Overview & Reviews

Revised interior and exterior trim details freshen up the interior of Saturn's SUV. Four-cylinder models get new machined alloy wheels in place of last year's painted alloys, along with new seat fabric, and a four-speed automatic transmission in place of the former CVT unit. All-wheel drive is no longer available on four-cylinder Vues.

• Strong V6, spacious cabin, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, good fuel economy.

• Too many low-grade and ill-fitting interior materials, undersized front seats, vague steering.

  Happy in Rhode Island - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Happy in R.I - April 24 - 7:20 pm

  I enjoy my VUE. It is fun to drive and it doesnt guzzle the gas like most SUVs in its class. I couldnt decide between the AWD and the FWD. I decided on the FWD and I am very pleased with its performance in the snow and it saved me a couple thousand dollars. I recommend the V6, it has good get up and go!

  Love this Car - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Juan - April 16 - 7:53 am

  I got this car since new, it is so much fun to drive. Yes, I have put some money in it but just to keep in "AA" condition, I have about 150,000 miles and I have changed 3 wells bearings, 2 Struts, 3 times brakes pads 3 times new tires & 1 time motor mounts & of course bunch of Oil Changes. As you can see all those are normal things to change for the age and millage. Beside that, there were only a couple annoying little things as water reservoir tank & Gas Cap ( I think they were defective items for this model) I normally change car every 2-3 years but I never been so happy with a car as I am with this. I may keep it for another 2 years.

  Third Times the charm - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By STRN30 - April 16 - 7:40 am

  This is my third Saturn in 6 years, and I am very happy with my VUE. Easy to drive, not too big, Seats are comfortable, pick-up is great. Miles per gallon is very much like the L200: about 26 highway/20 city. Traction control with ABS makes me feel very safe on the snow covered roads. Sideview mirrors that fold in-such an added bonus. Love the space and the leather/cloth seats. I read that a lot of owners thought the engine was too loud. I am not finding that to be an issue. Love the compass, temp gage/dimming rear view mirror. Overall, for me- it is a great vehicle. Gives me the room I need for me and my dog on trips. Recommend this vehicle to anyone. I feel safe, and love driving in it.

  I love my VUE! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Mandice77 - April 6 - 11:53 am

  I love my Saturn VUE and am so glad I decided to purchase one! It rides so smooth and I feel so safe in it. I love the Honda motor in it making it drive so much better! The service Saturn provides is also wonderful and I would recommend a Saturn to anyone!

  Practical - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By wedge - March 11 - 6:40 am

  A good SUV for the money (you get what you pay for) but plan on keeping it as the depreciation is fast and aggressive. Its a light SUV so its fast for its size. OEM tyres are awful/borderline dangerous and not many choices for replacements. Paint quality is pretty poor too. Its a good family car and a practical wagon for general use. Front suspension problems, fuel pump issues, battery issues, tyre issues in first 10k. Buy a rear rubber mat. It makes squeaks a lot quieter!

  Another Excellent Creation - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Rachelle White - February 26 - 2:46 am

  It is truly a pleasure driving such a well built SUV. I got so much more for my money especially in added ammenities. The customer service department at Saturn is well trained to answer any questions that I have about the VUE.

  Why GM deserves no more of my business - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Robert Lorber - February 5 - 9:23 am

  The VUE rides and handles very well.The car has lots of power and is reasonably comfortable. But, the interior is cheap looking. The gas mileage is mediocre (I have been unable to get it past 18 mpg under any circumstance). My biggest complaint is being stonewalled by Saturn for their reneging on a commitment made to me when I bought the vehicle. When I made the purchase, I requested a privacy panel option. They told me that the existing panel design was defective and that Saturn was redesigning the panel and it would be available in 3 months time. After 3 months, I contacted Saturn and was told that this panel is not being remade and is not available. GM integrity?

  Ridges Vue - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Ridges Vue - January 10 - 2:30 pm

  Over all this has been my favorite thus far. The interior could be a little more solid as the windows leak air. My family loves to take this car everywhere we travel. For being and SUV you cant be the MPG at 24.

  Best car I ever had - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Carole Chenot - January 6 - 7:30 am

  This car helped make driving in the snow a less frightening experience; handling so well. It was also comfortable to drive, got good gas mileage, handled beautifully, sat solid on the road. I lost it in a divorce and would love to have another one, but cant afford it. My daughter and her husband bought a Saturn Vue because they liked ours so well. They were expecting and liked all the features the Vue had to offer for their new baby. It holds so much; weve taken it on several trips and it carried everything we needed. I highly recommend the Vue.
