Super convenient vehicle

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. It is easy to get into, and to egress. (very important for older individuals) I have heard that the Saturn Vue has mushy steering. I personaly find the steering to be as good as, if not better than, many vehicles I have tried. Acceleration is great (V6), and more than adequate for cross country traveling, and getting out of tight situations. The VUE feels good to drive and is comfortable. I would really recommend the VUE for the more mature set.

When shopping for my SUV, I looked at the RAV4, CRV, and the Ford Escape. The VUE combined the best of all of them, as far as styling and handling. I have a V6 engine, and most of the options, and I think the options really add to the feel of the car; specifically, the larger 17" wheels and the leather seats. The only changes I would suggest would be to move the window controls to the doors (in the front), put "grab- handles" somewhere in the front area near the front passenger's head, and maybe improve lumbar support on the driver's side. I would buy my car over again...it has the feel of a small car and the room and power of a large one. I love it!

SATURN VUE

It's great. I love the plastic panels that make up the exterior doors and quarter panel - they don't ding nor rust. As far as performance and fuel econmy, you'll be hard pressed to find anything else. The Chevy Equinox uses the same platform, but does not handle or perform like the VUE. 250 HP MOTOR.

Vehicle is what I always wanted. Gas mileage not really as indicated by sticker. Around 280-300 miles to the 14.5 gal. tankfull. Overall, handling is very good. Heated seats are the bomb for those who have lower back problems as well as the electronic driver's seat.

My Saturn VUE is really easy to wheel around town and in crowed busy parking lots.So the size is perfect, not too big, yet big enough that everyone has leg and moving around room inside. I do think Saturn could do more to make the car more comfortable instead of so plain. Mechanically, my VUE has been wonderful with no major problems. Also, my dealership has worked really well with me. My son spilled chocolate milk on the backseat floor, and when they could not get the stain out, they replaced the carpet for me. You can rate a Saturn VUE mechanical, looks and dealerships as excellent!
