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.

  • MY SILVER SURFER - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    MY OVERALL REVIEW OF MY SATURN VUE, IS AN HONEST ONE. THIS IS A VEHICLE FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS THE COMFORT OF A SEDAN AND THE CARGO SPACE FOR MOVING MEDIUM SIZED FURNITURE, GROCERIES AND LUGGAGE. I LOVE MY VUE...IT IS COOL, FUN AND NOT SOME HUGE VEHICLE THAT I NEED A LADDER TO GET INTO. I AM GLAD THAT I DID SOME COMPARISON SHOPPING!!!

  • So FAr So Good - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I love the new 2004 Vue. The looks are stylish, interior is very roomy. Agreed that the interior is a little bland but I love simple design. Options are easy to use and not complicated. Performance is very good, 250hp gets you were you have to go quick. The interior noise is very little, bumps in road are hardley noticeable. Gas millage is right under 20mpg average mostly city driving.

    WE LOVE THIS SUV. WE ARE BOTH GOOD SIZE PEOPLE & I HAVE A BAD LEG & I NEED ROOM TO GET IN & OUT, WELL THIS IS IT. WE GOT GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AS HIGH AS 28.5MPG. WOULDNT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.

  • Fun and Reliable - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    This car has been great. People say my car needs a saddle because of the way I drive. This car has been a dream to drive. It handles very well & pick up is fantastic. I am short and its 8" ground clearance suits me just fine. My husband is quite tall & doesnt need to climb out of it. The interior is really comfortable & well appointed. The added cargo carrier in the back makes carting groceries easy. The exterior design is attractive. The 17" aluminum alloy wheels give it a real sporty feel. The sales people at the dealership were excellent. They walk you through every aspect of the purchase. I will continue to purchase from Saturn.

  • Midsize Vue - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I just purchased a 2004 Saturn Vue. My first time as a Saturn owner, and I have to say that the performance and the overall style of the vehicle are great. I had a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer and I like that car with only 20,000 miles. But I trade my cars in every two years. I would greatly recommend anyone to buying a Saturn Vue. I like having a midsize SUV.

  • Cant find anything wrong with it. - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I have had my new Vue for one month. I have not been able to find anything wrong with it.(and I have tried) Drove from Marietta Georgia to Lady Lake, Florida on less than two tanks of gas.

  • More Fun Per Dollar - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    My VUE is what a car should be, practical, economica and reliable. For under 25,000 I have V6 power, leather, heated seats, sun roof, 25 miles to the gallon and great dealer suppor. I am a new Saturn customer who likes what they got for the money!

  • Cant Be Beat for $25K - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Coming from a Toyota Seinna and after looking at many cars and reading about them on Edmunds, the VUE was a "dark horse". But with the updated interior and 250HP V6 for 2004, it became clear that this vehicle is really fun to drive and easy on the pocket book. With comfy leather seats, moonroof, MP3 player, great gas mileage (so far 26MPG),great reliability for this drivetrain and excellent safety ratings, this makes for a GREAT vehicle.

  • Really A Great Surprise - 2004 Saturn VUE
    By -

    It is a great vehicle! I was shocked to see that I could get in and out with contorting my limbs! Also, when my wife drives, I can stretch my legs out straight in the passenger side (Iam 6ft 2in and a BIG guy) Ive taken 4 road trips already and it averages the 25/mpg and is a treat to drive. The sport package makes it a great car!
