Used 2005 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
1st time Saturn buyer
I was really concerned when buying the VUE because of what I had heard from Edmunds and primarily Consumer Reports on the "lack of reliability". I have been completely satisfied! When you look deeper into the analysis (especially CR) they don't say anything that is specifically unreliable. We have had excellent results and it is a quality ride.
2005 FWD 6cyl VUE
Great vehicle for running errands close to home and for long trips. Very fun to drive! I have owned several Saturns prior and this seems to be comparable in quality to the others. The Honda 250 hp engine is fantastic with plenty of pickup for passing and hauling. Overall, very good to excellent buy for the price!

Remarkable workmanship
It handles really well especially on the interstate road, and also I am not really accustomed to drive electric power steering system and it is awesome that how sensitive she handles on the road. Gas mileage is really superb - 25 miles on highway and 19 miles in city. I have arthritis am overweight it's easy for me to get in and out of the Vue.
alternative to CR-V
After seriously considering the CR-V and Element from Honda, the option to get a Honda-made V6 renewed our interest in the Vue. This is our second Saturn ('98 SL2), and I can say that the designers have improved on earlier deficiencies- better soundproofing. Nice gauge cluster with aluminum trim. Center controls (small buttons) will be tested with winter gloves - but probably not too much, as the heat is quick & heated seats are toasty. It's a quality car for the money. I'm hoping for Honda gas mileage, but not seeing it yet (21 ave MPG). Roomy rear seats, easy to fold down, cargo bin functional, but seems cheap (plastic interior comments are true, but it's not a Lexus); tight ride.
great suv finally hits the market
This car has been a great eye opener- alot of people stop and ask me if I like it. I tell them its great-fun to drive easy to drive and has great pickup and speed-Its not afraid to move out when I hit the gas.
