Enter "Vue" Pun Here

by anavrin27
Sep 24 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Improved styling, whisper quiet,customer service, price
Cons: None thus far
The Bottom Line: This cute and comfortable SUV is sturdy, stylish, and impressively low priced.

I have eyed the Saturn Vue for quite some time, always thinking the sleek styling and large cargo room was ideal if I ever needed a "family" type car. So, when the time came to purchase a larger vehicle, my husband and I hightailed it to our nearest ...

Overall Pleased with Very Few Exceptions

by NicoleZ
Jul 09 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Plastic side panels XM radio Honda Drivetrain Honda V6 Engine
Cons: Issues with front suspension Cellular antenna replaced 4 times due to corrosion Better/More cupholders needed
The Bottom Line: It's a good car and I'm pleased I leased it in the end. Just a few annoyances.

When it was time to happily get rid of my lemon of a 2002 Jetta, I drove everything out there. To be honest, I wanted a Nissan Murano but wasn't willing to fork over the money required to lease it for 3 years and as a last resort, headed to Saturn. ...

New Vue for Sue

by davcrockett
Jun 29 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy interior, sharp looking exterior. The redesign for 2006 is a hit over the 2005.
Cons: ABS & Head Curtain airbags should be standard. 2.4L motor should be an option.
The Bottom Line: If you are shopping for a smaller SUV, the Vue is absolutely worth a look. One of the best GM products out there!

We bought a new Saturn Vue for my wife last weekend...the 2.2L four with the automatic and tan leather with a moonroof. This is my wife's fourth Saturn, and my first experience buying one. Well, the buying experience is certainly a nice change from the ...

Saturn VUE off road

by brocluno
Feb 12 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice layout. Quiet at speed. I liked the power assisted steering. Good mileage. Comfortable.
Cons: Top of windshield a little low for me - long torso 6 ft person.
The Bottom Line: I like it and I'd buy one if I needed another SUV.

I just got done renting a V-6 Saturn VUE AWD for some work in one of our SoCal Off-Road Parks. I do trail surveys & erosion assessments. I try all sorts of different 4x4s when I have to rent. I had this car for three days and took it off-road for ...

Saturn Vue AWD V6, Affordable yet fun to drive

by prampelb
Nov 03 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Roomy, Good gas mileage, Safety features, Comfortable, Good power, Affordable, Fun to Drive
Cons: Plastic on doors, no compartment between seats,no handle to hang on when getting in
The Bottom Line: Awesome car, would highly recommend it to everyone.

I have been driving Saturns since 1992, and this 06 Vue AWD V6 is our family's seventh one, my second Vue. I really didn't need a new one; the other Vue was a 03, but with the winters being so bad where I live, my husband wanted me to have the all-wheel ...

Room with a Vue

by sparker55
Aug 21 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great cargo space, very quiet on the highway, smooth clean lines.
Cons: Basic stereo is pretty lame (compared to my son's Ion). I'd have preferred the 6cyl.
The Bottom Line: The Saturn Vue is an economical, fun to drive vehicle that is a sporty SUV on the outside, but a great car on the inside.

My well loved Saturn 200SL was hit and totalled, so we went looking. We have had three Saturns in the family and my wife and I have been looking at the Vue for quite some time. We got the 2.2L FWD with 5spd manual, and the day we picked it up we drove ...

Don't discount this US car...the Vue is a hit!

by trevdoggy
Oct 28 '08 - Updated Dec 11 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Plastic side panels, Honda engine, XM, Onstar, audio in jack, comfy seats, sunroof,
Cons: A little noisy, poor cupholders, poor center storage console, no "oh %@!%@" handle
The Bottom Line: Very sharp looking SUV at a wonderful price. Won't find another SUV with dent resistant panels and a honda engine!!

My wife and I are expecting our first child ANY day now. We realized that our second car, MY car haha, was severly inadequate for loading and transporting a child (it was a 1999 Monte Carlo). After just buying a car in February (see my review of the ...

2006 VUE V6

by amesriggs
Apr 22 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Price - zippy - space and flexibility
Cons: Placement of window switches - Number of cup holders
The Bottom Line: Very happy with the VUE would buy it again but not the 2007 dont like the new body.

This is our first Saturn and we bought the a V6 Saturn Vue over the Chevy because of the Honda drive train. Could not be happier with the purchase. In under 2 years we have over 25k on the VUE. We got the stock V6 model with cloth and "leather" trim. ...

A lemon with no service
by dave75  
Feb 10 '08 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 
Pros: Good for daily city drives. Visibility good, very small blind spots. Looks good.
Cons: Everything else.
I confess that we put abnormally high mileage on the truck, but that doesn't explain the problems:
Electric seats quit within a year.
Stereo died shortly after (and would actually drain the battery at night if we left the fuse in)
3 or 4 wheel sensors replaced.
Transmission grinding at slow speeds.
No service. We were passed from dealer to dealer with no results (and paying $100 every time for them to say "I dunno").
Finally we unloaded it at a loss and bought a decent truck.

Maybe it was a lemon, but a littler customer service would have been nice.

Great SUV
by nealjr  
Dec 08 '05 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Handling, Ride, Acceleration, Much improved looks over last year.
Cons: New headlights too bright. Getting flashed like people think brights are on.
This is by far one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. Drives and rides like a car. The polymer body panels have already saved me from a shopping cart. It turns on a dime into tight parking spaces.

2006 Saturn Vu is a dream
by lindaboop2  
Feb 28 '07 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: gas mileage, ease in driving. Lots of room, and comfortable to ride in.
Cons: I am not pleased with the Service Department
I love the car, the room and the handling of it all and even my husband after driving it was pleased with my choice.

I got no pressure from the sales department, and a great price. Could not have been happier.

My only concern is the service department. I took my vue in for a noise in the front end passenger side. They replaced my right strut mount and realigned it. Less than two weeks later, I had it back in for the same noise on the drivers side. I asked them when I took it in, did they not think to check the other strut mount when they replaced the one to see if it was damaged? Their answer...did not hear a noise. I was not please to yet drive my car in for service when I feel it could have been avoided just by being proactive in checking it out.

I will be trying a different dealership's service department hoping the one I went to was the exception and not the normal type of Saturn Service.

Saturn Vue is my best Car.
by amray767  
Feb 10 '07 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: The pros are the gas mileage, size, and style.
Cons: I haven't had a negative experiences with this car.
The Saturn Vue has been the best vehicle I have ever leased. I love this vehicle because it has low gas mileage, it has enough room for a family but it's not to big either. It a nice stylish car. When the lease is up in a couple years I want to stay in a vehicle that is the same as this one.
