Saturn Vue; Fun to Drive

2005 Saturn VUE Fwd 4dr SUV (2.2L 4cyl 5M)

The Saturn Vue is surprisingly fun to drive and even with the 4 cylinder 2.2 engine it has plenty of pep. It gets approximately 29 miles per gallon on the road, and has a great sound system for a standard system. Naturally the "view is great and it has unobstructed side windows and rear windows for easy driving. All in all it's an enjoyable driving SUV at an affordable price for those of us who can't afford a Lexus or Land Rover.

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.

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.

You get what you pay for

I traded in my truck for this Vue when the gas prices were sky high. I had owned a Saturn before, so I knew what I was getting. I didn't pay much for the Vue. It's about what I expected. I bought the car with 30,000 miles on it. It now has 80,000. I've had the A/C repaired. That's about it. It's just a car. Nothing fancy. I think it's funny when people review these things like they were built by Mercedes Benz and then complain when any little thing goes wrong. You bought a Saturn, not a Mercedes. You got what you paid for.

Saturn VUE: Low price, great value

I paid just $16,700 for my VUE. And for that very low price I got a reliable, fun to drive, comfortable and safe small SUV with plenty of extras. Like included electric sunroof, power windows and locks, keyless entry, cruise, tach, temp guage, AC, rear defrost, power mirrors, compass and outside temp, premium sound with CD and MP3, full fold-down seats, rear wiper and washer, 17" alloys wheels with BR Goodrich tires, no rust and no dent side panels and lots more I can't even remember. I get 30 mpg or more on the highway! You can't beat the combination in this car. If you want cheap, stylish, fun, good and safe look at a VUE.
