Love My Saturn

I like this car because it is roomy & comfortable without being OVERSIZED . Its got great use of space like the fold down compartments in back & the way all the seats fold flat including the front passenger.

Great power and super reliable

I bought this car new because of the Honda 3.5L engine and transmission and have been happy ever since. The power and mpg is fantastic and the engine is still smooth after 170k miles. I've just done routine maintenance on it along with a refresh on the suspension components because one of the back springs rusted. It is noisy at hightway speeds, but I put in an aftermarket radio and speakers to drown out that noise. The only problem I've had is rust at the junction of the body and subframe in the front of the car, both sides. There is a square "weep hole" that fills up with salt/water, and rusts appears over time. Had that fixes on one side that was bad which hopefully will make the car last another 5 years because I know the engine will last at least that long.

Best truck I've owned!

This truck has to be one of the best trucks I've owned. Its just great in every shape, way or form! It drives the way a SUV should. Has a great response time as you start to accelerate. Especially if you get the V6 Saturn. You're in for a great Compact SUV. I certainly recommend this truck to anyone. Now im gonna say this. With the V6 Saturn I own I've raced a few cars and truck in my city lol.. Im like that. So far with that truck I've raced a Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima, Two Chevy Silverados, and I believe the last truck I've raced is a Ford F-150. All of these trucks and car have been beaten with my V6 Saturn Vue. Now im not saying that the Saturn Vue is the fastest SUV out there but, it is definitely fast im not gonna lie about that! Especially because practically my whole engine was changed because of some issues I had a few months ago with the trucks Crankshaft Pulley, Timing belt, and some other engine problems. I felt that as soon as they fixed my truck it ran soo much smoother and so much more fast. With more of an aggressive feel as well as more velocity! Mind you I didn't drive that truck for about 3 to 4 months due to all the problems that developed with the engine and all. Unfortunately, my truck has the same issue agian. Some other thing came up and the truck is no longer turning on. Im really indecisive whether I should sell the truck or keep it and fix it once agian. I really do recommend this truck to anyone. I personally fell in love with this truck that's why it's soo soo hard for me to just get rid of it. Hope that I can fix it soon so that I can keep driving the truck I love! Hope you guys see this review and fall in love with this truck the same way I did!

The worst car I’ve owned

I have constantly had something wrong with it that needed fixing. Sometimes it would resolve itself and then there’s times like now where my check engine light is on and I there’s an extremely loud knocking sound in the engine which makes it sound horrible and I can’t even drive it.

Better than new

Car was in great shape when I bought it in Dec and I have replaced ANYTHING that could go wrong. Top of the Blue Book range is cheap for this car.

One of the most reliable car that i ever had....

I get this car with 140k but in great shape, just service the Throttle Body Unit ( cleaning ) and brakes. now after 3 years of great service .. still running strong , the A/C is great , the size and interior space awesome, the radio is a huge asset, It is really a shame SATURN is out of business, i am really impressed with the quality and reliability of this car , not to mention how easy to service and maintenance.

Good for the $$$

Meets my needs. Not gteat on gas but ok. Main point is that I'm told it has a Honda engine so they may bury me in it. Common problem: doors lock shut. Mine is!

A true sport utility

This little SUV did everything and more GM didn't know what they had , Honda and Toyota lucked out and GM quit Saturn and will lose the war with their attempt to cut off their nose to spite their face
