Love It!!!!
Source: Edmunds

...I LOVE My Saturn! It has been very dependable & handles excellent!
Other than Oil Changes, I had to replace the crank position sensor which was about $85 (A very popular problem in these vehicles) and Im about to change the sway bar links here pretty soon.
(also another common problem in VUEs) I take great care of my VUE.
Oil Changed every 3,000 with Mobil 5,000, Wax's, Mid-Grade Gas, I get about 24MPG, I love it and expect it to last another 75,000 or more!...

03 VUE, 4 cylinder 5 speed
Source: Cars.com

...It has a 5 speed manual transmision and the 2.2l engine. It´s not as powerful as some competition but is enough for me. I also get 25mpg on city which is even better than my previous 4 cylinder car. My black Vue has 94000 miles and still has not gone through major repairs. I was going to buy a 4 cylinder Vue with the VTi but I regretted and I chose the 5spd. I´m happy with my decision, it still does have good features, mine even has curtain airbags and Traction control. So far it has been a bargain"...

New Old Review
Source: Edmunds

...I'm currently in the market to replace my Vue. I wanted to write this review to say how there really isn't anything on the market now that is better than this vehicle.
If you compare what is important to me, Power, MPG, & Cargo Capacity, the Vue still has the crossover market of 2010 beat.
I'm sure I can find something that is more comfortable and looks better, but the MPG/HP out there is terrible.
And most don't have the cargo room. I'll keep looking, but I think I'm still ahead of the game 3.5 years later...

saturn Vue V6
Source: Edmunds

...Very nice car for the price. The Honda 250 hp V6 with the Honda automatic 5 speed transmission make for a reliable, smooth and peppy performance.
With a curb weight almost 1000 lbs less than the honda pilot, the saturn is FAST, and the mileage is as advertised--29 mpg hwy, and 25 mpg town, on regular gas.
I tow it 4 wheels down behind my RV and have had no problems in 10,000 miles of towing it so far.
I di get the 16 inch mag tires/wheels and they look great. With 10,000 miles on odometer I have had no warranty service required yet...

GM really blew it, getting rid of Saturn
Source: Edmunds

...My Olds moved-up my plans, and a young airman on base was selling her's before going to the UK. The bare-bones SL at least had A/C, and the optional CD player! I normally had 33 to 35 mpg, and as high as 40 mpg, and using the A/C with wife, two kids, and luggage in the car! Yes, it was burring oil towards the end, and the materials used inside weren't the best, but I had over 250,000 miles on the car. GM made a big mistake by rebadging some Saturns as Chevys, Pontiacs, etc. Then they went away from that wonderful "lost-foam" cast 1.9L motor. GM should have stayed with the SL/SC line, and...

Vue
Source: Cars.com

..."The Vue is by far the best bang for the buck. Honda engine and transmission in my 04.
Runs strong and handles very well. The only downside is a somewhat awkward interior as far as control placement.
Once you get used to the interior layout this thing is a dream. I have to say the look is unique but I have grown to love it also. I would highly recommend trying one of these out for yourself."...

LOVE MY VUE!!
Source: Edmunds

...I have had my 2008 Saturn VUE XR Front wheel drive since June 2008, and LOVE it!
I have a little over 10,000 miles on it. My Mom just purchased a 2009 VUE XR FWD, replacing a 1996 Ford Taurus wagon.
I hope that the Saturn brand keeps going. By the way, this is my 2nd Saturn...I had a 1994 Saturn SL2...

Steel safety cage saved our lives
Source: Edmunds

...Originally bought my VUE for increased security and safety for commuting 84 miles to work daily.
We were t-boned 10 miles from home by a truck at a speed of 85 mph from drivers side.
the air bags deployed without causing any injury. The steel crumple cage performed as designed with the driver/passenger compartments remaining intact.
The ability of the VUE to take this kind of impact with minimal injuries to driver and passenger has convinced me to buy another.
The other truck exploded on impact and was destroyed. Very thankful to have purchased my 1st suv from saturn...

A Great Vehicle
Source: Edmunds

...The car is fun to drive, has great performance and handles well. The front seat folds down to allow large items, like lumber to be carried inside. The plastic for the interior is durable and made to be scratch resistant so it isn't soft to the touch, but will last a long time. The 0 - 60 time for the VUE is 8.3 seconds, my Jeep was 10.0. The Vue is faster, and handles better. Buying the Saturn is an experience that I am not used to, very much like buying a Volvo in Europe. They make a bigger deal out of it than you do. All dealerships should be like that...

I hate this car!
Source: Edmunds

...Worst car I have ever owned! I bought this car in 06 and have had problems ever since!
Within a week of getting it, it went the shop for a mouth and a half.
and I have had problems ever since. Wish I could trade it in instead of putting more money in it but cant afford either one right now. I really dislike this car!...
