Owned a 1999 Taurus wagon w 3.0 litre push rod motor and at 60 mi/hr it was turning 2,000 rpm.The Saturn with the 3.5 liter OHC (Honda motor) does 75 mi./hr. at 2,000 rpm. Quite the efficiency difference. Drove across the country Cali. to Maryland non-stop Xmas 1998 with alternate driver and got 24.7 mi/gal.

I got a 2006 blue Saturn vue a couple years ago from a guy we trust to sell us the right car. In this instance he did. He lives up to his name. I got into a horrible accident on the freeway yesterday. After the first hit the two cars involved left the scene where my now motionless car stayed stuck 3/4 in the fast lane and 1/4 on the shoulder. After calling the police, turning my hazards on and hearing and feeling all the cars going past me I decide to look back. About 4 cars pass until I see one that doesn’t seem to be merging into the next lane. I look forward setting ready to experience whatever is about to happen and the car hits my rear end head on. They spun my sat around and their car spun out to the other side of the freeway. I could now see all the cars coming at me and that was scary. Police and medics came soon after that. I didn’t know then, but every seat except for mine was crushed. The vue saved my life. It is a highly reliable car and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a used car.

I am just shy of 230K miles on my Jessica. Great and dependable for all these years. So, blessed to have purchased the year it was mae with a Honda engine, reliable. great ride. nice lines. I will be sad the day that I sell this vehicle. But, it's not going to happen yet.

I had to buy an SUV because I own 2 dogs and I had just totaled my 2006 Saturn Ion. I am very happy with Saturn's customer service. The Vue has a lot of power and it accelerates very quickly. Mine is fully loaded with leather and heated seats, so the they are a lot more comfortable than the Ion seats. It rides very smooth, and it sits up high. Gas mileage is great, considering it has a V6 and as much horsepower as a Honda Ridgeline.
