Engine replaced by certified mechanic, (rebuild) 2yrs back. Only 12000 miles on newer engine, could go 100,000 miles, probably; rust out, before it dies. 3 out of 4 wheel bearings replaced, brakes and tires in good condition. recently. Air conditioning needs re-charging and rear wiper motor, stopped working, minor problems. A very dependable car. Has trailer hitch for my, light weight, aluminum boats. Its been serviced by experienced mechanics. I am a retiree... car driven 5-6000 miles a year.

Needs more power

I love the VUE overall but it needs more power. It's a four cylinder. I should have bought a six cylinder. It's even worse when running the air conditioning. Plus the gas mileage is not that good when running the air conditioning.

I have owned the Saturn for almost two years now and have been happy with it. Though the front seats are lacking in comfort during long trips, they are suitable for around town. The room is great for getting stuff around town, especially with the front seat laying flat. The sport package is great with the alloys, power package, and sunroof. The 5 speed is the only way to go with the 4 cyl. otherwise the power is too lacking. All in all a fun car to drive.

Wind noise

The only complaint I have about my VUE is the wind noise, lots of wind noise. Also in bad weather when you open back doors there is mud rain snow rock salt that has came in under the door. Seems to me they should of sealed around doors more and also windows. The seal is a hard plastic not like rubberized on most cars. Also the window controls are in an odd place, hard to get use to. Other than that I love the drive and ride of it.

Naturally I'm still in the honeymoon stage with my VUE, but I am quite pleased with the purchase. I was looking for a vechicle that would hold the family and still provide excellent gas milage for my daily commute. This VUE has both to offer with a generous cabin space and an efficient engine that puts out about 32 miles to the gallon (mind you I have a 5 speed manual transmission). The easy going, no haggle atomospere of the dealership was a welcome change from the high pressure "what do I need to do to sell you this car today" sales pitch of other dealerships.
