What a nice VUE

This little SUV has been great for getting around town and hauling people. The 4 cyl engine gets really good mileage and the stick shift helps me keep the little engine in the power curve above 3000 rpm. Low end torque is limited. Have not had a good experience however with sales and service people at Saturn dealers in Northern New Jersey that is why I bought it in Connecticut.

It is truly a pleasure driving such a well built SUV. I got so much more for my money especially in added ammenities. The customer service department at Saturn is well trained to answer any questions that I have about the VUE.

2005 Saturn VUE

In looking for a small, economical SUV for less money, I found the Saturn VUE for less than I thought I would have to pay. Better economy than expected, better ride than others I drove. I love the dash board, the reclining rear seats, the large outside mirrors, and the large window area. Averaging over 26mpg in everyday driving, 30mpg for hiway trips. Has room for all our junk and four people. Love the fact that I can park it anywhere without worring about dings. My Saturn has the 5-speed trans and this improves on its performance, plus the clutch has a light touch, not tiring. It's not the perfect vehicle, but it's perfect for what I need this vehicle to do.

4cyl 5-speed Sport Review

Seems like everyone worries about the big HP cars. We were looking specifically for a 4cyl. Concerned about an 'economy suv', my wife insisted on the power package (16" aluminum rims, 5-speed manual trans, & sunroof). Turns out, if you can live without awd (as folks did all up until recently), the performance of the ecotec 2.2 is impressive. Even better is the maintenance (oil change can be done in 5-minutes without spilling a drop), dent resistant doors (which were tested by a shopping cart the day we took it home), & roomy back seat (at 6- 2, I rode in the back with no problems).Overall, for 'middle class' folks, after 15,000K we have yet to question our choice! 30 mpg hwy didn't hurt either

uncomfortable seats

The person who designed the driver's seat did not sit in it for long periods of time. I drive 3 hrs everyday and at the end of the day have severe back pain, and at the end of the week I have back pain and neck pain. I told this to a coworker who also owns a Saturn and drives almost as much as I do and his answer was " yes, their seats are not comfortable". My son in law owns an ION and has the same complaint about "their seats are uncomfortable".
