I feel like I am driving a Lexus. Finally a 4 cylinder SUV with some kick and good gas mileage. If you convert the EPA to last years standards it gets 22 MPG city and 29 MPG highway. Not bad considering the power.
So Far So Good

Purchased a used 2008 Vue XR with 43K miles.Compared to all others out there, this was a really good buy! 1 owner Carfax with no history of any issues...hopefully that holds true.Love the look and the feel when driving. Rides better than the Hyundai Santa Fe we test drove. Rides a little harder when I'm the passenger. Seats could be a little softer and the cloth does stain easily, leather was my preference, but not in my budget. Gas mileage on V6 not so great 16-18, but it has more get up and go than the slug 4 cylinder we drove. So far, I really enjoy this SUV, almost as much as I did my 1993 Rodeo!

I purchased a 2008 Certified Pre Owned (CPO) Saturn Vue Redline a month ago with 47,000 miles on it. The five year, 50,000 mile warranty was done, but the 12 month, 12,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty tagged with free regular maintenance for 2 years or 24,000 miles made up for it. Ive been averaging over 19 mpg driving on my 12 mile loop to work each day. I did get a rather curious mpg reading driving around Arizona. From Phoenix to Prescott, going up the mountain, the car was getting 19 mpg. Going done the mountain, the car registered 29 mpg, averaging just short of 25 mpg for the trip. Driving from Phoenix to Tucson, which is relatively flat, the car only got 19 mpg. I looked at the XR model, but I liked the upgraded Redline interior much better. The car rides rather firm, but smooth. The engine has adequate pick up, but the transmission does seem to hunt for the right gear from time to time. No problem with the A/C, but I did have to take the car in for repairs to the passenger side windshield wiper twice. My car has the remote start and rain sensing options. Im having no problems finding parts. Found a new cargo shade for less than the dealer price, delivered with no sales tax. When shopping, I looked at RX 330s and 350s, but the prices were just too high for a high mileage Lexus that uses premium gas and you see one of them every time you turn your head. The Saturn is out of production, but the current Chevy version of the car provides dealer service and warranty work options.
Jackass thinking at top!!

They don't make them anymore and we pulled one for ten years behind our motor home. We never had a problem in all that time because we kept the service up If they made them today I would buy one and be the first in line for one.

Bought vehicle in 2015,had 117,000 miles on it, at 123,000 miles transmission gave out, gm new about this issue with the 35r waveplate through class action lawsuits yet would not recall the vehicles, after saturn owners filed their grievances with gm they finally decided to repair the the faulty transmissions up to 120,000 miles, as i said mine gave out at 123,000 miles, and would assume no responsibility at all, $4,300 dollars out of pocket to replace the transmission, updated transmission not running too great, lowered fuel milage and acceleration, air conditioning problems, multiple battery replacements, power steering issues, exhaust issues, spent more on repairs for this vehicle then what i paid for it, drove a ford explorer for 15 years, spent maybe 1000 dollars in repairs for that vehicle, first and last gm vehicle i will own.
