Used 2003 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Fun car to drive until 100,000 miles
I bought my Vue brand new 5 years ago. Fun to drive, easy to carry large cargo and to transport adults with limited mobility. Once the car hit 100,000 it fell apart. I have replaced the transmission at 100,000, accelerator sensor, catilytic converter and exhaust valve, coil pack with spark plugs. Within the past year I had to replace the ignition and when the car was under warranty a cylinder head was replaced. After $10,000 in repairs, I would not consider another Saturn.
Get the 4cyl 5sp Saturn Vue
I stopped by the local Saturn dealer to take a look at the Vue when it came out, not really expecting to purchase the vehicle since I expected lousy gas mileage. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the EPA estimate. We find the vehicle much better than the Honda or Toyota because of the road manners, carrying capability, turn radius,unique look and the hidden spare tire. We really don't like the spare tire on the tailgate for safety and security concerns. We live in Florida and basicly use the vehicle on paved roads our Vue handles the torential rain storms very well. The folks at the Dealer service center are EXXXXcelent!!!!

Very Happy
I bought my VUE in November 2002 and am very happy with both the car and the buying experience at Saturn. I've always driven cars (Nissan) and was not really interest in a an SUV until a friend suggested I look at the VUE. My wife and I have taken it on several long trips and driven in very poor weather and was more than impressed with the way it handled (the $600 for ABS and antilock brakes was well worth it). For an inexpensive SUV I don't think you can beat it....I found the Toyota RAV 4 to be small and cramped compared to the VUE, not to mention my dissatifaction with the way I was treated at the Toyot dealership.
Lovin the VUE
I just bought this car, but I am loving it already. I have the V4 manual, and it is FAR superior to the V6 automatic of the same vintage. It's got a lot more pickup and spunk than its counterpart - so if you are interested in this model/year/make, and know how to drive a stick, buy this one. It's got all the bells and whistles I could want except an MP3 jack and in-dash CD changer, but that is an outside upgrade anyhow. Tons of space and a really nice ride...I highly recommend it!
Great Choice of a Car
I have now owned this car for a little over a year and still to this day I have no reservations about buying this car, it gets me where I need to go and with great gas milleage (which is good for a college student!!!!)
