Used 2006 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
Surprise
Overall I am pleased, but find the front driver's seat awkward. A wonderful engine with plenty of power, plus AWD works really well. You can feel the extra control. Power seat could be improved to match say the Murano's, but keep it up. It's a great vehicle. Driving it is fun
Nice and useful car
I have driven my VUE for 8000 miles, and so far so good, except an ignition switch problem (it didnt go all the times) repaired by the dealer. Gas consumption was very close to the spec: 22 mpg city, 26 expressways. It is very easy and pleasant to drive. Dimensions are OK for me, big enough to haul a small family around town (including baby stuffs) and roomier like other thirstier and more expensive SUVs. The front seats can be better; they have an uncomfortable haunch at the back. The new interior design is very good with a lot of standards. The power is adequate for a 2.2 L; dont expect a great performance at high speed. Dont forget the backup of the Saturn family.

Saturn VUE 2005
So far, So Good. Big selling point is the HONDA V6 250hp ENGINE. the VUE AWD has some get up and go performance, handles well. Good 360 view. Recommend for the road warrior who wants to appeal to the soccer moms. However, big caveat is the poor gas mileage. So far under 20mpg combined city/hwy, sticker rated at 22-28mpg. Guess those 250 horses gotta eat! pay for the optional sound system, the standard radio/speaker combo is oh-hum at best.
Best in Class
I never expected to be a VUE owner, but after test driving many competitors, the VUE AWD version was the best. The AWD with roof rails and chrome package looks great. The Honda engine has great acceleration. Handling and suspension is also on par with competitors. Interior is attractive and seating is roomy and comfortable. Make sure you test drive, this is best alternative for a street driving SUV. Beats Equinox,Santa Fe, Escape,& Liberty "hands down".
Vue
This is my fourth saturn. I turned in a 2003 ION as it was a terrible car. I am so happy with my VUE. It's what you expect from a new car, reliable, fun, and no headaches!
