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.

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.

Saturn VUE

The VUE is quiet, it drives well, and the ride is very comfortable even for long rides with lots of leg room. I love this car. I love the color "Cypress Green". I would definitely buy another one if I ever trade this one in. So far it has been my favorite car, and I was always a Ford person.

Honda + plastic = great value!

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!

Bought it to do Uber/Lyft. Paid $2800 in May of 2018. September 5th ac was a $510 repair. Other than oil changes this was my first expense. Everyone has nice things to say about it. Mine was a one owner car so it was taken care off.
