  Good car for the money - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By driver75 - June 8 - 12:43 pm

  Much cheaper than Toyota and Honda. Have only had a few minor things that the dealer repaired quickly. A/C could be colder, but other than that it is great for long trips.

  Saturn is on the move - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By James Petty - May 29 - 9:46 am

  My wife and I have 6 kids and they enjoy the space and watching DVDs while we travel around town or on the road. We like the storage compartments in the back and over head.The power outlets that let you plug just about anything into it.

  I love this vehicle. This is my 7th Saturn so I can honestly say that it is a fantastic product. I currently own 3 including this one. I am getting @20 MPG in the city and @27 on the highway. Great vehicle.

  The worst vehicle I have ever owned... - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By notagoodvan - February 3 - 5:00 am

  This van has been nothing but a nightmare since the beginning. We should have sold it back under lemon law but we never thought the problems would continue. We certainly never thought that if the problems continued that Saturn would say...sorry you are stuck with it. It has had quite a few different brake problems, major door problems, issues with the windshield or something near there causing an extremely loud wind noise that was never able to be fixed, door paneling falling off, radio replaced 3 times, DVD player replaced once, rear sensor malfunction, broken seatbelt upon purchase, broken horn upon purchase and more...yes theres more. Its a terrible van and Saturn does not back it.

  Finally an economical 7 seater - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Michael Boyd - January 12 - 7:40 am

  We have only owned this Relay for a short time but we love it. It has more than ample storage and seating space with tons of standard features. We get excellent gas mileage, mp3 capability and a standard DVD player. This van is extremely comfortable and smooth.

  I see its not just me - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By mike d - May 23 - 3:00 am

  I do not know how many times I have had this van to the dealer. Things replaced off the top of my head, fuel sensor, radio,and windshield wiper motor to list a few. There is a constant noise in the front hubcaps when going 20 mph like sticking a playing card in a bike tire. Was told they fixed it with spacer washer in the lugs. No it is still there. They cant fix the front cupholders will not close or open properly. Need new tires and brakes at 30,000. This might be one of the cheaper suv/minivans out there but for 22000+ I expect a decent vehicle this is not. Cant wait till my lease is up to get into something else. Anything has to be better then this. Buyer Beware!!

  Best in Class In My Opinion - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Bruno - February 24 - 5:40 am

  I took months to test drive all the vehicles in the market for this class. I would like everyone to know that for the buck, the RELAY is the best vehicle I have ever found! Between the Safety and Reliability that Saturn is already known for, I dont think Ill ever buy anthing but a Saturn!

  Excellent quality love this van - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By CEWCORP - February 18 - 6:46 am

  Have now over 100k miles with no problems. Excellent van that does everything right, everything is still in perfect working order and exterior and interior still looks brand new with no inside garaging. This is my 5th Saturn vehicle and I have had no problems with any of them and I have had all models. Love this car. Stuck in a southern California blizzard once and this car was the only one able to negotiate the freeway safely and did so well I felt like I was driving under normal conditions. Also, really liked the buying experience with Saturn and all the service experiences. This car was very stress free to own

  Do Your Homework - 2005 Saturn Relay
  By Micaela Edwards - January 8 - 2:30 pm

  I loved my first two Saturn’s; a 1992 SL-2 and a 1995 Sc-1. The trouble is, the Relay isn’t a Saturn in the traditional sense since it’s essentially the same as the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6 and the Buick Terraza. The ride is rough, handling is poor, and the acceleration is weak. I really wanted to like the Relay but it’s been in the shop twice for warranty repair within the first 2000 miles. The issues were; the Service Theft System warning light is constantly coming on and the engine runs rough, often hesitating. My best advice, do some homework.
