Overall, I have been happy with the vehicle. The V6 power is great when you step on the gas and the transmission is silky smooth - even after 45,000 miles. I'm still on the original tires, but am searching for info on replacements (preferable something more snow-friendly). My biggest complaint revolves around the issue of noise: road noise, chassis noise, mysterious interior creaks and rattles, and wind noise. I also have a 2006 Honda Odyssey (same engine as the Saturn) and the difference in noise is night and day.
Over 200,000 miles

I just surpassed 200,000 miles and have only had to replace minor things that you’d expect at this mileage. She’s still going strong. I’d buy another.

This is my fourth Saturn (SW2 and two LW300s), and this is a great SUV. With the combination of Honda drivetrain, polymer body panels, and Saturn buying experience, it pretty much left the competition out of the running. It drives and handles great, has terrific acceleration, will easily tow my Harley Sportster, easy to get into and out of, and the MPG is terrific considering the performance of this 4900-pound vehicle. I've added 18" wheels, performance muffler, side step rails, splash guards, vent visors, billet grilles, and have a K&N cold air intake kit on order. This SUV just gets better the more I drive it. Unique looks, performance, no-hassle buying experience. It's a winner!
Nice all around car, but needs tweaking

I bought the VUE with the following critera - better gas mileage than most small SUVs, room for my family and our stuff, and fun to drive. I'd say that all in all, it meets those requirements. I generally get 24-25 mpg, with roughly 70% highway and 30% city driving. There's plenty of room, and it's not a bad drive. If you're looking for a car-like ride though, it's not for you. It rides more like a truck. I am a bit disappointed in the overall interior - it looks relatively cheap and plastic-y. The larger disappointment is that there is a LOT of road noise apparent in the cabin. I never thought that feature of a car would bother me like it does. I'll definitely know better next time

This is a great family suv. Everything was definitely easy to repair. The common problem with the Saturn vue is changing the oxygen sensor. Other than that the car runs like a champ. I left my car sitting with out driving it for a full year and I took care of the little problem and now it’s running like a champ again with only 13,000+ miles
