Used 2005 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Beyond Expectations
We purchased a Saturn VUE in December of 2005 and have driven it about 1500 miles. It has been exciting to drive with the Honda V-6 engine and is very comfortable for a 250# man to drive and sit for long periods of time. The mileage is amazing, it gets 22 mpg in town and about 28mpg on the road at 65 miles per hour with the cruise control on. The back seats are a little tricky to put up and down, you have to be a little patient with the back seat lever. One great little add is the Organizer that pops up to form two plastic bins to put your groceries into. We love this SUV and it suits our lifestyle to a tee. We owned a bigger Ford SUV for 10 years and we like this one better.
Nice SUV - Not the best.
This is a good SUV. I love the Honda V6. Brakes (calipers)rattle,relaying noise thru steering column - dealer can't fix it. Saturn could do better job to dampen noise level on the road. Gas mileage is pretty good - 19 city, 24+ highway.

VUE for you
I have just purchased my VUE and so far I am very pleased with it. It is the perfect vehicle for a family with small children. The 250hp engine and the storage bin organizer located in the rear are two great features of this vehicle. OnStar is available on all GM vehicles but it optional. On the VUE it is standard. Gas mileage is great. There are a lot of accessories and packages to choose from. I test drove the Pontiac Torrent, Ford Escape and the Chevrolet Equinox. The Saturn won hands down because of its safety rating and price. Looking for a family oriented vehicle along with safety, value and affordability then the Vue is for you.
My first Saturn
What can I say. I went from a Honda civic to a Saturn for more room. I bought the Vue for the V6 and decent gas mileage. I was a little freaked out at first because of the mileage. But it is starting to break in and I just got 25mpg. I also must admit that I drive like a bat outta hell, so this is excellent for my drive style. Anyone else would probably get 28 or 29. You don't realize you are going so fast. It has great pick up.
Great ride for a great price!
This is a fantastic SUV. Lots of room, very versatile. Smooth ride, lots of pick up on acceleration and excellent braking. Sharp looking with roof rack and chrome package. Quiet ride!
