  • 08 VUE RL FWD - 2008 Saturn VUE

    This car is amazing...forget what the magazines say! I even saw a magazine bashing it because the middle seat in the second row didnt have a headrest. The car is very roomy and quality interior. The exterior looks amazing and always gets heads turning due to the RL styling. Seats are so comfortable and great quality throughout. Wish the gas mileage was better, but it is good for what it is. I wish they would have put a different engine in the RL though. The new 3.6 with DI and different pistons would be top choice. This engine is an option on the Cadillac CTS with 304hp. The 6 speed transmission is purely amazing. The engine is very responsive and doesnt hesitate to hit the rev limiter.

    Ive only had my Vue for a few days so I cant write much. What i can say is that after owning a Honda, its refreshing to deal with people who actualy value your business. I researched almost every car in its class and decided on it because it comes with so many more standard convenience and safety features that anything else in its price range. Im a big guy and dont have a lot of luck finding cars to fit. The Vue could use a tad more leg room but overall its very comfortable for me and real nice to drive.

  • 08 Saturn Vue Red Line 3.6 FWD - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Ive been researching replacement vehilces for my 01 Ford Escape for ~1- year, on-off. When the Saturn Vue came out a few months back I took a first test-drive in an XE 3.5 AWD. It felt good and was adquately powered, but wanted to test-drive the XR, but didnt get a chance to. Waited until the Red Lines started showing-up and decided this was the one for me. Put down a little more to reduce the monthly- payment. Mines Polar White, with the Ebony interior. Looks good, feels good to sit-in, and best of all its a hoot to drive so far. The 6-speed transmission is silky-smooth, with a quiet V6 engine, and just enough rumble coming from the chromed tail-pipe tips, sounds great too.

    Overall, my experience with my new Vue is very positive. Although, I very seldom make a major purchase on impulse, this car was an exception. As soon as I saw it on the lot, I knew I had to have it. Over the last year or two, whenever a saw one of GM’s foreign competitors’ crossover vehicles, I would think if GM (I’m a GM retiree) would make something like that I would buy it.

    Ive only had my Vue a little over a month now, but I think it is great! Traded in my gas chugging Dodge Durango and am really happy with the change!

  • Its worth it! - 2008 Saturn VUE

    I spent four months researching smaller SUVs. I actually ordered a CR-V in May, but it hadnt arrived when I accidentally found myself on a Saturn lot. Perfect car. Features are over the top. I chose the 4 cy so I cant complain about it. I found the car I was looking for. Great buy. Go get it.

    I purchased my Vue 3 weeks ago. It drives and shifts smoothly and quietly. It has features that you usually find in luxury models. The styling and aerodynamics are very appealing and is a real head turner. The interior is spacious and comfortable with plenty of leg and headroom. Road and engine noise are at a minimum. Gas mileage is as expected.

    I love the cloth heated seats, the lighting, the color, easy parking and handling. Little problem w/ the cd player. I get postive comments everytime people say wow thats a Saturn?

  • Great car! - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I really like my 2008 VUE. Its fun to drive, has great visibility, and is easy to maneuver in parking lots. It was a great deal compared to other cars and SUVs I considered. I love the XM radio, OnStar, and steering wheel radio controls!I wish I could have afforded the larger engine, because its not very peppy - especially on the highway. The cruise control is also poor - the car shifts up or down every 10-15 minutes or so, which isnt very enjoyable. I still like it, though, and I have no regrets. If I wasnt upside down on my trade-in, I would have gotten the bigger engine, remote start, and the package that included motorized seats.

    Performance is fine as I wanted a 4 cylinder for the fuel economy. Overall very satisfied with the vehicle.
