2008 Saturn Vue Red Line — I bought my Saturn Vue Red Line with about 19,000 on it. So far it's been great. Handles very nicely, love the interior and storage capicity is more than I hoped for. Speaking of storage, make sure you ask for a trunk liner for the back. It's just a nice practical piece that's standard with these cars but can save some wear and tear to the interior. Gas mileage (if my calc is right), is slightly lower than advertised and for some reason the dashboard rattles slightly on occasion. A little annoying, but not a deal breaker. Overall, a solid car for the price. We really enjoy it

My Fun Little Suv — It is easy to get in and out of. I love the gold exterior.and the interior. The heating and cooling is really cool, because you just put it on auto and set the temp and it automatically gets to that templ Also it has a jack for my MP3 player and the radio is awsome. So are the intermitten wipers, which by the way you just set them and they detect when they need to wipe the windshield. Complaints, the ceiling stuff hangs low and obstructs my rearview mirror. and the auto side mirror swich is backward.

Smooth Ride — I love it! It is small yet big enough to do travelling..... The only downside is that with all our luggage now and a new addition to the family our Rotti cannot come on our trips to Edmonton! The nice thing.....we don't spend too much more on gas then we did when I had my Saturn SC2.

Best Gm Sports Suv — Great car, It is all you can ask for in a gm sports SUV the tap shift makes driving interactive and can be used by all, only thing that needs to be added is a sunroof standard and a more integrated driver information center with mpg and tire pressure like on our g6 other then that great car with a ton of fun features, The body kit also is a nice feature that always turns heads Go test drive one, you'll fall in love.

`08 Saturn Vue — For a SUV this truck is built solid. Its reliable. You put your foot down and it goes! You take it off road and it goes! You fill the tank and the gas goes! This vechile is amazing but the only complaint I have about it, is that with the 6cyl it uses gas far faster then I am used to. Its a trade off though, you want the power you have to pay for it some how

Great Vehicle For Families: — This vehicle has great performance with accereration, great braking and handling. Driving this vehicle was fun and under control no problem. I'm a golfer so with that said I was extremely happy the open hatch, there is enough room for golf clubs and extra items.

Reliable Vehicle — its great, mine is fully loaded and the amemnities are great, heated seats , sunroof, all power, the cargo in the back is great, has a pull up handle that folds our three baskets you can use to seperate your groceries, quite useful if you don't want your items all over the back of your car...you never know!

I Would Buy This Car Again If I Were Looking For A 5 Passenger Suv. — Great overall SUV but the 4 Cly is just not strong enough when mated to the 4 speed automatic transmission. Excellent braking and steering. No repairs in the first 2 years. Quiet and comfortable ride, great handling, decent fuel milage, comfortable seating, great visibility.

I Love It, And Would Buy Another In A Heart Beat. — This is no sissy car, It's a shame that GM dumped Saturn. Bad Move. GM seems to want to discontinue making popular cars such as the Celebrity and station wagons. This car so much fun to drive that I sometimes don't want to stop.
