Great car for dependable service, roominess, and economy. I cannot understand why GM ditched the Saturn brand; although I think the Vue was transformed into the Chevy Equinox, also a good car.

Too many visits to dealership

31,000 miles and has been at the dealership several times with the same issue, transmission, torque converter, or they say. Corporate says that the problem is normal for the Vue. If normal then would be there from day 1. Still rattling noise and hesitations after past last gear. Would never own another Saturn again. Zipping noise when turning steering wheel. Dealer says normal for car again.

2006 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

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.

210,000 and still going

This have been a great SUV with very few problems. I have had it for 10 years and have 210,000 miles and it always runs. We also have a 2006 Toyota Highland our family likes to drive the Vue better. I drives better, more comfortable and the dash controls are better in the Vue. My only real complaints about the car is AWD is not the greatest it takes a little bit to kick in. I also wish the transmission had an option to turn off the over drive so it is not the best for towing but it does work, I have towed many utility trailers with it.
