What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Saturn VUE appreciate its reliability, comfortable ride, and ample cargo space. Many enjoy its performance, especially the handling and braking. However, some drivers have faced issues with power, particularly in the four-cylinder models, and reported problems with the transmission, which can be a concern. The 6-cylinder version provides more power but comes at the cost of fuel efficiency, which some found disappointing. Overall, it's seen as a great option for daily use and outdoor activities."
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.
December 8, 2010We bought this vehicle with 38,000 miles. Ride is somewhat buoyant and acceleration with the 2.4 Ecotec is just adequate. Fuel mileage is good: 22 around town, 26 highway. Noise inside the cabin can be intrusive at higher speeds and GM must have realized that when they installed a radio with the capability of getting louder as you drive faster! Fit and finish appears good and of substantial quality (for plastic anyway, leather seats feature a very heavy grade of leather). Towing capacity isn't much with the 4 cylinder (1500 lbs) but it handles my 5x10 lawn trailer with ease.
May 22, 2014I 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

August 10, 2009For 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
July 30, 2008I like the xm radio, the dual cd player, how it handles in the snow and ice. Its fun to drive, dependable and not bad fuel economy for suv. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an suv.
January 4, 2014This 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.
June 8, 2013Great 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.
October 1, 2008As soon as the warranty runs out then the car will stop working. Be prepared to spend a extra 4500 on your car sticker price to replace the transmission. Maybe there is a reason the company went out of business.
May 10, 2014I 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.
February 21, 2009The car was sold AS IS. It had to be deeply detailed but it is wonderful for the price and features. I am sure there are minor problems to address but for the most part a great car for daily use.
