I really do like my VUE, it has lots of power, the ride is okay, could be a little smoother, road noise is a little loud. Body style is very pretty. Gas mileage is great. I've had mine for about 16 months and no problems at all. Very reliable. I will definitely look at another one when I'm ready for a new one. I love the new body style. I looked at an Outlook only yesterday and feel that the Vue fits me better. I just really don't need that much car.

I have now owned this V6 AWD for 20 months, and it has been very reliable. I have 34,000 miles on it and have recently had the front strut mounts replaced. I was hearing a squeeky noice on bumps at slower speeds. Covered under warranty.I really like the V6 power train/transmission. Fuel economy has been good for V6/AWD small SUV.

My First Saturn

It is not super small or super big. It tows 3000 lbs without effort. The ride is quiet and not harsh. It gets me to my fishing spots. The only complaint the window switches could be better placed other than around shifter.We love it more than the other GM models based on the same platform. We looked at the Ford Escape, Rav4, CRV, Liberity, and Element. This was the best around package for my wife and I.

Saturn VUE Redline

Good $20k crossover. Base models feel floaty on the freeway, and handling does not inspire confidence. Upgrading to the Redline solves those problems, along with giving a better look and interior. The Honda v6 in these is great, and move this vehicle along nicely. Don't spend the money for the AWD version unless you have to.

Nice but needs improvement

Have small problems such as windshield washer fluid leakage. Antifreeze leakage. Rear brakes need to be turned at 20,000 miles. Rattle noise from engine compartment. Rubber moulding around rear doors becomes detached easily. Larger problem with replacement of trans-axle at 21,000 miles. Vehicle rides hard and expect to replace struts and shocks by 25,000 miles.
