Used 2004 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Best One Out There
04 FWD V6, We wanted something more reliable than our "ol' sludger", Toyota Sienna. We stumbled upon the 04 VUE and really liked it. Plenty of space for a "small" SUV--this looks much more like a mid-size SUV, extremely quick with the Honda 3.5L V6 engine. The redesigned dash is much more appealing and doesn't look like the old S-Series any longer. Plenty of leg room! Can't be beat for a $23K price tag, $25K with leater, moonroof, power seats and MP3 player. The Higlander was too much money and the Escape costs too much to fix the brakes (read other posts here at Edmunds). Good gas milage for a big powerful V6, 25MPG.
yes...
maybe I got lucky. 200,000 miles with little to no repair above expected. cosmetically, it blows. poor drainage design. lots of moisture inside. noisy. however, solid vehicle. good return on investment. engine solid and it gets you to work. 15 years and counting.

2004 Vue is Excellent!!
After test driving many vehicles, including the Ford Escape and the Nissan Xterra, I bought my VUE. This car, although I only have had it less than a month, is awesome. It has excellent power - 6.5 seconds for 0-60. As well, the interior is very easy to fall in love with and has made marked improvements from 2003 (which I test drove as well and decided to wait). The new material has really made the ride smooth and QUIET - even under hard accelleration.
New Saturn VUE is a blast!
Very fun to drive! Nice contemporary leather interior and powerful enough to get us up to our mountain home. The steering system seems great to me - in fact the first thing I noticed was how easy it was to steer. Very easy and pleasant to drive overall.
