Great vehicle. Trouble free, very comfortable. Is used as a "Toad" for my motorhome. Tows very well. Great value for the money. We also generally drive with 4 people, and all are comfortable. Lots of room for my 6'3" frame. I have "sold" many to my RV-ing friends.

Right Car for me

I have had my new VUE for over a month and have been very happy with it. I think the car is a great deal for the money. It has all the features (V6,AWD, 5A) that foriegn car makers are charging 10K more for. I had a problem with the exhaust that was fixed quickly by the dealer with no complaints. Would be happy to recommend the car to anyone interested. Much better than RAV4, CRV, Liberty, Escape.

Always been a GM buyer

I have always been a GM buyer, but the prices on Chevy and Pontiacs were a shock! I had heard about Saturns but didn't never looked at them. One Sunday I managed to get my husband to drive on to a Saturn lot and we were suprised at all the features you could get at an up front price. When we went into the showroom we couldn't believe it when they handed us a price sheet and we could basically build our own car! All the prices were in front of you! When we picked up the car it was an expirence never before felt with any other car purchase. I have 4 kids and their first cars will all be Saturns!

Sleek exterior hides major safety flaws

Initial impression A+, good power V6 AWD, already used in snow. I have cont'd unresolved issues w/Dealer who's promised heat element for driver's seat since 06/04, it's now 09/04. Wanted Redline model on floor, dealer told me it was "promised to someone. Now glad I didnt get it. Value has dropped from $25,000 to approx $19,200 trade value in 5 mos. Saturn's recall is not a joke, but a potential serious accident waiting to happen. Inquired when extra support available for rear suspension (rear tires folded on safety test in fishhook maneuver), was told could be up to a 1yr. Over 200,000 vehicles recalled. Increased rollover risk w/suspension failure.

Fine ergonomics

The engine and trans work smoothly and all the switchgear is easily located for a right hander. I have first hand knowledge of the benefits of the exterior plastic skin, which again, was very appealing. But the extensive use of cheap looking materials on the interior, turned me off all together, so I didn't buy this product.
