  ECONOMICAL - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By jojo - January 13 - 10:00 am

  the vue is certainly ergonomic on gas, especially with gas prices increasing. there is plenty of room for 5 good sized adults. the folding rear seats come in handy for the larger items. the front wheel drive i would find would do better in areas where it is less inclined to be on snow. the front end handling feels to be loose at times, especially with take. Noticeable shift to the left or right in steering is also noted upon take off. Overall, its a decent family starter suv with plenty of room and safety features.

  2002 Saturn (after 10 months) - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By DWoodmanJr - November 23 - 2:00 am

  Purchasing this SUV has been one of the best decisions Ive made in a while. You cant beat the value, and I get compliments all the time on the looks. The only option I didnt get was the side window airbags, and I still spent under $26,000. The V6 has plenty of power, and you barely notice the shifting of the Automatic Transmission.

  Very good car! - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Chopper - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Got it for a full yr. So far no problems with mechanics and electric. The dealer changed the front strut when I 1st had it, was the only known issue. Ride/acc. is good. Drive through snow well. All bells and whistles are worth it. My only wish was that I should have order the leather package! PS, dealer folks are great and do good works. Good gas milege, got 24.9 miles/gal.

  a vue - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By a vue - July 1 - 10:00 am

  I have owned the vue over one year, it is reliable and gets good gas mileage, the interior design(cup holders poor) I like the design and it is stable in curves. The rear seat is very roomy, but the cup holder gets in the way. The plastic inside looks cheap, and the back of my front seat is scratched from moving lumber etc. Seats lifted at beginning(foam showed),only bandaided problem at dealership.

  Not bad, but not for the long run - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Joe - April 20 - 10:00 am

  I broke one of my cardinal rules and bought a new vehicle in its first model year. Ive paid for that. Weve had the standard 02 Vue problems (AC condensation ruining the carpet on the passenger side, rear wiper fluid everywhere but on the glass) and a few new ones (inaccurate fuel gauge-Shell gas?) but overall it has been fairly reliable. Its just too small for more than 4 people, whether they are infants or adults. Havent tested the legedary Saturn safety features (and hope I dont have too) but cant help feeling I paid too much for what I got.

  Will hit 200K Next month - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By uppity - April 2 - 8:41 am

  This has been a wonderful car. Ive kept it well maintained so repairs have been minimal. Only things needing repair have been something related to the front end and a sensor of some kind. Repairs were so long ago I dont really remember. Have replaced brakes, battery and tires but I consider those part of maintenance. Still on the original exhaust system and clutch. Only redid the brakes once. I.can only hope my next car is this reliable.

  2002 Saturn Vue 4 cyl 5 speed reliable - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Jim - January 23 - 7:53 am

  At the ripe old age of 65 and having been involved with auto repairs and sales most all of those years I must say that the 2002 Saturn Vue 4 cylinder 5-speed manual is a great bargain. I have owned too many vehicles to count. At 120k miles it uses no oil and in the last 20k that we have owned it, 1-exhaust hanger is the only repair. It has had full synthetic oil since it was born. 5-speed shifter is a bit notchy but adequate.

  Yes, I love my Saturn - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By DM - September 4 - 2:10 pm

  This is my second Saturn. My Vue has 97,000 miles on it and has only had one expensive problem. Other than tires/oil changes/routine maintenance the only problems have been a leak around the front passenger door (fixed by Saturn easily) and currently the gas gauge has stopped registering correctly. I have driven hundreds of miles in a day and been comfortable all the way. I am still getting 29 mi/gal highway and decent mileage on in town driving.

  Very Pleased! - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By mjmiron - May 1 - 2:16 am

  I bought my Saturn in 2004 after the vehicle depreciated in value. I paid around $15,000 and the car had 36k on it. I have had no major problems with it and like the vehicle a lot. I would recommend anyone buying this car wait a year or two and not buy new. I think the price of the car new is a little high. I had purchased a new 2004 Jeep Limited with leather before the Vue and it was the same price.
