2009 Saturn Outlook consumer reviews

Love this car. We've had it for 10 years and it has been a great performer. It is comfortable and reliable. It tows up to 4,500 pounds which is higher than any other cross-over that we've seen.

Great for family or work. So far so good. Recommend it as is a GMC ACADIA for fraction of the price. Nice leather interior with elegant looks.

Although this car is almost 10 years old, the exterior and interior style feel modern. I am 5'2" and often find it difficult to truly get totally comfortable in many cars. I am able to make all necessary adjustments seat and steering wheel to get it just right!

Meets all my current needs of 8 passenger SUV with enough power. The fold up seats are hard for my kids to operate, all GM's cars still have the exact same rust issues in the exact same spots. Expensive common repairs on common parts in hard to reach areas.

Family of seven with plenty of room. Very safe. Wife survived a tractor trailer hit to the drivers side in our 2007 Outlook. Only had mild bruises. We miss Saturn.

Dealing with Jason at East Coast Auto and Trailers in Wilmington, NC was a great pleasure. He understood my needs and wants and gave me a great deal on my new SUV. It's reliable, easy to handle and works just as good as the Acadia at a more affordable price. I would purchase another Saturn, but more importantly from Jason because he's honest and he will work with you.

I bought my 2009 Saturn Outlook new in Dec. 2008, so I have driven it for 6 years now - has 81K miles. Two months ago I had to have the transmission rebuilt and now it is back into the GM dealer for engine problems - ignition coils bad. This car has been back to the dealer more times than any car I have ever owned. It's too bad that the engine and trans. are not reliable because I love this car. Great to drive and lot's of room, very comfortable for adults even in the 3rd row. But I would not buy another one because of the issues.

I have a Saturn 2009 outlook bought about a year ago with just under 20,000 miles. its been a headache. headlights are always going off, engine trouble...water pump...do i need to say more. sometimes i wish i could have purchased a different car.

I have had the Saturn Outlook 2009 for 3 years, we bought it brand new. The comfort and drive has always been nice. The problem is in the engine....now being a woman I do not understand everything about the motor,but the dealer has replaced the "TIMING CHAIN" in the engine TWICE, and there have also been other things they have replaced that I am not familiar with, it has taken multiple trips to the dealer for them to figure out the issues, they have had our vehicle for weeks at a time. Everytime they send it back, the engine light goes on again This vehicle has been in the shop at least 6 times for a week or more....it is just not reliable. The service manager told me "oh yes there are problems with this engine, it is the same engine as the GMC Acadia, and the Chevy Traverse....GM is going to stop putting this engine in autos....so beware if you buy any of these models from 2009 until now 2013. This has been a nightmare for us, and they fix it only to have it go back in the shop again every fe months.... We have had enough and are going to try and trade it in very soon.

I've had my 2009 Saturn Outlook LS for about 2 months now. We've driven about 1500 miles in cities and on highways. It's been a very nice vehicle. For as large and capacious as it is, it gets pretty good mileage. Just about what they predicted 17/24. Interior is all leather and very comfy. Wifey loves the heated psgr seat option as she gets cold with my A/C settings, even though her temp is set higher than mine. My kids love the rear seating and the DVD player. The dual zone air really takes the edge off the TX summer heat. It handles well, drives like a dream. The only complaints I have are that I'm getting an occasional, sporadic Stabilitrak warning light. I understand that it can be due to many reasons, ie; under inflated tires to too much weight in the vehicle or even a true malfunction etc. Vehicle still seems to be functioning properly though. It downshifts kind of slowly in low gears at low speeds sometimes and especially going down hill. Other than that, it is a very nice vehicle with tons of extra features that I'm still discovering.
