almost lost the ship - woke them up.

Nothing new, except proof of serious probs that should have resulted in recalls. Numerous prob with ABS and traction control systems going out--replaced sensors four times at a cost of $500+ twice(other two times were under part warranty).Had probs with rotors warping immediately after purchase, replaced at 35000 miles.Also had probs with cupping tires(on third set at 67000 miles).Warped tire rods. Auto door opener stopped working.Lever to fold 3rd broke.Depreciation!Traded this one in last week when we were upside down on the loan by $4000 because it was too costly to keep.Our cost to own this one for 3.5 yrs-over $40,000(purchase of $28000 and the rest in repairs, not incl. gas at 20mpg)
