Can I return it?
I'm very unhappy with this car, and sorry I bought it. It wasn't my first or even second choice. The car is 3 mos old, and has over 4500 miles. The driving is sluggish, even for a 4 cylinder. The driver's seat is very uncomfortable, and hurts my back. The wiper's don't work well, and make that horrible scraping sound. The rear wiper button is located below the stereo and you have to take your eyes off the road to find it. My major complaint is that the sticker said it would get 26 mpg. I'm only getting 21 mpg. I drive mostly highway. If I could return this car, I would.
Parts? Performance?
When I bought this Saturn I liked it very much till things started happening. Rear wiper will cycle one time each time you close the rear hatch. Had a transmission repaired and they messed up my front wheel alignment when they had to disconnect the steering linkage to fix the trans. Took a rock to my windshield and then could not find a windshield anywhere in USA that my mirror would attach to because the mount for the mirror was different than other vue's. Rear wiper blade can only be replaced by buying the complete arm at Chevy dealer for $47.00 (no refills around that fits). Now my windshield wipers stop working as I'm going through a rain storm and starts back up when it wants to.

Worst Car I've Ever Owned
This car has been a nightmare. No less than 5 recalls since purchased; the transmission needed to be replaced (not one of the recalls), and the seat fabric stains if you drip clean water on it! Also, for a relatively weak four cylinder engine, the gas mileage is just not good. I will never, ever purchase another GM product.
Not Happy with my 2008 Saturn Vue
This car has given me nothing but trouble. I've lost count how many times it has been in the shop. I'm lucky that so far everything has been covered under the warranty. The wipers don't work right, have had problems with the AC, seats stain easily and many other problems. Now it's in the shop because the computer system needs to be replaced. This is the 1st time I have owned a GM car, not sure if I will purchase another one.
