Disappointed
After owning a Grand Cherokee with over 200K (with no issues, we bought what we thought would be a great vehicle, but... We love the design and comfort. From the day we got it though, there have been a string of mechanical problems. From the service engine light on and off all of the time, to the transmission slipping. It cost nearly $1000 to replace the alternator b/c the part had to come from Saturn and the engine had to be moved just to get to it. Now it needs a wheel hub and a water pump. The suspension is very noisy as well. I wish GM had put the right drivetrain in it they would have had a winner!

A Fine SUV
A great suv for a small family. I live in northern Maine and the vehicle has worked flawlessly. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a compact suv with real world usefullness. I owned a 01 RAV4 prior to the VUE. The VUE is alot more usefull and alot tougher suv than the RAV every was!!
Fantastic value
The beauty of the interior is in its utter simplicity. My VUE has proven to be amazingly utilitarian and wonderfully proportioned for its class. The 6 cyl is peppy and smooth, and it handles like a sporty car! The exterior style is just right. I'm a little disappointed they made the grille styling so car-like on the new models, but I would buy another one without hesitation!
Great Car for the Money
I purchased the vehicle in May and since then I've been extremely happy with the suv. I looked into several other competing vehicles (Ford Escape, Hyundai Santa Fe and the Honda CRV), but nothing really came close to the price. You get the best bang for you buck and the sales people we're extremely helpful and friendly. I love the power, but on a quick take off it, the rpm's rev up quite a bit. Overall I highly recommend the Vue especially since not to many people drive it since it's new. It's a great feeling being the only Saturn Vue on the road when you see at least 10-15 CRV's and Escapes all over the place.
