Love My VUE
I love my new VUE. I still can not believe how nice it drives, how great it looks, and how many features it has for the money we paid. I just don't think you can beat it. This is the first Saturn I have bought and it will not be the last.
Saturn Still Rock!
I've owned 10 Saturn Vues since 2004! Crazy? Nope just love em. Facts; No longer made by GM at Spring Hill, Tn. The car is a car. Its not a truck. It has some typical weaknesses, and typical replacements to consider. Here's what usually goes out, needs replaced on these Vues; All Wheel Bearings, Alternators, no warning signs when they do, most before 100k. If you live in Michigan, like I did. The roads are the worst in the world, over salted, with huge pot holes, etc. You can expect rusted suspensions, brake lines, front struts, rear shocks to replace. I think the the guy who worked on the passenger side of the vehicle in Spring Hill, was the one on break and probably got fired, in my 2006 and 2007s had the same problems. The heated seats that went out, funky airbag sensors, and were all bad in 2-3 of my Vues. I had 2.2 Ecotech engine in 3 .. Theres no dipstick for the transmission, so no way to check fluid levels, good engine overall But not checking your fluid, that a "transfusion" and not a good idea. I later switched to the Honda J series 3.5 V6 for my last 3 Vues. Best engine in the whole bunch. 3.0 ltr. and Hybrid are the engines to avoid! I'm buying my last one this week, used but well cared for. ..wish me luck, It's a Redline with the 3.5 V6. Good luck to all the Saturn people, and those who still support the American car builders.

Still going strong
Bought the Vue at 3 years old with 19k miles on it. It replaced a 10-year-old 2000 SL2 that was passed on to my husband. Six years later, only preventative maintenance thus far. Getting ready for the timing belt/water pump and other 100k maintenance (a little early mileage-wise at 84k, but at 9 years of age, don't feel as though it's worth it to delay replacing this rubber component on an interference engine). Been reading a lot regarding subframe rust issues, and due to living in the "Salt Belt" I'm a little nervous about seeing it up on the lift. The Honda 3.5 L V6 is a nice engine (I keep it humming along with fully synthetic oil), and I'm hoping the transmission will fare well after changing the fluid (so far, so good). UPDATE: I wrote a review here in 2016 and thought I'd update it. Back then I had 84k on the odometer, now I'm at 146k. I was getting ready to have the timing belt done in 2016 and did in fact do that. I was concerned hearing about rust on the subframe in other Vues. In 2019, I did learn that I had quite a bit of rust at the body mounts due to a design flaw that allowed road salt to accumulate and corrode. Fortunately, I was able to find a welding shop to fix it. It has held up well. Aside from that (and the fact that this vehicle likes to go through wheel bearings), things have been mostly routine maintenance issues...of course, on an older vehicle, routine maintenance eventually becomes bigger ticket items (last year, I had to have my transmission lines replaced, but that's not surprising after 15 years of hot coolant running through them). She still drives like a top. Now that I'm commuting a bit farther, my hope is that I'll have a 2 more trouble-free years using this as my daily driver. If all goes well, my plan is to upgrade my daily driver in 2 years, but to keep this Vue as a spare and weekend vehicle. I bought this as a 3-year-old used vehicle in 2010 for just under $14k. It has exceeded my expectations.

Great automobile
Bought the car new in 07. Other than routine maintenance I have had almost no problems at 150,000 miles. Surprisingly fast for what it is. I average approximately 25mpg on the highway.
I'm desperately in love with this car
No one thinks Saturns are any good, but this is the one exception thanks to the Honda parts. I bought mine used at around 56k miles, towed horses with it for a little while, then packed my life into a 12' UHaul trailer, hooked it up, and moved across the country. No problems with it, just regular maintenance now at over 100k miles. I love taking her on long road trips of 10 hours or more, and have even taken her up on tight logging roads while towing with no problems at all. I don't have AWD on mine, just the V6, but she's gotten me out of multiple sticky situations with her front wheel drive. Mountain driving is an absolute blast in this car. You can really feel her dip and grip on tight winding roads and can easily add a healthy 15 MPH to any suggested curve speed for fun driving. There's plenty of cargo space before including the fold down back seats, plenty of little storage compartments, and one nicely sized hidden compartment under the front cup holders. Visibility is fantastic for an SUV. You can cover all blind spots easily. The one downside to this car, really, is the outside noise. The doors don't have the best seal, and in really windy areas it can startle you with a huge gush. I drove 8 hours through the Washington Gorge and dealt with it pretty constantly, but the stereo volume gets loud enough to drown it out. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this car. Over the past 5 years she and I have become a singular being, and I trust her to take me anywhere and everywhere until she just can't continue anymore.
