This Year's Model Updates:

A new 3.5-liter V6 replaces the previous 3.0-liter unit. Larger 17-inch wheels and tires are now standard on the V6 AWD model and optional on the front-wheel-drive version. Antilock brakes are standard on all V6 models. The interior has been upgraded to reduce noise and now incorporates metallic and leather trim. The front seats now have seatbelt pre-tensioners and dual-stage front airbags. New entertainment choices include MP3-compatible CD players, satellite radio and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system (late availability).

Pros:
  • Strong V6, large doors ease entry/exit, spacious cabin, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, good fuel economy.
Cons:
  • Bland interior, low-grade plastics, inconsistent build quality, noisy four-cylinder, vague steering.

    If you can afford the power seats, get them. This is the only option on the car I wish I had spent the extra bucks on.

    This car is fun to drive. I test drove several highly rated SUVs, but decided on the Vue because of its get-up-and-go and looks. I like the way it handles and the safety ratings impressed me. I appreciated that Saturn did the recall with haste. I appreciated Saturns no- hassle sales.

    My husband and I decided to buy a Vue because of the gas mileage it gets being an AWD vehicle. I comute about 70 miles each day, so the gas mileage was the main thing we were looking at. We also decided to go with the 2004 model since it had the new Honda engine and Im so glad we did!!! The engine is very powerful, but is also quiet. Its a very fun vehicle to drive and has also proven to be a safe one. Were so happy that we chose the Vue over the Mazda Tribute/Ford Escape that we were looking at. Saturn salesman are outstanding also!

    This Sport-ute rocks my world! The buying experience was Saturn approved. Ive had 3 Saturns and no matter what the review companies say the trade in value is great after a few years. And the build quality is as good as my friends Hondas and Toyotas. This engine flys and is a smooth operator. I would suggest this SUV to anyone who wants a big bang for their buck!
