Saturn VUE

Feels like driving an SUV but handles like a car. No frills for families with kids that love to play with everything....keeps things simple for the easily distracted parents. Seats are very comfortable and you can barely tell you are driving over bumps. This car is a keeper. Love the fact that I can park in the garage and my doors cannot be scratched/dented by the kids' bikes and even if this happens Saturn makes replacing the door panels very easy.

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!

After driving numerous other Saturns including the SL2 and L-Series, I fell in love with this one - the Vue.

A different point of VUE

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.

Underpowered, Uncomfortable, Junk Saturn

This is the worst vehicle I've ever owned. Around 25,000 miles, the wheel bearings started to go out, at $700 per wheel. By 43,000 miles, the transmission needed rebuilt, which GM did under a recall warranty. I traded the vehicle in shortly afterward. Even before the issues, this vehicle was slow, with a choppy, unrefined engine, and it feels "cheap" on the inside. Squeaky, cheap plastic is the typical choice in this car. I would not recommend it in any way.
