  • Love my Vue 170,000 still reliable and dependable - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    The 2009 Vue I own is the best. I recently considered trading it in and realized the service the vehicle has given me. For 5 years my used Saturn has been in the shop only once. I generally get about 300+ miles in the city on one tank of gas. The highway is right at 400. Great vehicle. 170,000 miles and go where I desire to go!

    I just bought my v6 vue loaded with leather, I just cant say enough about it, I dont know why people says it gets bad gas milage, I am getting 27.5 mile per gallon on highway not bad for an suv and did I mention the power 257 hp wow and the 6 speed transmission is great. Too bad this company is going bye bye. The only thing this suv should have is seperate climate controls. So, if you are looking for a great suv with great looks, handling and power dont hesitate go and get yourself the xr v6 sat vue now before it is too late.

  • Great SUV - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Waited for over a year before making my purchase. The 2009 VUE XR has everything I could ever want in a car. Great smooth ride, excellent interior features. I enjoy having everything at my finger tips. I love the exterior look of the 2009. All my neighbors do a double take b/c they cant believe its a Saturn. 99% of my miles are highway, so the MPG isnt that big od deal to me. The XR V-6 engine is powerful and smooth. The shifting is so smooth you cant tell how fast your going until you look at the speedometer. Ride in this car is like a luxury car. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a new SUV.

  • Love this car! - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    We bought our 05 Vue new four years ago and when it came time for a new car we wanted nothing else. Our old one had zero problems with it and had 78k on the odometer. We brought our new 09 Vue home and just love it. We couldnt be happier. The build quality is dramatically better as is the comfort and interior trims. The old one was good, but this one is great. This is our third purchase from a Saturn dealer and the buying experience is always easy and hassle-free. Saturns have many nice options are included in the package price of the car. We dont have to add on much at all if anything. Will definitely purchase a Saturn again and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new SUV

  • Couldnt be Happier - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Ive only driven my new 09 VUE XE enough to exhaust a single tank of gas, but my satisfaction with this car warrants some serious praise. The upscale Euro styling, both inside and out, is simply unmatched within this price range. Fit, finish and interior materials truly are class-leading. The ride is solid, quiet, and smooth. I choose the 2.4L based on both cost and fuel economy and dont regret the decision. While the 4 wont win you any races, its more than adequate for both city and freeway driving. I moved from a Chevy Trailblazer to the VUE and would trade the refinement of this ride over the TBs power any day.

  • WOW - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I was ready to purchase an SUV, looking for just the right fit. After testing out 3 other versions of the compact SUVs I found what I wanted. The 4 cyl has plenty of power and so far after 2 weeks, the mileage is fine. Averaging 22 MPG even with a heavy foot. With this model and features I didnt have to settle, I got what I wanted and enjoy the XM radio, & OnStar features.

  • Saturn Vue Hybrid 09 - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Excellent exterior styling, very much like a Lexus RX330. Interior well laid out, comfortable, and quiet. Like the climate controls - even though not dual-zone, can set temperature. Lots of room. Mechanically, the vehicle performs very well - hybrid action almost unnoticeable. Only indication really is a sense of background "braking" as the energy recovery system kicks in on some deceleration, though that is not objectionable in the least. Acceleration is very good, especially for a 4-cyl. Sound system is excellent (love the satellite radio).

  • Best Value for the Money - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I dont understand expert reviews that say the 2.4 Ecotect motor in the Vue is underpowered. Wards Auto World rates GMs 2.4-liter Ecotec as one of the best engines built in America. While not a dragster or a muscle car it has plenty of power to get on the freeway. It defiantly is not sluggish espesially from a stand still. Its gas mileage is better than expected at 26 miles per gallon city/freeway. We are past owners of Cadillac’s. Mama has not had to give up any luxuries. In fact some of its standard features are options on other sub-compact crossovers you have to pay extra for. We really do not feel we could have found a better value for the money. So far we couldnt be happier.

  • So far so good - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Just purchased this car used with low miles on it. Excited to see how it handles. So far I love the interior, the solidness of the build and the way it looks. Its really starting to shine. Ill be doing some good detailing on it since I am somewhat compulsive when it comes to cars. Replacing a 05 Ford Escape base model. I dont think even the 09 version of the Escape XLT matches this car.

  • I Love my Vue! - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I have been looking at the Vue for quite a while now. When I was researching SUVs I always went back to the Vue. I am not sorry. I love it. The gas mileage, for an SUV, is quite good. I am just sorry that GM has chosen to rid itself of Saturn. Shame on them and shame on Penske for not taking it over. Its your loss.
