Used 2002 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 5M) 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.
O.K. thus far
have had minivans prior, so comfort is lacking for my 6'4 frame. Dealership is still in question. Hope all is well for the long term.

You Get What You Pay For!
My 2 yr old Vue has been into the shop for many problems: the AC leaked into the interior, (I was told this was normal), the breaks sqeek, (again, normal), I need to double shift to get the car into 1st, (again, normal), the front struts needs replacing, and finally the ceiling fabric and lights came crashing down after the dealership screwed that up. This not including the 12 times we have been back to the dealership after they either scratched the paint, floor boards, and radio or got grease on the seats. Finally, Saturn doesn't want to be bothered once you purchase the car. I'll never by another GM, let alone another Saturn.
Saturn VUE stability in question
I've owned my Saturn VUE for 5 almost 6 years. I have had issues with stability on the highway on windy days and with potholes or uneven freeways. It almost rolled over once and that was very scary. I'm not a speedy driver either. I took it in and they adjusted the alignment and it helped somewhat but I've been scared to drive it ever since. I've also had issues with air conditioning fluid leaking onto my feet from the console. Have reported this several, several times and nothing was done about it. The tires are not good in the snow.
2002 Saturn Vue 4 cyl 5 speed reliable
At the ripe old age of 65 and having been involved with auto repairs and sales most all of those years I must say that the 2002' Saturn Vue 4 cylinder 5-speed manual is a great bargain. I have owned too many vehicles to count. At 120k miles it uses no oil and in the last 20k that we have owned it, 1-exhaust hanger is the only repair. It has had full synthetic oil since it was born. 5-speed shifter is a bit notchy but adequate.
