One of the best we ever had

Our 2005 Saturn Vue has been fun to drive for 4 years now. It is so comfortable and getting in the back seat is a breeze. We've had no repairs and had to replace tires at 60,000. It has a little more noise than some but all the other nice thin gs far outweigh that. We hope we can drive this on as long as possible.

I tested this car against the Jeep Liberty and Honda CRV. Although the Jeep felt tighter and more refined overall, the Vue was much more comfortable and easier to handle. The Vue also offers more interior space than either the Jeep or the Honda. Although I've only had the vehicle a short time, I expect that the Honda engine will more than stand the test of time. We also own a 2000 Saturn L200, which has given us five years of carefree service; we certainly expect the same of the VUE.

Good SUV

Great Honda V6 engine is smooth & fast. Gas mileage is pretty good for a V6 SUV. It is fun to drive with great a view of the road. There is an ease in entering & exiting the vehicle. Its smart engine advises you when an oil change is nececessary, usually every 10K. The only down side is the cheap interior materials.

This car helped make driving in the snow a less frightening experience; handling so well. It was also comfortable to drive, got good gas mileage, handled beautifully, sat solid on the road. I lost it in a divorce and would love to have another one, but can't afford it. My daughter and her husband bought a Saturn Vue because they liked ours so well. They were expecting and liked all the features the Vue had to offer for their new baby. It holds so much; we've taken it on several trips and it carried everything we needed. I highly recommend the Vue.

Lots of Problems

I have owned this vehicle for almost 5 years and have had multiple problems. While under warranty, the windshield washer pumps on the front and back went out. Had them replaced only to go out again within 2 months. Dealer wouldn't replace that time due to the warranty expiring between the two occurrences. Strut assembly has been replaced twice and still makes lots of "crunching" noises. Also had gas cap seating problems and multiple oil leaks. Will be "divorcing" my Vue very shortly.
