I got this car since new, it is so much fun to drive. Yes, I have put some money in it but just to keep in "AA" condition, I have about 150,000 miles and I have changed 3 wells bearings, 2 Struts, 3 times brakes pads 3 times new tires & 1 time motor mounts & of course bunch of Oil Changes. As you can see all those are normal things to change for the age and millage. Beside that, there were only a couple annoying little things as water reservoir tank & Gas Cap ( I think they were defective items for this model) I normally change car every 2-3 years but I never been so happy with a car as I am with this. I may keep it for another 2 years.
Budget vehicle. Reliable

I love this vehicle. 4cyl 5speed manual. Had it for 2 years my sister had one with 400,000 miles that's what made me buy one currently got 180,000 miles on mine bought it with 142,000 miles for $1,300 needed a wheel bearing and haven't replaced anything else. I go offloading with it and it's pretty good 2wd does better than any 2wd trucks. I love the seating I'm 6'3 so the seats go way back and people in the back still have room.

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

I have really enjoyed this vehicle @10500 miles. My last vehicle was a 2001 Toyota Highlander LTD AWD so I can compare easily to this Toyota's quality. 1) Fun to drive = Vue; horsepower makes all the difference. Also the VUE suspension is much more tuned to the city/highway driving we all do with very little additional harshness. The Vue carves thru corners. If you go off- road and climb boulders look elsewhere. 2)Interior style and execution. The style/design of the VUE interior is on par with the HL's layout, but the Vue's hard plastic interior does not have the tactile feel of the Hl's fake leather surfaces. 3) Build quality - surprising the VUE is almost as quiet as the HL.
Best Fuel Value in its Class

Since I became the owner of my 2005 Vue, I can truly say it has been worth the purchase. I use mid-grade gas and I can get up to 300 miles to a tank. I have also learned how to maximize my horsepower by down shifting to the lower gears. The versatility and roominess have helped me in carrying my sons and my work load. Keeping it clean has been quit easy. The only problem I have truly had so far is keeping the stains off the fabric. Other than that, this car has been a great addition to our family.
A Great Idea

I purchased my 2005 Saturn Vue V6 FWD after owning a Volvo 240 for 10 years. I chose the car for its interior room, practical design and compact size. I bought it with 109k miles on it and love it. It's a great passenger vehicle with solid metal buckles in the back for car seats, which are very useful. The cargo space is great and despite its looks on the outside, there is plenty of people room on the inside! The V6 will pick up and go when you need it to and ride smoothly on the highway. The suspension can be a little rigid but is tight and has given me no trouble. All in all, I would recommend it to anyone who needs a car with cargo room, fuel economy and enjoys a simply designed car.
