This Year's Model Updates:

The Relay is an all-new "crossover sport van." Think of it as a minivan with an SUV-like front end.

Pros:
  • Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

  • Make for Moms - 2005 Saturn Relay
    By -

    This vehicle is the best vehicle that I have ever purchased. It roomy, kid friendly, it drives like a Cadillac. Its has the room to accomodate my 3 kids with all of their sports equipment. My gas mileage is wonderful. It is a family vehicle. I compliment Saturn for producing a family vehicle at a resonable cost. I had to evacutate for Hurricane Rita with my new van. I was so pleased with the roominess and gas mileage. I had my family as well as my 87 year old grandmother with her walker and weelchair in my vehicle. I just cant say enought about my experience with the Saturn. I love it.

    Weve had our Saturn Relay since the middle of 2005 and love it. We have almost every option available and had few problems. Its comfortable to long distance travel especially with kids. We travel 8 to 12 hours with 5 kids and its a complete dream. Weve had a problem with the DVD player but other than that its been great. I wish it had a little bit better gas mileage than 18-21 mpg during these days of high gas prices but other than that I love it.

  • Be Careful - 2005 Saturn Relay

    I was a first time Saturn buyer and being newly married and now having 4 children I needed something for us all that was also affordable. I chose the 2005 Relay. Very nice looking outside and inside, good sound system and DVD player! A week later it started having acceleration problems. Warning message was Reduced Engine Power. It was replaced. This happened 3 more times over the next few months. I had to threaten legal action but Saturn replaced my Relay. I got a 2006 VUE as the replacement and have been very happy so far. My situation may not be normal; but it happened. Be careful when thinking of buying this vehicle.

  • Its Been Good to Me - 2005 Saturn Relay

    This car has been reliable and comfortable. I have nearly 82,000 miles on this car and other than replacing the rear wiper motor (after warranty), the car has only needed normal wear and tear service.

  • Great choice for this family of 6 - 2005 Saturn Relay
    By -

    Getting a Saturn Relay turned out to be one of the best moves weve made. Having four kids, we wanted to make sure we got a vehicle that would be convenient for all of us. Sometimes you dont know if its the right vehicle until its too late. And that can be unfortunate. as it turns out we picked the right one. The kids all have their "favorite seats" and they enjoy long rides keeping occupied by watching a movie, listening to music, or playing video games, all with the option of using dual channel wireless headphones. As far as driving goes, it handles great, I like the way the Relay sits up, its not to high off the ground like some SUVs, its perfect.

    I have found several problems with this car and its only a few months old.. First I will be having the radio replaced for the 3rd time since purchasing this car in February. It seems to be shorting out and it makes the steering wheel extremely hot. The car also does NOT have any pick up, I have had other minivans in the past and this is the worst when it comes to that. It also has a habit of shaking as you are braking in the event of having to do so in a quick situation. It makes a grinding noise when you are braking as well. The service center claims this is normal and cannot find anything wrong with it. I would not recommend this car nor would I purchase one again.

  • Impressive - 2005 Saturn Relay

    The Relay is easier to drive than my old Chevy Venture. I liked how easy it was to remove all of the seats out of the Relay, and the spacious room it created to put a patio set in with room to spare.

  • We love our Relay - 2005 Saturn Relay

    We have had our Relay for 6 months. We love it. Very comfortable, all kinds of extras. Best all around deal on the market. It is our 4th Saturn vehicle. We have had issue with the sound cutting out but it is such a small thing that is easily fixed. The wonderful vehicle far out weighs a little issue like that.
