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 love my Saturn!

The fact that ours is a standard allows us to get better than average gas mileage. The best thing, though, is that we can fit everything we need for our three small children (ages 4 and under. Plus the dog! My husband is 6'3" and he fits in it comfortably. And the seats driver's seat adjusts completely. I was able to get in and out comfortably two days after having our second two children by c-section and could drive comfortably even at 8 and 9 months pregnant with our third! This vehicle is great for families with up to three children. And the safety ratings are very good. There are child locks on the back doors and you can lock the windows so that they are controlled only from the front.

Awesome vehicle... This is my 4th Saturn, and this is the best of all. Great ride, lots of room, 28MPG with the 4 cylinder manual. Great deal with the sport II package. Cost the same as my 2000 SL2, but is a much bigger, better car. Great service from the dealer.

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.
