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.

  Solid and Fun, One quick little SUV - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By zules - February 10 - 8:33 am

  The Saturn VUE with the 3.5 liter V6 has much more power and response than I expected. It is fun to drive and hugs the road. I took it on a trip from Southern California to Oregon and it was really comfortable to drive. The only thing that was a bit of an annoyance was that the seats are a bit narrow and the arm rests are too close.

  2005 Saturn VUE FWD V6 Value - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By BDub - January 28 - 11:03 pm

  With the employee pricing and cash rebates, the VUE offers a fantastic value for the money. I purchased the V6 FWD model with optional leather seats, head curtain airbags, sunroof, alloy wheels, and MP3 CD player, all for under $25k out the door (including tax and title). The engine is smooth and refined. The Chili Pepper Red has received compliments from friends and pedestrians alike. Saturn has done a good job designing a car that provides the necessary features in a nice little package. I have read others comment about the gas mileage, and I, too, have not been getting the sticker, but then, it is summer in Southern California, and I have the air conditioner blasting!

  Replacing with Same - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By luvsaturns - January 25 - 7:02 am

  I loved my VUE until it was totaled in a side impact accident two weeks ago. Despite the 180 degree spin and a roll over onto the driver side - I was left in good shape. No broken bones or cuts. And the safety glass and airbags did their thing. This was my 2nd Saturn - have a 95 SL2 that I also loved - and I cant replace it with anything but another VUE. Weve had it camping, to the beach, and on many road trips. Have compared it to many other SUVs Ive rented for business over the years and nothing has ever measured up for ease of use, simple ergonomics, and just plain fun. Ill really miss that truck - but look forward to the new one.

  I am very happy I chose the VUE. Comfortable, reliable, and quiet running. It has everything I need. Very spacious and great room in the back. Absolutely no regrets.

  Best car that I have owned - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Joe - November 3 - 2:33 am

  I bought this VUE after trading in a 2003 ION which I had a lot of problems with. It was worth losing a little bit of money to gain the VUE. I have had no problems with this VUE. This VUE has great looks, and performs really well. I got 30mpg on the road and about 19mpg around town. Just recently my wife was rearended and she hit the person in front of her and the VUE did great with only a few scrathes on back and a bent plastic chrome in front. The Blazer that hit her was in bad shape.This VUE is the best new car that we have owned for reliability and safety.

  You get what you pay for - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By dejeanco - October 29 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my truck for this Vue when the gas prices were sky high. I had owned a Saturn before, so I knew what I was getting. I didnt pay much for the Vue. Its about what I expected. I bought the car with 30,000 miles on it. It now has 80,000. Ive had the A/C repaired. Thats about it. Its just a car. Nothing fancy. I think its funny when people review these things like they were built by Mercedes Benz and then complain when any little thing goes wrong. You bought a Saturn, not a Mercedes. You got what you paid for.

  Poor Mileage, Awful Seats, but its FAST - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By redcheese - October 25 - 11:46 am

  I was looking for something that could tow a 3500 lb. trailer, get decent gas mileage and could be parallel parked in downtown San Francisco. I chose between the Saturn Vue & Honda Pilot. The Honda was much more comfortable, had better steering, but was 1000 lbs. heavier, had special requirements for towing and was noticeably slower. In the end, I settled on a used 2005 AWD V6 Saturn Vue. Hate the seats & get poor mileage. 13 MPG city and 19 hwy. Towing, I get 17. Mileage-wise, I cant really complain though...it has the same engine/ tranny as the Honda. Did I mention how much I hate the seats??!

  Excellent Value - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By HappyOwner - October 22 - 10:33 pm

  I purchased this vehicle to replace my 1996 SL2. GM was running the employee pricing and 0% financing for my VUE V6 AWD with leather seats, Safe and Sound package and sunroof, which I got for about 25K. The AWD is fantastic, getting me through the worst of weather with confidence. OnStar has been a great feature, giving me directions, answering questions if a warning light comes on on the dashboard and with their remote unlock service. The car accelerates well, steers well, is comfortable for long drives and has a tremendous amount of cargo space for a compact SUV. Three years later, I still love this vehicle.

  The best decision I made - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Great suv, price - October 19 - 11:30 pm

  Ive owned tons of cars but I never thought I would own a Saturn. I thought they were kind of ugly and was not sure of their quality. Now I know Saturns are very reliable the side panels are a must and their performance is excellent in a great price. Dealerships super friendly and in the two years, 65,000 hard miles on my VUE, the convenience and spaciousness made it the best choice amongst others I tested. It might not be a handsome truck but with a few mods it turns heads. I am very happy with my purchase after all, me personally have never seen a Saturn stuck on the road.
