GMs hidden gem

2005 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

The 2006 Saturn VUE Red Line must be one of GM's best kept secrets. From the smooth powerful drivetrain, to the cool Red Line styling, what's not to like? The VUE's looks get rave reviews from most everyone who has seen it, but most don't even know what it is. The new ebony interior really enhances the interior, and the white (black at night) guages really add to the package. The electric steering is much better than expected, and the ride is just fine considering the enhanced handling that the Red Line package offers. Room in the back seat is the biggest surprise - lots of room for a 6'2" teenager.

I purchased my VUE based on other peoples experience of the brand being reliable. The one I purchased was not. The 3rd member started making gear noise at 17K miles and was warranty replaced by Saturn. At 26K miles gear noise in 3rd member was back again. Local Saturn dealership claimed they couldn't hear the noise every time I took the VUE in for routine maintainence right up until the warranty expired. At 29K miles the CD played started having problems. At 31K miles warranty work had to be performed on the front suspension (it turned out to be a direct from the factory problem). At 34K miles water leaked in around the windows during rain. At 45K miles I'd had enough and dumped the VUE.

I Love My New Saturn Vue!

Driving has become so much more comfortable and more pleasant, since I bought my Saturn Vue. I easily get in and out of the car, due to its height being neither too low nor too high. My senior citizen and handicapped mom can also get in and out of the car, without my having to lower her in or haul her out. I can see the road, no longer feeling as if I were driving in a hole, surrounded by taller vehicles. The seat supports my back comfortably, allowing me to drive without the old pains. The car handles well, offers comfort to my passengers in the back seats, affords plenty of "trunk" space, and offers a terrific sound system. The whole family loves this car!

Owning this car has been a great experience. Overall handling is absolutely great. The Interior could use some added features (Storage compartments around the stick) which I noticed they did on the newer models but for the most part it has lots of room (Love the pop-up grocery carrier). Great mpg's for this car although it could be improved. I'm sure they have done this with the newer models as well. As an owner I love this car. No problems with it so far.
Fun to Drive

I bought my Saturn Vue Red Line this past Labor Day. It's fun to drive, great acceleration and smooth meshing of transmission and engine. Saturn did a good thing by using Honda's 250 horsepower engine and trasmission. MPG highway is about 26 miles per gallon, and city about 18-20. Not bad for an SUV with this type of get up and go.
