  I love my vue - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By kayeaux - February 27 - 2:00 am

  The vue is a powerful suv and a fun vehicle to drive. It is also a comfortable ride and we enjoy it very much. The fuel economy (21-22) is not quite up to my expectations yet but thecar only has 2300 miles and I hope it will improve as it gets a few more miles. Any way we love our vue

  More than youd expect! - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By MsStephanie - February 22 - 10:00 am

  I was up in the air whether to choose the equinox or the VUE. Of course, after my test drive and the friendly dealers, I chose the VUE. Excellent response on acceleration and smooth ride with the V6. Am really very impressed with overall quality and handling of this smaller SUV. I dont hear the noises or feel the sluggishness that others have found. Excellent buy as far as Im concerned in the SUV class.

  I havent had my Vue very long, but so far I love it! I bought the red line model right off the show room floor and wouldnt trade it for anything! It looks good and drives excellent! In five years I hope to trade it in on another Vue.

  Happy so far - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By ARETY - September 9 - 2:00 am

  Just bought a new VUE for my wife a week ago. I looked for a used lexus rx300 for six months but could not find the right one at the right price. Only have 200 miles on it so far but all is good. Very solid and quite capable in our latest Michigan snow storm. Smooth ride and no rattles yet. The Vue is not as well appointed as the lexus but it was under $26,000 out the door and the 2001 RX300s were around $28,000 with 40-50 thousand miles on them. The 3.5L honda motor is SMOOTH. With 70 more horsepower than last year this is a true 7 second second cute-ute. I would have bought the redline but my wife didnt like the stiffer ride.

  The Vue is good, the noise is too loud - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By spcljac - August 18 - 4:23 pm

  I bought my Vue brand new in 2004. The reliablity is good. The rear motor on the back window is going, the mileage is great 22 in the city and 27- 28 on the highway. The comfort level is good. The problem is the road noise is terrible. Even with all the windows up you can hear all the road noise, it is deafening.

  Gotta love this car - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By yougie12345 - August 10 - 4:15 am

  mom bought this car two years old with 26000 miles on it. it now has 105000 on it and still runs great. since she has given it to me and the only thing i ever have to do with it is put gas in it, and it really does pretty well around town on gas (26ish) since we have owned it she has had to put breaks on it and new tires. thats it :) overall a great car, good job saturn

  Dangerous shifting difficulties! - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By Anakala - July 17 - 10:00 am

  Extreme difficulity ""finding" gears ... especially downshifting to first after stop. Interior finishes and seat covers are poor materials and finish.

  No problems with our VUE - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By no problems here - April 2 - 10:10 pm

  Purchased new in 5-04. Purchased the 5-spd for the great gas mileage. Perhaps I just picked a good one, but we havent really had any problems. I did have a solenoid go out in the first 10k, but everythings been great since then. Its an inexpensive car, not a BMW, and for the price its been great. I purchased the seat cleaning option since I have young kids. My car looks new inside and out at 42k and runs great, too!
