This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Strong V6, spacious cabin, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, good fuel economy.
Cons:
  • Too many low-grade and ill-fitting interior materials, undersized front seats, vague steering.

  • Love my Saturn - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I really have enjoyed my Saturn. Matter of fact, this is my third Saturn that I have purchased over the years. With this new Saturn, I do find it hard to be able to clean the seats well. For some reason they leave spots on the seats. I spilt water and there are still stains on there that I can not remove.

    I am very comfortable driving and riding in the VUE. It handles very well. I like the amount of room you have. The 6 cyclinder has excellent power. I like the body style and the design. It catches your eye,

  • A unique "AMERICAN" compact SUV - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    This is my 5th Saturn, and my 2nd Saturn Vue in the last 5 years. I have found the dealership and the Saturn Company to be a most pleasant experience when it came to buying another Saturn! I purchased the 2005 Saturn Vue Red Line (with 250 horsepower and 2 wheel drive)and not only does this SUV handle real well, but the power is remarkable! I honestly feel that the news media and the magazine editors have done the Saturn Corp. a real disservice in the last few years. My Saturns have been very reliable and the dealer service has been excellent! The folks at the Saturn Plant in Tenn. have worked very hard to produce the best vehicle that they can and they seem to care.I Love my Saturn! I have told many friends about Saturn and after test driving one have bought a Saturn!

    Great driving auto.You cant tell the driving lights from the headlights when on. I dont like the gas tank on the passenger side and it is also non locking, where the other saturns are. these are minor things other than that it is a great vehicle. I am glad I purchased it.

  • One of the best we ever had - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Our 2005 Saturn Vue has been fun to drive for 4 years now. It is so comfortable and getting in the back seat is a breeze. Weve had no repairs and had to replace tires at 60,000. It has a little more noise than some but all the other nice thin gs far outweigh that. We hope we can drive this on as long as possible.

  • I LOVE IT! - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I have been searching for a small (car- like) SUV for a long time and the Vue completely fits the bill! I like the dent-resistant exterior panels and the interior. So far, it is a blast to drive, the 3.5 V6 really moves! I wish that On-Star came standard and that the backend had more "cubby holes"; but it is a great vehicle and fits my family well. I dont feel like I am driving anything bigger than the car that I turned in (2001 Chevy Malibu). I paid less for it and got more features too. How cool is that?! I love the seats (leather/cloth mix) and how versitile it is while not being too big. The gas mileage is good, I do, however wish it had a bigger tank. I dont like getting gas!

  • Vue is better than ratings - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I have driven several SUVs and I find for the money the Vue is right up there. It is said to have sloppy handling but I do not find that to be the case. It handled well on hills and turns even in extreme weather. The interior is more than comfortable for most. My husband is tall and he has plenty of room. Its height from the ground makes it easy for me to get in(I am short) but my husband does not feel like he is climbing out of it. Overall I would definitely buy this again.

  • 05 FWD V6 Vue - 2005 Saturn VUE
    By -

    This vehicle is one of the best kept secrets. Yes, the seats arent plush but are comfortable. The interior isnt fancy but it works. The steering is a bit light at first but east to get used to. The V-6 is very quick and the trans is very smooth. Solid yet comfortable ride. Flawless thus far

  • Love to VUE - 2005 Saturn VUE
