I've had the VUE for 18 months. I have taken it in 4 times to fix the AC. The windows leak air. I have had it towed to the repair shop twice in the last to weeks for shutting off in traffic. I'm now paying to replace the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and the clutch. The car is 4 years old and only has 70,000 miles on it. And sometimes the radio turns off when I try to switch stations.

I'm at 339K now, the heads never been off. Has the Honda eng/trans. Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Repairs have been components other than the engine. AC comp. at 259k, radiator at 271K, alternator at 332K . And batteries and tires. I wish they still made them!!

I bought my 2005 Vue new 13 years ago this month. During those 13 years it only let me down twice, once due to a catalytic converter and a year later the motor blew at 187,000 miles. I was fortunate to get a brand new motor in the car and it has run like a top until this past week when the frame broke. I truly will miss this car. We have travelled over 275,000 miles together. I replaced during the down time the clutch and pressure plate and just last month put all new shocks and struts, wheel bearings (went through a few of those over the years), sway bar links front and rear sway bar. I took great care of this car and had a wonderful mechanic. There will never be another like it.

Saturn Vue; Fun to Drive

The Saturn Vue is surprisingly fun to drive and even with the 4 cylinder 2.2 engine it has plenty of pep. It gets approximately 29 miles per gallon on the road, and has a great sound system for a standard system. Naturally the "view is great and it has unobstructed side windows and rear windows for easy driving. All in all it's an enjoyable driving SUV at an affordable price for those of us who can't afford a Lexus or Land Rover.
Good Car

Early this year I unloaded a 12mpg SUV and was looking for a small SUV. I looked at a number of SUVs and settled on the Saturn Vue. I was also looking at a 4 cyl but the dealer said I would most likely be happy with the 6 cyl. Well I have more than happy with this car. My insurance went down due to the 5 star Saturn crash rating. The mpg is very good considering the engine cranks out 250 horsepower, more than enough when you need it.
