Great buy/best room and comfort - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By Great buy/best room - April 7 - 3:10 pmWe took a great length of time in evalauating all available SUV and CUV and found Saturn Outlook to be best in class. This is our first American car. It has more head and leg room overall. This is the only vehicle in SUV/CUV class with a practical 3rd row, enough leg and head room for 3-adults. Saturn has outdone themselves with this product, its comfortable and stylish with excellent finish both inside and outside with lots of well thoughtout details for convenience and comfort. We found this vehicle to be better then Acura MDX, Nissan Armada, and even Audi Q7 and it cost atleast 10,000 less then those automotives.

Great SUV for the price - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By glxpassat - January 10 - 10:33 amI bought my 2007 Outlook as last years model with only 50 miles on it. I love the looks of the SUV. The MPG isnt too bad for a big automobile, and the room is great.

Best I have owned in a long time. - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By John Layton - December 1 - 2:20 pmLooking for a SUV and were considering the Toyota Highlander, and the Saturn Outlook. Rather hard choice, until we saw that 100 % of the Toyota was made in Japan. Sorry Toyota. We saw each vehicle about equal in performance even thought the Outlook was new. Te ride was outstanding--Our last 3 vehicles were Ford Conversion Vans, and this Saturn topped them in confort, and cabin space. Could actually stretch out my feet instead of being scrunched up. Some options we did not want at first, but after taking them on the vehicle we wanted, I would not be without XM radio, onstar, and phone service ever again. I have been driving for over 55 years, and this SUV knocks my socks off. Excellent.

Design Debacle - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By justdontdrive - October 5 - 6:26 amWriting in after being outraged at a $3000 timing chain replacement, most of it 17 hours of mechanics labor. Come on GM, timing belts and chain replacement are as given on a car as is the tires. Why would you approve a design that requires dropping the engine to replace them! On a Honda or other Japanese car, its $400-500 event. Not so for GM. I bought the 07 new. I havent had a great deal of trouble, like some here who have all kinds of failures. But there were some: the lift gate which has a complicated motorized latch, failed so that it remained unlatched while driving. There was simply no way to hold it shut. Dangerous! Then it was $400 to have that fixed. All electrical.

Underwelmed - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By Bob - September 25 - 2:46 amThe mileage is way below what is advertised (17/24). I drive almost exclusively highway and am averaging about 16mpg. Geez, I got that in my 4WD Avalanche driving the same routes and speed. 6 speed transmission shifts out of overdrive on the mildest incline even at 70+mph on the highway. When going very slow the low gear pitches you around on wavey surfaces such as in a parking lot. It has that annoying accelerator lag, and it has a very pronounced shift lag when its cold out. Its free wheeled the engine (like missing the gear when trying to quick shift a stick?) when it lags and you take your foot off the gas. Gas gauge erratic, drops 1/8 in 20 mi or says on fumes with 1/4 left.

Much better than the minivan - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By Husker - June 20 - 11:00 pmWe purchased the Outlook XR AWD as a replacement for a Town & Country minivan. The Saturn has been very reliable, is extremely comfortable (even for adults in the 3rd row) and gets good mileage for its size. Were very happy with the purchase.

$1000 In repairs - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By penson - June 18 - 3:11 amBought it new in May 2007. Happy to to trade it in. From day 1, loud tire noise due to poorly designed or def tires and they lasted only 40k miles....before the tire replacement the AC went out...a leak in one of the hoses (after the warranty expired) Cost: $300 to repair. The road noise went away after the tires were replaced. Had decent feul eco for size but dissapoointed in quality.

Great SUV, Mileage OK - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By Brian K - June 5 - 9:00 pmGreat vehicle for traveling and hauling large groups. Plenty of middle seat leg room. Fit and finish is very good. Folding rear seats are a quick, one hand accomplishment making it easy when your hands are full. With all the seats down there is plenty of room to haul most anything you can imagine from a dresser to a large roll-around tool box. AWD seems to work great and keeps car under control. Very quiet ride and for a large SUV the handling is awesome. No body roll. Vehicle feels safe and very controllable. The larger wheels make for a smoother ride as well, especially off road which has occurred while in the mountains on a couple of occasions. Get the service update for the transmission.

Worst vehicle ever! - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By dissapointed9 - May 18 - 7:40 amThis is the worst vehicle weve ever owned.It was purchased new in 07 & has been a complete dissapointment since.It started with engine problems(cams/housing was manufactured incorrectly) & was in the shop apx. 2 weeks for a rebuild. Within days of this repair, the power steering pump failed. This happened at apx 40,000 miles. This spring the wipers failed, leaving us in a dangerous situation.Within a few months of that incident, the transmission failed and again was in the shop several weeks. Immediately after the transmission repair, the low gears failed to engage. Conveniently, it was a computer problem, so not covered under warranty. Today the dash lights/displays failed.Whats next?

Excellent product from GM but... - 2007 Saturn Outlook
By Dave - May 4 - 11:36 amHard to believe this is a GM product. Looks and drives more like a Honda or Toyota. So far after 8100 miles the car has been solid with no problems. Steering feel is very good, handling is nice for a SUV of this size, and acceleration is good once you know how to goose the transmission. There is a significant issue with the design. The doors and rear window are high. Visibility out the back is very bad and makes backing up safely a challenge. My real world fuel economy has been around 17 city/21 highway. At 75 MPH plus, the transmission does hunt in and out of 6th gear.
