Used 2004 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
SO FAR SO GOOD...MPG?
We bought it Jan 2004. First 11 months it's been fine.I don't like customer service and their service recomendations.You don't need your tires balanced every 6000 miles. The only problems I've had are leg room and MPG.And customer service.I'm 6'4" and if the driver's seat isn't all the way back, my shin hits the underside of the dash. Fortunately, my wife drives it. Unfortunately, I drive a VW JETTA- the worst car on earth. And what's up with the MPG? I'm getting 19 or so. IT'S A 4 CYL!!! I could understand if it was a fast 4 cyl, but the thing won't get out of its own way (Especially with the air on).They can't tell EVERYONE that it's because of our driving habits....Can they?
disappointed
A real disappointment, especially with the mileage. It promised 23/28, and it is closer to 16/19. The dealer siad there was nothing wrong with the car and nothing they could do about it. Have also had the door fixed, windshield cleaner valves fixed with only 3000 miles.

Becomes Junk after 30,000 Miles
For the first 6 months, the VUE is great. It still turns heads, but it has become a 7 month-long nightmare of constant front end, suspension, and steering problems. Anything but freshly paved roads is not recommended. The interior is exceptionally noisy. The steering and suspension always rattles, and Saturn calls this "Normal." Many VUE owners agree. VUE's have rather pathetic build quality. I do not recommend the Saturn VUE to ANYONE. For a complete breakdown of all the VUE's constant problems, you can visit Saturnalia and choose the VUE Forum. This will help you make your decision to NOT purchase a Saturn VUE.
Don't buy.. Too many Suspension Problems
Within 4 days of buying has to go into the shop for the front suspension. fixed broken tork bar but didn't fix problem took in in again one day later said could not find problem and that I had 36,000 miles on warranty so not to worry about it. Four days after that took it in again this time broken strut mount... it has now been 2 months and it is in the shop again Whole new front suspension...was told that they have been replacing alot of them
Just Average
Not much to look at inside and out. The seats are aveage in comfort. It is an A to B vehicle. Average is the best discription of this SUV.
