Used 2002 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
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!
Saturn wasn't on the radar screen
I wasn't even thinking about a Saturn when I took the wife's van in for service across the street from a dealer. I had time to kill and went over to look at the VUE since I was semi "in the market" to replace my 2000 Ford ZX2 with something larger. I get Fords at invoice through my employer but that couldn't beat the introductory price of the 4cyl/5-speed VUE with all of the "free" equipment. I've driven Escapes, Libertys, Rodeo Sports, 4 Runners, and I really liked the VUE. For the feel of quality it has at the price I paid, $17065 with the power package, am/fm/cd upgrade, alloy wheels, floor mats and the power sunroof, it is the best deal out there.

Saturn Vue Lemon
I bought my used 2002 Saturn Vue AWD in 2007 from a Saturn dealer in Downers Grove. It had 53,000 miles on it. From the start it had problems--a loud whining noise which was the vacuum. Then the ABS light went on, along with a fluid leak under the engine The service engine soon light went on with loss of power. I took it to a Saturn dealer in Savoy. They put in a new water pump/wheel speed sensors/hub assembly. That took care of some problems. I took it in seven times to get the service engine soon light and hesitation/loss of power problem solved. It never was solved and my engine ended up ruined with metal shavings in it. I need a new engine-big bucks. I will never buy a Saturn again.
Still crying.........................
I now need to replace the transmission for the 3rd time in my 2002 VUE. GM will assist with 30 percent but the transmission will cost more than what I owe on the car. It is hard for me to understand the cost of the transmission because GM is well aware the transmission was not designed well and there have been numerous failures of the transmission. Go figure I wanted to stay with American made. I will now have to park and pay for a car I can not drive but still responsible to pay for. Just shoot me!!
