Used 2002 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
Make sure they are New
5 time Saturn owner looking for a truck. Found a loaded '02 VUE off of a 3 year lease with 24K miles. Everything was great until 50K. Then it was new tires, brakes, cam positioning sensor, front strut mounts and a gremlin in the electrical system. 72K saw new catalytic converter, front strut bushings (sounded like there was a metal on metal grind from the front end, must have been the mounts again) and brakes, again. All covered under warranty. 85K saw new shocks, struts, tires, center support bearing for rear drive, 3 wheel bearings and to top it off a bad ECM! Truck was great when it ran. Solid power, stable and comfortable. Make sure you have a warranty. When it expires, dump it.
Great SUV
Stunning vehicle. The orange looks like a copper penny in the right light. Very impressed with it's size, features, fuel economy and price. Plus it drives better than my Alero. Very spirited driver. Too bad a lot of people forget about Saturn.

Worth the Wait
I ordered my VUE last April. I wanted to upgrade my '94 SW1 and was not willing to leave the Saturn service so I waited. After driving the VUE for a month, I have absolutely no complaints. With manual transmission, I have plenty of power. So far I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small SUV.
Love/Hate relationship
I've had the Vue for 3 yrs and enjoyed until it started having problems at 40k miles. Handles OK in snow. Was able to get up steep hill in 2 in snow with minimal slippage. Gets 19/26 mpg. Love the layout of trunk. Unfortunately needs work now. Hubs bad and thermostat went out last year. Work cheaper to get done by someone other than dealership. Loved it and hoped to own for several years until it started breaking down at so few miles. Wish it didn't have problems.
AWESOME !!!
love it ... fun to drivve ... gets plenty of looks .... Ya just gotta love the orange
