Used 2005 Saturn Relay 2 Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great Choice
This is our 4th Saturn & 1st Minivan (although this is labeled a 'crossover'). Again, Saturn has proven - they know what they are doing. We were skeptical in purchasing a minivan, but the 'SUV' look & Minivan comfort did it for us. Affordable, dependable and we get tons of compliments. Get the Automatic door & DVD Player - it is worth it for the little ones. Great use of space front to back; comfortable seats all around. For those 'anti-minivan folks' - this is a good choice. Adults & kids alike have a great ride whether 15 mins or 5 hours. We are really pleased with our RELAY.
Must have got a good one
Purchased 2005 Relay II new in November 2004. Car has been up and down the east coast. First long distance trip went from DE to CT and back on 3/4 of tank...impressive. As the years and miles went by notice problems. Power sliding door would automatically open when you tried to close it. Suspension problem with left bushing covered under warranty. Lastly, never resolved was the dimming dashboard that was told to be a problem with alternator. This was replaced under warranty but got progressively worse again.

Love my Van
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.
Finally an economical 7 seater
We have only owned this Relay for a short time but we love it. It has more than ample storage and seating space with tons of standard features. We get excellent gas mileage, mp3 capability and a standard DVD player. This van is extremely comfortable and smooth.
Family friendly and easy to buy
It started with our love for our local Saturn dealer who we bought with before. The company has an easy no-haggle sales policy, so I never had to fear being ripped off or my time being wasted by money games. Also our local dealer has an excellent service department. I first bought the Relay 3 FWD but traded it in during my 30 day trade-in satisfaction guarantee period for the Relay 2 model. I enjoy the toy box and added visibility over the bucket seats in the Relay 2 second row. If you have younger children, these are a practical option. I also value Saturn's Bumper to Bumper Extended Warranty program vs. competitors Limited warranties for worry free ownership.
