  03 VUE - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Whip - September 20 - 2:00 am

  We have had our VUE only 3 weeks and love it. Thus far we are very satisfied. Had a minor alignment problem, it drifted left, which the dealer quickly fixed. A solid vehicle with good performance for the money. Well thoughout utility throughout the vehicle.

  Grounded - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Vicki - September 9 - 11:23 pm

  I purchased my Saturn the exact day I moved to Anchorage, AK. My husband bought a Ford F350. My husband had several issues with sliding and such with all the snow and ice. In the 3 years I have owned my Saturn VUE I have only had 2 situations that involved me sliding on the ice, and they were both at corners, where I was turning. I felt the back end slide around just a bit as I pushed on the gas to turn. Both times were corrected by simply releasing and reapplying the gas pedal. I couldnt ask for a better car. Its traction has kept me safe and sound for three winters in Alaska. Sure put my husbands 4x4 pick up to shame.

  Very quiet comfortable ride. Roomy. Stereo sounds great. Excellent acceleration and braking. Reasonable handling for an SUV. No problems at all.

  Awesome SUV - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By adamsd - July 16 - 2:00 am

  I love my Vue!! I have NEVER been in a mini-SUV that was so spacious. Finally, my knees dont touch the steering column and my head doesnt scrape the roof. Also, I prefer manual transmittion, and all the other SUVs either dont offer it or its a special order. Great feel and a comfortable ride. You wont regret the vehicle. (Powerpack and ABS worth extra cost).

  Best Yet - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Winston - May 15 - 2:00 am

  The Saturn VUE is by far the greatest suv I have driven. The handling is superior because of its width of 71.6 amd the electronic power steering. My only complaint is that I live to close to work and therefore I do not get a chance to drive my VUE long enough. The acceleration is also excellent and I have the power to use if I need it.

  A Fun SUV - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By gt95 - April 9 - 10:00 am

  For my first new vehicle it has been a pleasant experience all around. The people at the dealership have been very helpful. The no haggle on price takes away the adversity. The vehicle is priced right to be a great value. It has the latest inovations including electronic steering. I feel confident that if I keep up on regular maintenance the car will last a long time. The back seat has plenty of room.

  Very Happy - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By adamcorey - March 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought my VUE in November 2002 and am very happy with both the car and the buying experience at Saturn. Ive always driven cars (Nissan) and was not really interest in a an SUV until a friend suggested I look at the VUE. My wife and I have taken it on several long trips and driven in very poor weather and was more than impressed with the way it handled (the $600 for ABS and antilock brakes was well worth it). For an inexpensive SUV I dont think you can beat it....I found the Toyota RAV 4 to be small and cramped compared to the VUE, not to mention my dissatifaction with the way I was treated at the Toyot dealership.

  So Far so good..... - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Dan in Florida - March 28 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my VUE about 4 months ago (4-cyl, auto, AWD). So far I have had no complaints. The car has performed perfectly and has not given me any problems. The dealership also bent over backwards to keep me happy when I purchased it. Also have to say that RAV4’s are nice but they look like a girl’s car. : P

  Lovin the VUE - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Suzie Q - March 16 - 4:06 pm

  I just bought this car, but I am loving it already. I have the V4 manual, and it is FAR superior to the V6 automatic of the same vintage. Its got a lot more pickup and spunk than its counterpart - so if you are interested in this model/year/make, and know how to drive a stick, buy this one. Its got all the bells and whistles I could want except an MP3 jack and in-dash CD changer, but that is an outside upgrade anyhow. Tons of space and a really nice ride...I highly recommend it!
