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.

  Good SUV - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By dave - February 26 - 9:50 pm

  Great Honda V6 engine is smooth & fast. Gas mileage is pretty good for a V6 SUV. It is fun to drive with great a view of the road. There is an ease in entering & exiting the vehicle. Its smart engine advises you when an oil change is nececessary, usually every 10K. The only down side is the cheap interior materials.

  I love my Vue! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By mary - December 30 - 6:26 am

  This is my favorite of all the vehicles Ive had...it is cute, comfortable and so fun to drive. It has lots of trunk space for all my kids sports equipment. We are a family of 5, and ride comfortably on long trips. We considered the Relay for the seating but this was much more fun to drive for my daily errands. My kids say Im obsessed because I baby it...but I really love it. My previous vehicle was a Plymouth Grand Voyager so I was concerned about the room issue, but it hasnt been a problem (and i can fit the Vue in my garage so much easier!!)

  Best SUV - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Soozyq - November 15 - 1:46 pm

  This is my 4 th Saturn. I love the height I sit at. Its less tiring when night driving as the headlights coming at me do not shine directly in my eyes. Thats what I love the best. The rear seat can be tilted slightly so passengers are not uncomfortable. I like the height of the armrests both right and left arm. The grocery bag feature built into the rear is a nice feature keeping the groceries from spilling out all over. Saturns no fuss buying is still appealing when buying a car. I do not like car salesmen. The Saturn service is great and the hours it is open works around my full time schedule.

  Love this car - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Brian - October 18 - 8:20 am

  Believe it or not I get 37mpg on highway with my 5spd 4cyl VUE and my father who has the same but auto still gets an impressive 32mpg. Mine handles like my old Mazda Miata, grabs curves and is great with acceleration. I love this car.

  Great For The Price! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Paul - October 3 - 2:26 pm

  I tested this car against the Jeep Liberty and Honda CRV. Although the Jeep felt tighter and more refined overall, the Vue was much more comfortable and easier to handle. The Vue also offers more interior space than either the Jeep or the Honda. Although Ive only had the vehicle a short time, I expect that the Honda engine will more than stand the test of time. We also own a 2000 Saturn L200, which has given us five years of carefree service; we certainly expect the same of the VUE.

  Near perfect ride - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By lrigemag - September 13 - 7:56 am

  I never had a car buying experiance as pleasant as buying my Saturn VUE. I left feeling like I finally got what I wanted, paid what I wanted, and was treated the way I wanted for the first time. It was apparent that they listened to me, because everything that was important for me to have is in my VUE now. All the safety features that will make me feel secure when out and about with my loved ones on the road.

  Saturn Vue; Fun to Drive - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By LLM - August 24 - 4:53 am

  The Saturn Vue is surprisingly fun to drive and even with the 4 cylinder 2.2 engine it has plenty of pep. It gets approximately 29 miles per gallon on the road, and has a great sound system for a standard system. Naturally the "view is great and it has unobstructed side windows and rear windows for easy driving. All in all its an enjoyable driving SUV at an affordable price for those of us who cant afford a Lexus or Land Rover.

  What a nice VUE - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By John Marshall - August 18 - 1:26 pm

  This little SUV has been great for getting around town and hauling people. The 4 cyl engine gets really good mileage and the stick shift helps me keep the little engine in the power curve above 3000 rpm. Low end torque is limited. Have not had a good experience however with sales and service people at Saturn dealers in Northern New Jersey that is why I bought it in Connecticut.

  Poor Front interior design - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Rich W. - June 26 - 4:33 am

  Like the vehicle-Dont love it. Very practical vehicle. Excellent to drive with Superb Honda 6- give engineer a bonus that recommended that engine- has a wow factor! - great on hi-way. Reduce Salary of Engineer that calculated gas mileage estimates- WAY OFF! I still havent hit 20 mpg. Should have been more honest/accurate in projecting fuel estimates in showroom. Vue takes a beating and cleans up very nice- can be a workhorse for the busy family. Also- I like the exterior design- and engine accessibility

  05 Saturn VUE - a great car - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By shuffm - May 11 - 4:30 pm

  The 250hp V6 rocks. This is a quick, fast, powerful automatic that you can hardly feel changing gears. The engine is supposedly built by Honda in Columbus, OH. Performance, design, extras, and Saturn experience are awesome. It is easy/roomy for kids and car seats and has more space than most smaller SUVs in its class. The cargo system in the back is so cool. Gas mileage is decent. Seats arent as comfortable as they could be, and interior is cool...kind of like a Civic...but not as nice as some SUVs. A great all-around vehicle, especially for around-town driving and family outings.
