Overview & Reviews
Borrowing components from GM's European Opel division, the Saturn Vue is completely redesigned for 2008. Highlights include a much-improved cabin, an available 257-horsepower V6 and improved handling and ride dynamics.
- Powerful V6 in XR and Red Line trims, handsome interior and exterior European styling, ideal handling and ride balance, plenty of standard safety features.
- Less cargo capacity than most rivals, front seats not ideal for some larger folks.

Love My Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Luvthiscar - August 5 - 1:20 pmI love this little SUV. Its fun to drive, hauls everything I need, including three kids to college, and gets much better mileage than expected (21 in suburban Chicago and 27 on the highway). Too many times to count, people have ridden in the vehicle and asked, "What is this again?" When I tell them its a Saturn Vue, they are amazed. Several have mistaken it for a Lexus SUV, which cracks me up!

After One Month - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Keith - July 31 - 10:50 amNot much experience yet but this gives insight into why we chose the VUE and our early impressions. My wife and I test drove the Outlander, Rav4, XL7, Vitara, Tuscon, Santa Fe, CR-V, CX-7, and two Kia models before choosing the VUE. The VUE felt more powerful and tracked and handled better. It felt more subtantial. The car simply feels different from the others which might be the European engineering (this is an Opel with a GM motor and rebadged as a Saturn). The interior materials and details are superior to others at this price. Acceleration is quick and effortless,the 6 speed trans is smooth,the ride quiet and smooth. Too soon to rate reliability but no problems to date.

Mixed Feelings - 2008 Saturn VUE
By SaturnSuxs - July 25 - 2:33 amI think my car is beautiful. With exceptions of the interior plastic components breaking and the materials ability to soil easily I like my car and enjoy driving it. I however am very upset with the dealer who was supposed to fix some scratches I noticed when I first purchased the vehicle and after 7 attempts of taking it in still has failed to fix it. Although i love the look and feel of my car I highly deeply regret purchasing it.

Less is more - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Lars - July 16 - 1:00 amBought this 08 model in January 09. It was a demo but had only 60 miles. Ive still has only driven it for approx 2000 miles, but so far so good. As quite a few mention, the front seat could have been slightly more generous. From before I have a 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9L V8 and the only thing that can compare, is the performance! The Vue and I are usually long ahead of the rest, leaving the red light. The Vue is nice and "tight", while the G.C. is like a ship in high sea. Are however more pleased with the automatic AC in the G.C. The VUEs automatic AC feels to be of a "cheaper" type. However, it gets the car cool. And since its only a crossover and not a real SUV, it has its limitations.

Love this vehicle - 2008 Saturn VUE
By packfan - July 14 - 9:23 pmNever thought we would buy a crossover SUV past 3 vehicles have been Buicks and loved each one - couldnt find a new one we liked at a price we wanted so on a whim we stopped at Saturn to look at the Aura - didnt like that but the Vue was sitting there and when we got in it we feel in love with the interior - took it for a test drive and was very surprised at how well the ride and handling was - very quiet ride - smooth sifting - plenty of power with the V6 -

Excellent Car. Saved my life. - 2008 Saturn VUE
By rjf - May 23 - 3:20 amEnjoyed driving. Solid ride. Was just involved in accident where a Dodge Ram truck slammed into the rear of my Vue. I was stopped at a light, they estimate he was driving 50+mph. My husband and I walked away from that accident without a single scratch. Unfortunately, my Saturn was totalled. Heck, the Dodge Ram Truck that hit me actually looked worse, and Im quite sure it was totalled also. Going tomorrow to buy my new Saturn Vue!

I Love this Vehicle! - 2008 Saturn VUE
By leisa - May 12 - 12:13 amA terrific little SUV. Make sure you give it a look when considering small SUVs, I think youll be surprised! I swore Id never drive another truck, but this one changed my mind. The comfort may be better for other folks, I have MS, and nothings really that comfortable to me.

Best Built GM Vehicle to date! - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Maria - May 7 - 3:43 amI visited my local Saturn dealership to test drive the new 2008 Saturn Vue and was simply amazed! The build quality was right up there with Lexus! This Saturn is modern, stylish and a joy to drive...it is amazingly quiet! I traded in my 2004 Buick Rendevous and drove home in a Polar White Saturn XR FWD V-6 with gray leather interior. This vehicle is absolutely gorgeous!

Saturn Vue - Customer Service - 2008 Saturn VUE
By tlf713 - May 6 - 4:13 pmGets great gas mileage. Customer service not so great. Car seems to have design flaws that no one wants to admit to. Had to take it in 5 times to get the door handles fixed. Inside door weather stripping kept coming off, they ordered and replaced wrong parts and damaged other part in the process. Had to take back 2 more times for that fix. Now the sunroof is leaking, they say theres not a problem, but Ive had several GM cars before and the sunroof never leaked from the drainage tubes. Will be glad when my lease is up, grateful I did not purchase.

Wasnt sure about this purchase! - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Granny - March 4 - 7:40 pmWe were after the 07 closeouts. Couldnt find one in black - but there was an 08 on the showroom floor. Hubby liked it - I wasnt sure. This is a great little vehicle. Rides nice, handles well, is fun to drive and is very suitable for cost- effective driving to work every day. The style has really grown on me, too. There are other similar styles out there but these definitely outstyle the others. Kudos, Saturn - fine job. This is our first Saturn and we couldnt be happier with it. OnStar offers a comfort zone and the directions feature is great.
