I bought this car used for my kids to drive. It was loaded with all bells a whistles. It had 100k miles on it when we got it. We have driven it for 5+ years now. Had to do some normal maintenance, belts, brakes, couple things. It now has 152,000 on it. So I had a bit of a decision to make now. It needed lots of work, primarily new brake pads, and drums, rear shocks mainly from rust, had to repair front wheel well frame from rust etc. couple other minor things to pass inspection. Bottom line it was about $1200 of work. That's what you get with a 13 year old car in the northeast. My guy says that it actually in good shape mechanically and is pretty solid to go after the repairs. So I did it. Its a fun car to drive and hey it would cost me a lot more to buy another used car. I know what has been done and whats been put into it and with the Honda engine, drive train and tranny I am betting on over 200k. It is has its noises and rattles but it is a good car. Hopefully the $1200 spent keeps it going strong.

Not A Satisfied Vue Owner

Interior quality stinks. Rattles all over the place,most of which can't be fixed according to the shop. Drivers seat (leather, heated) is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever sat on. My back hurts all the time. This will definitely be my first and only Saturn product. Once I left the showroom with my car the only thing the salesman worried about was that I give him a good rating. Haven't heard from him since and he knows I am having major problems.
So far so good

I bought my Vue new in 2004 and now have 102,000 miles - almost exclusively highway miles. Overall, I am satisfied with the vehicle. Engine is fantastic - nice power and mileage. I have not had any significant maintenance expenses until recently. My biggest complaint are the brakes - really bad front pulsations that require the rotors to be refinished every 12K miles. Just replaced front stab bar links (very creaky) and right rear wheel bearing/hub assembly - it was producing very loud road noise. I plan on keeping this vehicle as long as I can and so far it has been a nice car. I just wish I knew of a better front brake combination than OEM parts.
Quality Powertrain vs Junky Parts

I really liked the matched Honda engine,transmission, and rear axle that came with my 2004 VUE. Had many quality issues. Rear wiper motor. Front headlight assembly. Remote keyless entry. Instrument cluster RPM guage lights on half went out. Dealer wanted over $200.00 to just look at the problem. Rear suspension recall. Front wheel bearing had to be replaced The car is very peppy and drives well.
