"Bought my XE 4 cylinder brand new, has 26,000 miles on it and have not had a problem yet. It has pretty good gas mileage, decent power, handles pretty good, and is very comfortalbe on long trips and great for the family. It looks good and is very reliable. The price was great for how nice it is and how well it still runs after almost 5 years of ownership. The interior is ok, but the center console in the front is a tad small with so-so cup holders. This is the most reliable car I've owned, its too bad Saturn went under."

"This car is awesome. Purchased the Red Line Edition in orange. The interior is very sharp with black leather and suede. Feels very roomy. Handles like a sports car with lots of pep and great maneuverability. Visibility is very good, no blind spots to speak of. Very fun to drive. The navigation/sound system is top notch. All around a great car, and you can find them at a lower price than most of the comparable competition."

"We bought this car used two years ago with 30k, still under the gm 100k mile warranty. I picked it out because the crash tests were excellent and we needed an awd for the pa winters. My wife thinks it looks nice and is extremely comfortable. Personally, I would like a higher arm rest and a more sensible dc jack (you cant use one of the cup holders with most cell phone chargers and gps's). After about a year of ownership and 52k mi total, the transmission failed. I have never had that happen in a gm vehicle especially with so few of miles. Luckily, onstar was quick to help my stranded wife, towing was free with the onstar, and the tranny was covered by the factory drivetrain warranty. They wound up swapping a new tranny from the factory for the old one, said it would be cheaper for them. Without the warranty, it would have been a $2,000 job. It works great now, but what happens when the warranty runs out and the tranny is at the same fail point as the original? Overall, we love the space, the handling, the safety, and the ride comfort. I dislike the 18 mpg and the fear of another tranny failure. It just seems like the 6 speed auto thinks and shifts too much. p.s., I read in another review about a hood latch issue. Ours sometimes won't secure the hood down and I have to spray some wd40 on the cable."

"I researched vechicles for about a month and a half before buying my Saturn Vue. It took me a few days to realize that is what I wanted. I looked at Jeep Liberties, and Ford Escapes, and Chevy equinox and the Honda CRV's...and the Saturn was an easy choice for me. I purchased an 08 Saturn vue with 35k miles on it it is a XR - loaded with everything except Sun roof and it looks brand new. I'm not a big fan of the color of the interior but it is starting to grow on me. It drives greats, very smooth, and the v6 power is awesome. I had a 4 cylinder so the power is definately noticeable. I looked at a lot of Saturns and it seems they do vary with options on the xr and xe.. they are not all the same.. I would assume xr all had leather but they don't, and some xe's are very stripped down on options so don't just assume besure to check them out good before going on a road trip to look at them."

"This is an Amazing car! i have a 2008 saturn vue xe, 4cylinder. For a 4 cyl it has a lot of pep! Comfort is great, dashboard design is very easy accessible. Charging ports front and back, TONS OF STORAGE. Rear seats fold so easily its incredible. ONE FLAW, 3 different size windshield wipers. What gives with that? Okay so they only come 1 in a package so it's not a loss, but as for the rear wiper, you can only order it from the GM dealer. That sucks but nothing that would make me blow up my car. I live in a desert, how often do i need it. Basic stereo, not that great of sound but functionality is awesome. Got 3 months of OnStar and XM which was great. Car handles very well, get up and go and i love the manual shift option for low gear. My mother lives in a gated community with a million speed bumps and it comes in handy very nicely. Saturn is great, the dealership i bought it at was AMAZING, so friendly, accommodating and this car i wish they didn't discontinue. I love my Saturn. I bought it "used" but i don't consider it used. It was a leased vehicle, leased once. 2008, 36k miles for $13000 can't complain."

"After considering a Highlander (which went way beyond my budget), I found the Saturn Vue XR which was a fantastic value for the money. It rocks! No problems. It starts, it runs, it's awesome. Sporty and handles tight as a top. Can't find one bad thing to say about it."

"I leased a new 2008 Saturn Vue and have had nothing but trouble. Within 6 months, I had to replace the whole radio and the hvac unit. Within 1 year, I had to replace the muffler because of a missing spot weld. Right now I have to replace the hood release cable but the part is on back order and they cannot tell me when it will be available. Also right now, I have a loose heat shield that rattles horribly while sitting in idle position. This car currently sounds like it should be 10 years old, and I just got it 2 years ago. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone."

"Vehicle has been in the shop 7 times and has stranded us 3 times. Saturn says there is an issue, but they don't have a fix and I should use caution when driving the vehicle to avoid being stranded in the extreme heat (or cold). This in NOT why a person purchases an new vehicle. I talked people with everyone from Saturn Customer Service to the GM Executive Offices to try to return the vehicle to no avail. After it spent 20 of the first 30 days of ownership in the shop I tried to return it under Saturn's 30 day return policy, but they would not honor it because they counted the time from when I signed papers instead of delivery 5 days later for the dealer installed DVD system. Finally took my loses and traded it off instead of fighting it with Lemon Law Lawers."
