Used 2005 Saturn VUE Base Consumer Reviews
Vue
My wife loves this car and with a new baby on the way it will meet all our needs.
Will never buy another Saturn
We have had our 2005 Saturn Vue for a little over 2 years. We have taken it in countless times for poor mileage, hesitation, etc. Now at 45000 the wheel bearings have gone. If the service department was at all helpful - at any Saturn Dealership we have been to - it would have been a more bearable experience. However, we recieve no solutions to our problems and Saturn will not pay for the wheel bearings either - surely this was part of some of our earlier problems. Also, this car is noisy.. despite it's hefty original purchase price of over $26K - we would have gotten a whole lot more out of our money if we had spent a few more thousand on a BMW or Mercedes in the same class. NEVER AGAIN!

2004 Saturn Vue V-6 model
Saturn has built another great vehicle. With lots of power, great handling, and good looks; it's hard to go wrong with a Saturn VUE. It rides very comfortably, dampens out road noise extremely well, and handles like a champ. When you need the power to get up and go, it's there. The all-wheel drive with independent suspension is awsome. Plenty of room in the front and back seats and the cargo space handles most anything I have tried to put in it. Good standard stero package and the option to have a sunroof. For an SUV, the gas mileage is pretty good; just don't expect to get 30 mpg. I average 21 city & 26 highway mpg.
No more Saturns for this family
At 45K miles we have a Vue which is unsafe to drive. We spent over 26K and expected a worthwhile, safe, economical vehicle. After taking the car into the 2 separate Saturn dealerships for engine noise, hesitation, poor mpg, etc.. while under warranty nothing could be found. Now, we are told the brake caliper is shot as well as the torque converter- over $2000 in repairs and Saturn wants us to foot the bill for at least parts. We are battling it out with the Saturn Corporate- they are not so customer friendly when you have problems with your vehicle. Right now, we are just glad the brakes did not complelety fail with our 2 year old in the car! We should have spent a few more dollars on an X5.
Love the Saturn Vue
I first drove a Saturn Vue rental in 2007 when I went on an unexpected road trip. I was impressed with the comfort and performance. My daughter and I felt safe and the vehicle handled so well. In addition, it is so easy to get in and out of the vehicle without having to struggle.
