  • Beats Honda CR-V - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Although Im a confirmed Honda guy, I decided to test drive the 2009 Saturn Vue XR -- what a surprise! This car looks great and drives even better. Its solid as a rock with better steering response that the three BMWs Ive owned. I needed a car that is flat towable behind our motor home, so I compared Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and the Saturn Vue. The Vue won out and Ive been very pleased with it so far.

  • Best choice for my first SUV - 2009 Saturn VUE

    I fell in love when I drove my sisters 07 Vue and counted the days till I could get my own. The V6 has tons of power and it handles well. So far Im getting about 18.6 miles per gallon and Im happy with that. The XM radio is addicting and makes long drives nice. You cant go wrong with this SUV.

  • Saturn never disappoints - 2009 Saturn VUE

    This is my third Saturn and first SUV. I test drove 10 or more SUVs and came back to trusty Saturn, (this is my third one!) I love my dealer and drove over 70 miles to buy from them. I saw reports that the interior stains easily and I dont keep cars nice and I have no problems with the interior. My dealer gave me some of the stain fighter they use! The steering feels like a car, very manueverable, the seats are wide and comfy. I can fit alot of junk in it! Love the XM and free Onstar. All of my Saturns have had great maintenance records. Love Love Love my VUE! Join our Club, if you want a great vehicle and super dealer staff!

  • 2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I bought a Saturn Vue Hybrid recently. I only have about 1300 miles on it so far. I like the auto engine stop when the car stops. I like the quick re- start. It happens so smoothly that you hardly know it. I needed an SUV for camping and bad roads, but didnt want the bad mileage of other SUVS. This car has done well no bad roads and also gets good mileage. 28 MPG on the first tank. 29 on the second tank (including some back roads). 30 on the third tank. It is light at about 3,800 pounds. Has a useable area behind the second row of seats. Has a bigger back seat than the Escape or many other small SUVs. Unlike many hybrids, this does well on the freeway. Great car.

  • Saturn Vue Delivers - 2009 Saturn VUE

    The Vue is fun to drive. I recently took it up mountains with three passengers. The V-6 with the manual mode shift made the drive easy work and fun. The car has excellent control to hug the curves and ample power to negotiate the inclines.The features including On-Star Directions and Connections and the satellite radio added to the driving pleasure. The fuel economy is still somewhat disappointing, but the car is not yet broken in. I would not hesitate to recommend either the 4 cylinder or V-6. Fred Saunders

    My Vue has excellent performance and handling so feels like a sports luxury vehicle to me. The fit and finish is great and the interior is spacious for my family with two young boys!

  • I love this SUV!! - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I researched and evaluated lots of different vehicles before settling on the VUE. I was deciding in between a pre-owned Lexus or Mercedes when I saw a Red Line VUE drive close to my home. I couldnt believe it was a Saturn! It had the looks of an European vehicle. I went the next day and test drove a VUE and was hooked. Put this vehicle on the list! Plus with O% APR for 60 months-- an easy choice.

  • Very Pleased - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    For price, feel as though VUE offers fantastic value. Possesses numerous amenities which adds to quality of driving. 4 cylinder has lots of pep and enough power. Been getting 28.5 MPG mostly highway and still breaking in. Stability Track & ABS efficient- did not skid out when I had to jam on brakes. Car very fun to drive, great mover and does not feel light like a tin can . Feel safe when driving. Owned other crossovers, tested competition, and found VUE to offer most gadgets, style, value and performance. Very pleased so far w/ first Saturn. Must say, great experience with dealership and they offer comp car washes and donuts.

  • Best Value for the Money - 2009 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Plenty of power. Runs like a scalded dog. Have absoulutly no problem getting on the freeway or passing. 1st tank of gas used in city and freeway 23.5 MPG. 2nd tank 24 MPG. Cant wait to see what it will get on a trip. Wife loves the blue tooth, XM radio, premium trim, leather heated power seats. Pleanty of room front and back. Lots of head room too. Looks better than than most other compact SUVs inside and out. Was thinking about buying a Cadillac SRX but MPG wasnt that great. Drove a Toyota CRV but the seats were too hard. Some expert reviews just dont do it justice. Personally I think it beats all other compact SUVs hands down. In fact I may just have buy another one.
