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.

Will never buy another Saturn - 2005 Saturn VUE
By Michelle - June 7 - 8:03 amWe have had our 2005 Saturn Vue for a little over 2 years. We have taken it in countless times for poor mileage, hesitation, etc. Now at 45000 the wheel bearings have gone. If the service department was at all helpful - at any Saturn Dealership we have been to - it would have been a more bearable experience. However, we recieve no solutions to our problems and Saturn will not pay for the wheel bearings either - surely this was part of some of our earlier problems. Also, this car is noisy.. despite its hefty original purchase price of over $26K - we would have gotten a whole lot more out of our money if we had spent a few more thousand on a BMW or Mercedes in the same class. NEVER AGAIN!

ONE YEAR LATER - 2005 Saturn VUE
By LIBBY - April 6 - 2:16 pmI wasnt planning to buy a Saturn, but after test driving the competition (Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4) I was more impressed with better ride and handling of the Vue. It has a bigger feel to it. I got the Sport package that gave me alot more for the price than the other vehicles. The gas mileage is great, and I have plenty of room to haul stuff around. Customer service is tops. I put on a lot of freeway miles, so the handling issue and safety rating was a key selling point. I traded in a little Sentra. What a difference for $7 more a month in car payment which includes the Car Care service.

My dragonfly - 2005 Saturn VUE
By megan - March 17 - 12:46 amThis vehicle has been superb. Easy handling, comfortable. Easy to get into and out of vehicle. I like everything about this car. This is my first SUV, so I am still adjusting to the differences between my 2002 Saturn Car and this 2005 Vue.

Vue Red Line Sieres - 2005 Saturn VUE
By VUE Red Line Series - March 3 - 2:50 amThe vehicle is still pretty new with 800 plus miles but the things I like the best are the comfort of the heated leather seats. The drivers seat is electrically 6 way adjustable, and is comfortable for a big man like myself at 64" and 200 lbs. It has plenty of headroom and you dont feel cramped. The power from the 250 HP V6 engine is great, and the economy is good. Im getting almost 29.8 miles per gallon on the highway. It drives and handles perfect on curves and winding roads, and the supension is impressive. The VUE is good for the times I haul kids and gear. With the roomy interior, its very functional for a mini SUV. I wanted something sporty looking, yet able to fit the bill for family needs and be easy on the wallet.

Saturn does not get enough credit - 2005 Saturn VUE
By AJ - February 25 - 9:16 pmI love my VUE. Saturn prices are reasonable, we were able to get the top of the line vehicle at a reasonable price compared to other car manufacters. It is fun to drive. I feel safe. It has awesome pick-up, and a smooth ride. This is the second Saturn Ive owned and I am hooked.

uncomfortable seats - 2005 Saturn VUE
By marta Cano - February 19 - 12:53 pmThe person who designed the drivers seat did not sit in it for long periods of time. I drive 3 hrs everyday and at the end of the day have severe back pain, and at the end of the week I have back pain and neck pain. I told this to a coworker who also owns a Saturn and drives almost as much as I do and his answer was " yes, their seats are not comfortable". My son in law owns an ION and has the same complaint about "their seats are uncomfortable".
