  Love it - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By CDXmixbreedMom - May 11 - 10:00 am

  I own the Saturn Vue V6 AWD for over a year and have been really happy with the auto, so far. The gas mileage isnt bad at all and hopefully, it will be as reliable as my past 2 Saturns have been. (Ive owned a 1991 SL2, which I had for over 10 years, with no problems, and also currently own a 1999 SL2, which also has had no problems) Ive taken a couple of really big trips and its unbelievable the amount of stuff I was able to fit in.

  The Saturn is the best car we have ever owned it has been incredibly cheap to operate, fun to drive and it give one a sens of feeling safe. We live in Florida and the air conditioning system is incredible.

  Loving it So Far - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By clayg420 - February 15 - 10:00 am

  I was pretty much set on an Escape-my sister has one and I liked it well enough. Then I read an article on Honda motor in the Vue. Then I went and drove one. Wow, much more car than the Escape and I could get one about the same price. Wanted the Red Line because of articles, but in reality thought it added nothing. Guess I dont drive quite as wild as reviewers. Everbody comments it is much nicer than they had imagined. It rides great, comfortable over our bad Nashville streets, fast enough to merge with confidence. I think the interior is getting a bad rap for previous years. I will say the tan looks much better than the grey.

  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SUV!!! - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By Eric (Modesto, CA) - January 7 - 2:00 am

  Never in a million years would I have seen myself in an SUV. I was always the person saying "Ill be driving a CAR for life!" But the Saturn VUE changed my mind. This SUV is not only fun to drive, but its affordable, gets GREAT gas milage, and the insurrance is relatively cheap. This SUV is a vast improvment from my Dodge. But this SUV still provides all the comforts of a car. Ive driven some SUVs before that feel tipsy (Chevy Blazer). THIS SUV IS AMAZING! Tons of standard features plus many more available at a decent price. This SUV not only has a great reputation, but is the ONLY SUV you should consider!!!!

  A lot of fun - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By Tollag - November 22 - 10:00 am

  If youre looking for a FUN suv, give the 2004 Saturn Vue, with the 3.5 liter Honda/Tranny. This thing is a blast to drive. Its about as fast as my Mini Cooper S, but gives you all the comfort of an SUV. Ride is comfortable, and youre given a feeling of security. The thing looks mean with the new 17" stock wheels, and youre left with tons of uprgade options. DId I mention its fun to drive?

  Great small SUV - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By chris3259 - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I have put 15,000 km on my VUE and my son is driving it as well. I really like the 4cyl and 5 speed combo. You can loaf around town shifting at 2,000 rpm or keep it on the boil at 3,500 and it becomes very sporty and light on its feet. Reliability has been perfect, the dealer was very friendly, and gave me a package that beat the Ford Escape all day.

  Fast and Fun - 2004 Saturn VUE
  By PADriver - November 9 - 1:53 am

  This VUE has some very good acceleration. From the get go it will knock your socks off. Going up the hills and mountains in westren PA are a breeze. Great engine and transmission. Smooth shifting the whole way. Just started the winter season. Took the VUE out in the snow yesterday. Have to get used to the AWD system, it differs from 4x4 slightly. When the wheels slip you seem to need to keep on the gas a little and it grips right out of the spin. The AWD seemed to work just fine, just a little to get used to if youre used to 4x4s. All in all this was a very good vehicle to purchase. Very comfortable on long trips and about town. Im very pleased with the VUE.
