I own 2 VUE's

I have 2 and probably will continue to have at least 2. It does have a design problem when in muddy and wet conditions, but surely this will be attended by the next new model. I have spoken to Jay Wetzel (one of the original Saturn designers, now retired) and he is aware of this design flaw. I do have problems turning the key to start the car. The steering wheel locks, and the key will not turn without a lot of shaking and commotion.

I've had the 2005 VUE V-6 for about 15000 miles. Gas mileage is a consistent 28 highway and 20-22 around town. Good leg room all around... good power when needed. Crash test ratings re high for this vehicle. With all of that factored in, my overall opinion is usually formed when I hit about 120k - 130k miles. If there are no major problems by then, then I'm usually satisfied that I've gotten my money's worth.

I really have enjoyed my Saturn. Matter of fact, this is my third Saturn that I have purchased over the years. With this new Saturn, I do find it hard to be able to clean the seats well. For some reason they leave spots on the seats. I spilt water and there are still stains on there that I can not remove.

Great driving auto.You cant tell the driving lights from the headlights when on. I don't like the gas tank on the passenger side and it is also non locking, where the other saturns are. these are minor things other than that it is a great vehicle. I am glad I purchased it.
