Loved My Saturn View

This small SUV was the very best car I ever owned in all my 76 years. I felt safe in this car, It was roomy enough for all my grandkids sports gear and three grand children. It handles very well and was quiet. It kept its good looks for 17 years and still handles very well. It was a work horse of a car. I had to turn it in after 17 years only because I could not afford to get the frame welded. If I could I would have and kept it for as long as it or I lasted. Love you Saturn Vue.

This was my dream vehicle. As to date, I have had to change the rotors 3 times and resurfaced 1 time. The pads have also be changed a few times. The selonoid gauge in the gas tank bangs really load and that is said to be normal. You hear more squeeks than children in the back seat. I also had to replace the strutt assembly because of noise. This car seems to have fallen apart after its first year of life. What a lemon I got!

I have had my VUE for almost 2 years now and it's the best vehicle I have ever had. Other than one little battery problem that my local dealership had trouble figuring out, no problems otherwise.

We purchased this vehicle as we are expecting our second child, and need more space for the second car seat. This SUV fits the bill perfectly. Spacious, with a nice ride. I feel very comfortable driving this vehicle. It does steer a bit like a boat, but I got used to that right away. We needed to save some money, too, and the lease affords us a savings of $100 less per month than what we were paying for our Mazda Protege 5. We enjoy this SUV very much!

This car needs repair but currently is very reliable, and runs great. This car needs an oil pan gasket, engine mounts, and one front rotor replaced due to the current rotor being warped a little bit.
