Overview & Reviews

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

• Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, available all-wheel drive.

• Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

  Worst car ever - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By gallagher - October 5 - 7:56 pm

  It is very sad that I report on this. At first we thought it was a good and boy were we wrong. It was given to us by a friend that need us to take over payments and our credit was to bad to get one on our own. Now we are stuck with a lemon nothing but problems - bad brakes, door, tires, trim, abs brakes and the dealers has bad service and now that it is out of warranty.

  WOW - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By John Ingram - July 15 - 9:53 am

  We shopped and shopped and thought Toyota and Honda would be our choice. Then we went to Saturn of Danbury in CT. The staff was amazing but even more impressive was the Relay minivan. The features and safety, combined with how we were treated made the selection a no brainer. Driving and purchasing has made me a believer again in American cars. GO SATURN!

  Great family hauler - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By john - June 19 - 8:06 pm

  On paper, and in some of these reviews, the Relay doesnt look competitive. But once you drive it, youll see that the power is great, even at the low end. The standard features like the DVD player and OnStar are excellent. Stack that on top of the great treatment that you get from the Saturn retailer. This is a great van! My family really enjoys it.

  Relay 3 - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Matt - May 13 - 9:06 am

  In the past two years we have had a Mercedes ML320 and Jaguar X-type.. We have found that our experience with our older 1999 Saturn was far and away superior. Both at the vehicle and dealer levels. We Traded in our Jaguar for the Saturn and have not looked back. We tow our other Saturn behind a motorhome and have had nothing but good luck with it. We hope to have the same with the van. The final decision factors over the Odessey were style and OnStar. The Honda had neither.

  Happy with my Relay - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Love my Relay - May 2 - 4:16 pm

  We purchased our Saturn with only 11000 miles on it from the dealer. It has a smooth ride and is very comfortable. My 4 kids have loved the dvd player and the option to listen to their music and play video games. It comes with a normal plug outlet, very cool! This has come in handy for video games and for vacuming the van. The only problems I have had with the Relay is with the traction stability control system (had it fixed 2X now) and I feel the rotors are cheap. My Relay shakes going down the mountain roads. I was told they have shaved the rotors as much as they can so they will need to be replaced at my next brake job.

  Still not sure. - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Kim - March 31 - 10:50 am

  Weve had our Relay for about 16 months and Im not as happy as I originally was. The molding on the outside is coming off and there is a grating noise everytime I accelerate. There are so many mystery noises its almost unbearable. The door creaks everytime you touch it, as well as the clicking of the DVD player. Weve loved having the DVD player, but my kids are getting as used to it as the radio and no longer is used as often. Overall, Im just not sure the quality is there. But, I guess you get what you pay for.

  Not your average minivan - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Lisa - February 24 - 11:56 am

  I am not a minivan person, drove a few and said NO WAY.. then i saw the Uplander, test drove it and thought I CAN DO this! Couldnt stand the dealers, so went to Saturn to look at the Relay. Its the same vehicle with a different name & I love it. It handles well, the DVD player is a godsend with kids playdates, plus I can fit 6 other adults comfortably. I am getting used to the mileage going from a small car to the Relay, so that is to be expected. The parking assist and OnStar are two great features and being able to control the radio/DVD from the steering wheel is great. Since I got mine, I have convinced 6 other people to get one as well. All love them. This is like an SUV but better

  Vegas Saturn - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By 3 time saturn owner - December 30 - 1:23 am

  I have had more problems with this Saturn than any other. We have had problems with the air conditioning not blowing cold air (the dealer stated that it was blowing fine, but for us the air was coming out hot), the child lock on the rear passenger door engages on its own trapping riders in the van, the wiring was faulty so the van would not start, and now the suspension is creaking. I havent even owned the vehicle for a year yet. The dealer is a 45 minute drive from my house and it takes them all day to fix anything. I am truly disappointed with this experience and do not plan on owning a Saturn again

  Great Choice - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Irvin & Jill - December 12 - 7:30 am

  This is our 4th Saturn & 1st Minivan (although this is labeled a crossover). Again, Saturn has proven - they know what they are doing. We were skeptical in purchasing a minivan, but the SUV look & Minivan comfort did it for us. Affordable, dependable and we get tons of compliments. Get the Automatic door & DVD Player - it is worth it for the little ones. Great use of space front to back; comfortable seats all around. For those anti-minivan folks - this is a good choice. Adults & kids alike have a great ride whether 15 mins or 5 hours. We are really pleased with our RELAY.

  First year model - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By dougp26364 - July 18 - 9:50 pm

  The Saturn view really doesnt look like a minivan which I consider a plus. There are lots of nice features on our Relay 3 which make driving it a joy. It sits up high for good view with other high profile vehicles. The biggest complaint I have after driving it 1,000 miles is the overhead rack system. Its supposed to be convenient storage but the DVD player rattles unmercifully. If its cold outside its almost unbearable. Either Saturn is going to have to do something to correct this oversight or theyre going to have a lot of them in the shop with unhappy customers. I know ours will be in the shop until they make it stop. Otherwise its a great vehicle.
