Used 2002 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
My VUE is a POJ
I have nothing but continued trouble with this vehicle from day 1 including ABS sensors, transmission issues along with many other small problems that seem to "popup" over the time I have owned the vehicle. I would not and will not ever recommend or own a Saturn or VUE again in my life.
Yes, I love my Saturn
This is my second Saturn. My Vue has 97,000 miles on it and has only had one expensive problem. Other than tires/oil changes/routine maintenance the only problems have been a leak around the front passenger door (fixed by Saturn easily) and currently the gas gauge has stopped registering correctly. I have driven hundreds of miles in a day and been comfortable all the way. I am still getting 29 mi/gal highway and decent mileage on in town driving.

The O.K. Saturn
The car has been in the shop for some just misc. items. The tabs in the handles keep coming out. The strut joint in the driverside front has been replaced and needs to be replaced again (design flaw). Service engine soon light came on @ 16000 mi. and they said it was my gas cap but I think it's something else. The antenna also keeps coming loose.
Love this SUV!
This is my second Saturn, and the Saturn dealership experience can't be beat. I can't get over how NICE this VUE is for the price! The handling is precise, the engine is peppy (could use a tiny bit more horsepower but wouldn't necessarily want to sacrifice the great gas mileage.) It has the most comfortable driver's seat of any car I've owned, and its easy for everyone to step in and out of the car (a big plus with kids!) The sport edition with all the "free" upgrades makes for an incredible deal, I'm loving the CD player, sunroof and alloy wheels everyday!
Great Car
Unlike the title says, this is the FWD, not AWD Anyway, acceleration is very quick, not torquey but still quick. The engine approaches the red line very quickly (7000 rpm). The speed can be deceiving, when going 50 it feels like about 30. Braking is good, since it is such a light vehicle. The car handles beautifully, without much sway at all. It feels stable at all time. I was especially surprised by the ride, it was very smooth, much smoother than i was expecting. Back seat space is very limited, people over 6 feet would have problems sitting in the back.
