I am a college girl and my Saturn is perfect for that. It is a cute and sporty SUV and has just enough room to hall stuff to and from college.

I am averaging only 21 mph even thou the vehicle states 21-27 mph on the 4 cylinder. The horn design is unsafe. At night you cannot tell where to activate the horn. The engine due to the transmission design is very noisy until you have reached the desired speed. Overall I would rate the vehicle just average. The fuel pump was noisy and was replaced within the first six weeks of use.

Worst Transmission Ever

We bought this used, 85,000 miles on it, 30,000 later we learned that the transmission had a fracture and was leaking fluid. Beacuse no mechanic wants to take the things apart, it wasn't learned of until it was too late. We replaced it with a brand new transmission ($7000), and about 18,000 miles later it became completely fubar from the inside. Now we have no choice but to sell it and hope and pray the warranty we have will help us. I'm moving onto the 09 CR-V

We have had our Vue almost four months and we love it. So convenient and fun. We get stopped all the time by people who want to see it or ask questions. We have had no repair issues so far and we love our Saturn dealer!

We have had our VUE for about 6 months and we are very pleased with it. The engine has a lot of power for it's size and is very responsive. We drive a lot of hours and the seats are very comfortable. Gas mileage is great too, we don't see a big difference between or VUE and the Civic that we used to drive. Plus, it's just so darn cute! However, this is not an off-road vehicle;if you need off road capabilities, look elsewhere.
