Wanted roomy 4 door, easy to get in and out of (am 6' 3"). Don't need 4 wheel drive but did want front wheel drive with limited slip differential. Honda engine with 5 speed tranny a big plus. Good fuel economy. $4,000 rebate off trade price a big plus. Like fold down right front seat. Is very smooth and quiet on the road. 1500 rpms is 60 mph. Dampens bumps very but there is some road noise.

My Saturn / My piece of junk

I've had problems from day one with my Saturn Vue. I'm still trying to get out of my lease. There are parts of the interior that are broken (air vent). I cut myself on the back door edge. It handles very poorly in the rain. The puddles pull it all over the road as if the car is too light. The tires will not keep the correct amount of air pressure on the passenger side.Why!? My model is a 5 speed manual. It's difficult to put into first and second gear. I've owned three Saturns since 2000. I currently own a Saturn Ion and Saturn Vue.I think the quality and customer service satisfaction has really gone down hill. I will no longer recommend buying Saturns to anyone.

Saturn has a hard to find configuration - 4 cyl engine and a manual transmission. Great on gas! Best price over all other SUVs.

The only complaint I have about the car is the 4 cylinder is a little bit loud. Reality is that it is a 4c and a large vehicle. You can't find a better SUV for the dollar. I tried all the other ones

I purchased this VUE in 2004. It has too many problems to list. VUE was purchased with a 6 year 60,000 mile warrenty and was maintained every 3000 miles by the dealer. A short list of problems include: Fuel guage accuracy, suspension links replaced, noises in stero speakers, noises behind speedometer, security system failure causing failure to start, clutch failure won't shift into first gear in cold weather. With 1.9% interest rate I'm still upside down. Do not ever buy a Saturn.
