Best car that I have owned

I bought this VUE after trading in a 2003 ION which I had a lot of problems with. It was worth losing a little bit of money to gain the VUE. I have had no problems with this VUE. This VUE has great looks, and performs really well. I got 30mpg on the road and about 19mpg around town. Just recently my wife was rearended and she hit the person in front of her and the VUE did great with only a few scrathes on back and a bent plastic chrome in front. The Blazer that hit her was in bad shape.This VUE is the best new car that we have owned for reliability and safety.

Tire size causes some problems

The only problem I've had with the VUE is replacement tires! The tires that came with the VUE don't perform well in wet weather and if it snows they are terrible, and I have all wheel drive. If you are putting 17 inch wheels on a vehicle at least have a selection of tires to buy. The Bridgestones that came with the vechicle are not a good fit!

My VUE

I am definitely having a great time driving this car and I'm looking forward to long trips. The VUE is my 3rd Saturn car. I've driven a compact and sedan, and now an SUV. The transition was smooth, driving adjustment was minor, and I felt confident and safe in driving a bigger car. Gas mileage is pretty good. There's very good visbility, rear and side, with no view obstructions. Brake response is reliable.

The 2005 VUE is a pleasure to drive. It is balanced, and has the power to stay on the road with the biggest SUV's out there. The Saturn Vue it is also very economical too! I drive with my family becasue we do not prefer to fly. We have been to Natchez Mississippi, Denver, and Little Rock. We have driven to San Francisco several times and the Vue handles like a dream. My next family car will be a Saturn. By the way, my wife drives a Saturn SL2.
