Saturn Relay for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, available all-wheel drive.

Cons

Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

What’s new

The Relay is an all-new "crossover sport van." Think of it as a minivan with an SUV-like front end.

Edmunds says

Though the Relay features a slick interior and distinctive styling, it doesn't have the on-road finesse of its minivan competitors.

2005 Saturn Relay 2 Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

We have 2 powered doors and have had nothing but problems with them. They have opened while driving 75mph down the highway and GM is refusing to fix them even though we have a 16 page detailed service report of these on going problems. Put the doors aside and the other issues we have had with this very expensive vehicle and it is a great ride. It is a very comfortable and smooth ride. …

2005 Saturn Relay 3, 250k miles, never been towed!

CEW CO, 10/10/2015

2005 Saturn Relay 3 AWD 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Original owner, 250k miles Still runs great and looks great! Love this van! Never been to shop.for repairs except brakes and tires. I wish I could buy more Saturns! I owned other new Saturns Vue 2001, Vue 2006 and Ion Redline 2004 and Ion 2006. They made a great product, that still look good on the road today. All my Saturn's were great cars but the Relay 3 is my favorite little …

Great Minivan

dph414, 10/22/2010

2005 Saturn Relay 3 AWD 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Great Minivan. Almost no problems. Fun to drive, easy to drive. Have problems occasionally with the power sliding doors, and the rear windshield wiper also stopped working. Makes a "Groaning" sound when making sharp or tight turns.

It's Been Good to Me

franmorr1966, 12/26/2010

2005 Saturn Relay 3 Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

This car has been reliable and comfortable. I have nearly 82,000 miles on this car and other than replacing the rear wiper motor (after warranty), the car has only needed normal wear and tear service.
