Used 2009 Saturn VUE Consumer Reviews
I Love my Vue!
I have been looking at the Vue for quite a while now. When I was researching SUV's I always went back to the Vue. I am not sorry. I love it. The gas mileage, for an SUV, is quite good. I am just sorry that GM has chosen to rid itself of Saturn. Shame on them and shame on Penske for not taking it over. It's your loss.
I like it! Mostly....
I love the looks and amenities of my Vue. This is my second Saturn, my first was a 2007 Vue Hybrid. But the AWD has 600 extra pounds and 70 more horsepower. It will make a big difference winters. The ride is very assuring, plenty of power for passing and hills. The interior is very classy. And I really like the curves of the body shape. My one reservation is the seating. I am a large guy, and the seats are uncomfortable after just a few minutes. The seat hinge and the hanger that the seat cushion support hangs off of cause a degee of discomfort. Perhaps as everything wears in that will abate. But the seat depth is to short, I could use another inch or two.

Fantastic SUV
I waited a long time to buy this car, but I'm glad I did. Everything you could want in an SUV you get with the Saturn Vue. I bought the XR V-6 with a couple of options, but nothing fancy. I love the way it drives, handles, and the way you feel like your a part of the car when you sitting in the drivers seat. The interior is set up beautifully. The V- 6 engine is strong and gives the car plenty of power. Everyone that sees this car can't believe its a Saturn. Bravo Saturn.
Saturn Vue Hybrid '09
Excellent exterior styling, very much like a Lexus RX330. Interior well laid out, comfortable, and quiet. Like the climate controls - even though not dual-zone, can set temperature. Lots of room. Mechanically, the vehicle performs very well - hybrid action almost unnoticeable. Only indication really is a sense of background "braking" as the energy recovery system kicks in on some deceleration, though that is not objectionable in the least. Acceleration is very good, especially for a 4-cyl. Sound system is excellent (love the satellite radio).
2009 Saturn VUE XR... I got a good one.
Update 8/27/18: 10 years on and she still runs like a champ. 102K miles, so we've had to do some of the 100K maintenance items that are pricey. We've also had some brake/brake shoe issues that were causing a loud roar and keeping the car from accelerating well, but now that it's fixed it's back to normal. We've been lucky to have a car like this and I'm now training my 16-year old son on it. I still have this car after 7 1/2 years and still love it. I use it to transport music gear for my gigs and it's held up well. It's a kid transport/family transport vehicle that, if you take care of it like any car, will not let you down.
