Used 2003 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
Still brand new, but loving every minute
Only had Vue for 2 weeks, but am loving it! Had to keep payments cheap so opted for FWD4 w/ VTi Automatic trans. Was wary of this at first...a mid-sized SUV powered by a 4-cyl., but it's very peppy! Rides smooth, & you can't feel it shift w/ the variable trans.. Since we couldn't afford 4-wheel drive, I was drawn to the Vue because the 2-wheel drive models are FRONT wheel drive, which is safer than most rear-wheel SUV's. This car has great safety ratings! Very nice gas mileage too. The only complaint is the door panels on the inside. Construction seems cheap. But this car is economical, but no compromise on safety, comfort, & space.
Excellent Saturn Vue
Rides very quietly and smooth. Comfortable for traveling and very spacious. Saturn company tries to satisfy customers to the max...

What a Vue!
My wife bought a Saturn L200 series a couple of weeks ago. When I was looking around the showroom the Vue caught my eye. To make a long story short I bought it. So far, everything is just great. It handles fine with quick response. Everything is within easy reach. The salespeople were great. For the first time buying a car was a pleasent experience.
First Impressions
Went to the dealership after an exhaustive research/test drive process. Others considered, Santa Fe (questionable reliability/poor customer service), Honda CRV (arrogant sales staff/lowballed trade/no rebates), Ford Escape (poor reliability, overpriced), Chevy Tracker (too small), Toyota Rav4 (too expensive). We got the Vue for way under 20,000 clams and it's loaded. Also purchased the extended warranty. The car drives great, is quiet at speeds (even highway), holds more stuff and actually fits "3" adults in back or in our case 2 car seats with room for a passenger. Wife loves it!! So do I!!
My views on the VEW
At firstI was not to taken with the VEW however over time I have become quite fond of it. On the highway it holds the road well. I have not really had it of road enough to qulify it. I am not overly enthused with it's gas milage and If you are runing around 50mph with the front windows up and the back down (so your dog can enjoy the ride)the vibration from the door panels flexing is deffening.[ this does not occure with all windows open or closed.] If you are planing to use it only in town you might consider the 4cyl. I have the 6cyl with AWD and am quite happy with it but will tell you more when I reach 100,000.
