Used 2009 Saturn Outlook for Sale near Atlanta, GA

As one of the largest midsize SUVs on the market, the 2009 Saturn Outlook earns top marks for its interior capacity, which can comfortably accommodate eight adult passengers and a class-leading amount of cargo. Its car-like handling and responsive acceleration minimize the somewhat unwieldy maneuverability. And while its exterior style may not set hearts a-pounding, it fulfills its function as a comfortable, well-appointed, and reliable family hauler. The 2009 Outlook returns in XE and XR trims, both offered in rear-wheel and On-Demand all-wheel drive. Direct injection has been added to the 3.6-liter V6 engine this year, increasing horsepower and torque numbers by double digits. The XE now puts out 281 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, while the dual-exhaust V6 in the XR delivers 288 hp and 270 lb-ft. Both are mated to a six-speed automatic and achieve class-leading fuel economy numbers of 16/22 mpg, thanks to variable valve timing and refinements to the intake and exhaust mechanics. A new engine mount further refines what was already a relatively quiet and shudder-free ride. With wider dimensions, an adult-size third row, and easy access to the rear seats, the 2009 Outlook provides significant competition to the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Both second and third rows split-fold nearly flat, with the second row also sliding easily forward and aft to accommodate longer legs or more cargo space. The slide feature provides quick and easy access for adults into the third row, which offers 33 inches of legroom. A low step-in height also eases entry and exit. Cargo space starts at 24 cubic feet with seats up, but this can expand to 117 cubic feet – one of the largest capacities available in a midsize SUV. The 2009 Outlook boasts plenty of in-cabin storage compartments as well, including underfloor compartments in the cargo bay and a rear center console that comes with the optional second-row bucket seats. Leather seats and Bluetooth capability have been added for 2009, and are standard on the XR and optional on the XE. Heated front seats, a rearview camera, and two different Bose sound systems (surround and non-surround) also join the options list for both trims. The optional navigation system in the XR gets real-time traffic updates. Finally, a new Touring Package for the XR boosts the 18-inch alloy wheels to 20-inchers and adds rear bumper cut-outs for the dual exhaust pipes. The dual exhaust pipes in the standard XR have been redesigned to turn down, to remove the need for cut-outs. Both trims come well equipped with the requisite CD/MP3 player, cruise control, rear climate control, and full power features, with the XR adding more upscale wood trim and a power driver's seat. The backlit gauges are easy to read, but thick side pillars obscure some side visibility. Not yet rated in crash tests, the 2009 Outlook provides a solid feel behind the wheel, keeping body lean to a minimum despite its wide 79-inch stance and difficult maneuverability. ABS brakes, traction and stability control, dual front-side and side curtain airbags for all rows, rollover sensors, backup sensors, and OnStar are all standard. The all-wheel-drive system automatically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels according to road conditions, completing an overall SUV package that feels confident and secure while still providing plenty of acceleration power.
