Ranking	Details
#1	Sensor reduction Source: Edmunds ...I purchased my VUE in July of 05. I was driving one day in the city and notice I had no acceleration to go. I notice that a light came on so I pulled over to check the owners manual and it said the sensor reduction light was one. So I did what it said to do and when I turned my car back on, it ran okay. I took it to the Saturn dealer and they told me it could be either the gas pedal or my wiring harness. So we replaced my gas pedal..drove it home and not even w/in 24 hrs it did it again. I called the dealeship again and they said its the wiring harness and that was...
#2	It never let me down! Source: Edmunds ...I loved this car. I average 25K a year on my vehicle, so it had 125000 miles on it. I changed to synthetic oil around 95K and increased my mpg to 30 on highway, 26 or so in city. I loved this car. It always started, drove well, loved the convenience of the trunk/back seats that lie down flat. Went through two sets of tires and had rotors turned at 110K. I never had it in the shop for repairs other than maintenance issues. I loved this car. My only complaint was the road noise/ weather stripping was bad. It allowed dust to come in and it was a bit noisy...
#3	One of the most reliable cars I've owned Source: Cars.com ..."Great car. I have the 4cyl. model and they say engine noise. I don't have any noise. Modest power great milage and tough as nails."...
#4	2005 Saturn VUE Source: Edmunds ...I do love my Saturn VUE, Great vehicle...
#5	Best Car I've Owned Source: Cars.com ..."Had this car for two years. It's great! No problems, just change oil and drive. I just have to try and keep my wife away from it. The sound system is great."...
#6	Wonderful SUV Source: Cars.com ..."Bought the vehicle with around 40k on it and it has been a nothing but good to us. Strong, powerful, fuel efficient engine, comfortable ride, nice features and extremely reliable. Have had no problems with it whatsoever. Change the oil, rotate the tires and you are good to go!"...
#7	An Average Vehicle Source: Cars.com ..."Have owned my 2005 Vue (5spd manual/4cyl) from brand new (October 2004).Ventilation and air flow is poorly designed for winter weather - the side windows ice up if the weather is below -15C (The air flow to the side windows is blocked by the door panels).Visibility is restricted by the thick pillars and (to the rear) by the sun-blocker-tinting. The tinting is nice when it's bright out, but difficult to see out the rear when it's dusk or dark.Performance: excellent. This is one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. No road noise.Interior: Agree with...
#8	NO problems with mine! Source: Cars.com ..."This is the 3rd Saturn I've owned. Have had SL1, SC2, and now a VUE. I've maintained them regularly, and they have served me well. I've recommended them to family and friends for reliability and have had good luck too. I have run across a people who haven't, but don't know how their cars have been maintained or bought from! One was from the dealer, and two practically new from GM employees. I LOVE MY SATURN's!!"...
#9	Love my Vue Source: Edmunds ...Awesome Power and Comfort...
#10	Don't buy 2003-2005 VUE Source: Edmunds ...Don't buy 2002-05 Saturn Vue or Ion! VTI transmission failure expected by GM but no recall issued. I have a 2003 Vue with 67k miles that is now worth scrap metal because I cannot afford the $5500 rebuilt transmission. My car is only worth $6500. I never received written notification or was notified by the Saturn Dealership during routine maintenance. I cannot afford a new car payment; which is why I took care of my Vue - so I wouldn't have to. GM lost class action to replace these transmissions but filed for bankruptcy and received government (taxpayer) bailout before...
