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.

  Saturn VUE Stalls while driving - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Pat609 - March 31 - 10:10 am

  I own a 2005 Saturn Vue AWD with 37,700 miles,last week while driving home from work the vehicle just stopped running no warning at all, dashboard lights went out except for the rear defogger which at that point came on and wouldnt shutoff. I emailed Saturn Co. and received a response, denies knowing of any recalls for the vehicle, ( I found dozens of complaints all over the Internet) suggested I take the SUV to the dealer . The Saturn is still setting at dealership. I called them prior to taking it in,and was told they had one or 2 vehicles with same problem, I go in and now they tell me this never happen before. I hate this car!!

  Fun to Drive - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Trekker - March 13 - 10:53 pm

  I bought my Saturn Vue Red Line this past Labor Day. Its fun to drive, great acceleration and smooth meshing of transmission and engine. Saturn did a good thing by using Hondas 250 horsepower engine and trasmission. MPG highway is about 26 miles per gallon, and city about 18-20. Not bad for an SUV with this type of get up and go.

  I own 2 VUEs - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Bobby Rawls - March 7 - 1:23 pm

  I have 2 and probably will continue to have at least 2. It does have a design problem when in muddy and wet conditions, but surely this will be attended by the next new model. I have spoken to Jay Wetzel (one of the original Saturn designers, now retired) and he is aware of this design flaw. I do have problems turning the key to start the car. The steering wheel locks, and the key will not turn without a lot of shaking and commotion.

  saturn Vue V6 - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By r rbrodehl - March 3 - 8:30 am

  Very nice car for the price. The Honda 250 hp V6 with the Honda automatic 5 speed transmission make for a reliable, smooth and peppy performance. With a curb weight almost 1000 lbs less than the honda pilot, the saturn is FAST, and the mileage is as advertised--29 mpg hwy, and 25 mpg town, on regular gas. I tow it 4 wheels down behind my RV and have had no problems in 10,000 miles of towing it so far. I di get the 16 inch mag tires/wheels and they look great. With 10,000 miles on odometer I have had no warranty service required yet.

  One Great Ride - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By LuvIt - January 24 - 11:33 am

  Owning this car has been a great experience. Overall handling is absolutely great. The Interior could use some added features (Storage compartments around the stick) which I noticed they did on the newer models but for the most part it has lots of room (Love the pop-up grocery carrier). Great mpgs for this car although it could be improved. Im sure they have done this with the newer models as well. As an owner I love this car. No problems with it so far.

  Dont Believe Everything You Read - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By M-Family - January 5 - 11:50 am

  We read all the website reviews before purchasing. Tested Ford Sport Trac & Escape & Honda CRV. This SUV drove smooth and quiet. Im tall and my wife is short and the seats fit us both and there is more than enough leg room and power.
