  Excellent Vehicle - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By KB - December 3 - 7:40 am

  We absolutley love our new Saturn Relay. Working with the Saturn salespeople was great. No hassles and no run-around. The Relay has a sporty drive while still maintaining a smooth car-like ride. This is a wonderful family vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone with small children. I especially like how easy it is to load children into the 2nd or 3rd row seats.

  The Relay is Definitely a Good Choice - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By ian07042003 - July 18 - 12:40 am

  Our last four cars before the Relay have been Saturns. The Saturn reliability, styling, service, and price are very hard to beat. And the new Relay definitely does not disappoint in that regard.

  Love my Van - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Cynthia - June 10 - 3:16 am

  The sales staff was very accomdating, especially after the purchase. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. I am a previous owner of the Grand Caravan and I like my Saturn so much more. So far I am getting around 27/28 mpg on highway and 24 city. The toybox is a great separation from my young kids (little less fighting). The only problem so far is the door handle frame on my front passenger door handle keeps popping off. When it pops off, we have difficulty open the door from the inside. Very easy to clean, especially since I can lift up the caption chairs to vacuum under them. This is great for those who have young ones that drop fries, M&Ms, gummy bears, etc.

  18 trips to the shop in 2 yrs. - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By J Robinson - April 13 - 10:40 am

  Ive bought 2 relays. My 1st was totaled in an accident so we bought a 2nd. Ive been to the shop 18 times in 2.5 yrs. Ive had my rotors replaced 2x, 5 drive belts in 8 wks., 2 tensioner in 8 wks., new heater system, onstar unit, side panels, wood trim, pwr steering unit. Ive had my computer reset so my headlights dont fail. My pwr doors open when driving, (with my 3 children in the back.) those are just some of the problems weve had. Ive dealt w/ Saturn assistance & they offered me free oil changes to make it right. I will never buy another Saturn again. I may never buy gm b/c of this. I no longer support Saturn in anyway. They do not take care of their customers.

  Family friendly and easy to buy - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By SaturnMom - April 6 - 5:53 am

  It started with our love for our local Saturn dealer who we bought with before. The company has an easy no-haggle sales policy, so I never had to fear being ripped off or my time being wasted by money games. Also our local dealer has an excellent service department. I first bought the Relay 3 FWD but traded it in during my 30 day trade-in satisfaction guarantee period for the Relay 2 model. I enjoy the toy box and added visibility over the bucket seats in the Relay 2 second row. If you have younger children, these are a practical option. I also value Saturns Bumper to Bumper Extended Warranty program vs. competitors Limited warranties for worry free ownership.

  DONT BUY THIS VAN - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Give the van back - January 1 - 1:20 am

  This vehicle is horrible. Yes the interior is nice but the ABS and stablization controls are always broken. Sliding doors will randomly open - or they may not open at all - its a gamble. Have to press the gas to get it started - engine has a hard time turning over. Lights flicker. Saturn will tell you this is "normal" - but its still not acceptable. They should all be recalled and demolished.

  LEMON!!! Dont buy one of these cars - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By jamikey - December 25 - 12:00 pm

  I have had multiple problems with this car. My side paneling has peeled off 3 times now, the ABS system has had problems, and the remote sliding door has been replaced and the remote for it doesnt even work. That is just a few of the problems associated with the car. My latest problem is the engine blew in the car (yes, that is right!!) while in another state. They said that there was a bulletin about this potential problem, but since there hasnt been very many people with this problem, it wasnt a recall. The car has 26,000 miles on it. I have 2 children and do not feel safe driving this car. The child lock on rear door also locks on its own, trapping kids inside. Dangerous car!

  Saturn Relay. A Lot of Problems - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Sharon - October 14 - 11:00 am

  We have owned 3 Saturns before this one. This one is a true lemon! It has been in the shop more than it has been on the road. Had many service bulletins out already. My timing belt went the 1st year. Radio is cheap and never tunes in. Molding outside falls off all the time. Back wiper changed 3xs already. CD player hums when you hit the gas. Lights go dim and bright while driving. I can go on and on. A lemon by far.

  Do not like engine performance. Interiors, they are not bad but can get better. Overall good.

  Good Deal - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By SMED - June 19 - 3:03 am

  We have spent 3 months analyzing different minivans. It has been a good environment for getting a deal. However, comfort in the front and back were most important. The Saturn Relay and the Honda Odysey were the two most comfortable. The Quest was uncomfortable, but offered the best deal. We love the Saturn. The inside looks like leather, and the trim is very nice. The outside is designed to look more like a SUV than a minivan. It is very roomy inside and I like to two captains chairs. We paid $27,500 for a Relay 3 , loaded. It handles great. The kids love the DVD. I love the rear ultrasonic sensors and my paralell parking has improved. The OnStar is pretty cool.
