Used 2006 Saturn VUE SUV Consumer Reviews
Think Twice Before Buying
When I first bought the Vue I could not be happier with it. However, as time and miles add up(less than 37,000 miles) My Saturn started costing money. I have had it in a shop 4 times. Both front disk replaced, both rear hubs replaced, radio control in steering wheel quit working, and now I have no radio. They say fuse in radio needs replaced at a cost of over $300. For a fuse replacement in the radio itself! I've owned three Saturns; this will be my last. If you're thinking about buying one take a look at comments of owners who have had theirs longer than a year. You'll see a trend of costly problems in your future.
Fun Economical
This is a good all around utility vehicle which can go most anywhere the average driver wants to go. Room for a big person with excellant fuel economy.Would highly recommend for growing family or professional in sales or real estate.

New Saturn VUE
I love my new car! It is easy to handle, gets great gas mileage and it is pretty to look at. This is my second Saturn and I will definitely be a repeat customer!
A different kind of SUV
The 2wd, 4-cyl model we are leasing is basically a station wagon on stilts. This is for hauling groceries and kids, not off-roading, which is fine, because that's what most folks use their SUV's for anyway. Before this, we had the V-6 L300, and the VUE feels underpowered in comparison, but it's an SUV that gets good gas milage. The reviewer commented on the cheapness of the interior, but that was the 2002 model. I think the brushed aluminum look in the 2006 model is very nice. The armrests on the front bucket seats are really the only plastic bits that seem cheap to me. For some reason, we have the woodgrain from the v-6 model on one of the doorhandles in the rear.
Great Updates for 2006
Great vehicle especially after the updates for 2006. If you drive the 4 cylinder automatic near the speed limit you will get over 30mpg highway. After more than 10K miles no problems and gas mileage is great. It does have pep for a 4 cylinder though it will degrade gas mileage quickly if you race it around. I use an iPod with the aux input. Just buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack from RadioShack. OnStar diagnostics are emailed. OnStar is great and safe. Green Line hybrid version should be interesting when it comes out later this year.
