  Tried them all before I purchased - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Bill D. - March 7 - 6:33 am

  I researched and test drove all the small Suvs and I chose the Saturn XE. Just returned from a 4,000 mile trip and I couldnt be happier with this vehicle. Mileage 24+ on highway and very comfortable with a good ride for a small SUV. Looks great and for me has plenty of power, I wanted good mileage and ordered the 4 banger with front wheel drive which has plenty of pep for me. Love the OnStar and satellite radio. One thing that I do wish this vehicle had and that is a pop-up rear window for hauling those over 8 feet items.

  Not your plastic Saturn - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By YDKCooKiE - November 14 - 1:00 pm

  Being my first SUV, Ive tried quite a few out; the Rav-4, the CR-V, Ford Escape, and little did I know the 2008 Vue was available. Upon going to the dealership, my fiancee and I took a test drive and we were sold. The vehicle looks much like a higher-class SUV rather than the cheaper 2007 model. The drive is great, comfortable, and extremely enjoyable. Ive been pleasantly surprised by the drive and quality of this car, and everywhere you look, theres something new you discover about it. Id easily recommend this to friends and family.

  Awesome SUV! - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Dianatlol - September 15 - 6:33 pm

  We looked at the Mazda CX7 and the Redline the year previous we decided to check into the Vue again. We fell in love! I love the new style, I love the Retro look inside. V6 engine is the best. This SUV is a sports car in hiding! Wish they had the sunroofs available from the manufacturer, but that only means will will upgrade in 4 years!;)We love how it drives and the comfort, out beats the CX7 anyday!

  Awesome Ride - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Lauren Anne - September 8 - 3:36 pm

  This SUV was everything I wanted and more in a car. The quality is outstanding. This car has an incredbily smooth drive, great turn radius, and is an all around safe SUV. I cannot imagine owning another SUV and I would highly recommend the Saturn VUE to anyone.

  Love this SUV! - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By jimbodean - August 16 - 1:27 pm

  I have had quite a few different vehicles over the years. I traded in a 2009 Malibu, loved the car but have knee trouble and could not climb out of it anymore as it was too low to the ground. Looked at all the small SUVs and nothing compared to the Vue. Gas mileage is adequate compared to the wifes 2009 Dodge Journey R/T. She actually likes driving the view more than her car as she says it looks like a Lexus. 47,000 miles on it and still drives like a dream. I would by another if they were still making them.

  Excellent Overall Package - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Anthony - August 6 - 7:43 pm

  My wife and I just bought our first Saturn. Very pleased with the buying experience, which is another first for me. The Vue is an excellent choice for a family of 4 that needs a vehicle with extra cargo room or light towing capability(we will tow our 2 jet- skis), but still want some sporting character. I love the VVT V6 with 6spd automatic! Tapshift feature makes it more fun/engaging to drive and give an extra measure of control over the driving character. The Red Line has minimal body roll, very good handling for an SUV, solid brake pedal feel, good steering feel, and an awesome interior. Seats are supportive and comfortable. There are many thoughtfull touches/features in the interior

  Im glad I dont drive much - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By Boston - June 16 - 6:50 am

  I bought the VUE because I use public transportation and mainly needed an errand/recreational vehicle--so, mpg wasnt that important to me. Since Im averaging 18 mpg city driving, Im really glad I dont need it as my commuting car. That said, the car is nicest thing Ive driven and rides like a dream. I have the leather interior package and the heated seats, lumbar support, and climate control is just fantastic. My back windshield fluid sprayer doesnt work, but thats a factory problem and the dealership will fix it.

  I Love my Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By jjufon - May 5 - 4:30 pm

  I’m very much enjoying my new 2008 Redline Vue! I traded a 2004 ford Cobra so this was quite a difference, but I couldn’t be happier! My mileage was better in the Cobra but the fit and finish and options more than make up for that. I’ve been in much more expensive SUV’s and I’ve got to tell, ya, you’d be hard pressed to find a better interior and fit and finish anywhere close the this price. The NAV system works flawless and the way it handles MP3’s burnt to a disk is second to none too. If Saturn continues to offer this level of vehicle and price, I’ll be driving another new Saturn in three years.

  Ride quality is exceptional - owned 1 yr - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By V6 XR owner - April 29 - 9:26 am

  The 2008 redesigned Vue has an exceptional ride quality. The comfort of the interior is much higher than several leading competitors we considered. The V6 XR is recommended over the V4 because of the vehicles weight. The 3.6 V6 is refined and smooth. Gas mileage could be better - but a steel unibody and a wealth of standard safety features are worth some trade off. A great vehicle, despite a couple irksome fit and finish repairs that were fully covered under warranty. Perhaps the best product thats come out under the Saturn label. Its amazing that a previous reviewer is trading down to a clunky Nitro rattle-box from this refined small suv.

  First SUV, second Saturn - 2008 Saturn VUE
  By SecondSaturn - February 20 - 2:00 am

  I narrowed my choices to the 2008 Vue and Rav4 months before they hit the lots, test-driving them both the same day. Id also narrowed my choices between Toyota & Saturn 10 yrs earlier when I bought a Saturn SC2, and for pretty much the same reasons the Vue was an easy choice. Saturn makes good-looking vehicles w/superior color choices, that come well-equipped with lots of luxuries that make them especially fun to drive. I was impressed with its nimble handling, tight steering and solid stability at cornering. The 4000-pound 6cyl can haul 3500 lbs. Between OnStar and standard alarm, its safer from theft. I upgraded to the premium package, and now own one stellar car.
