Overview & Reviews

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.

• Strong V6, spacious cabin, comfortable ride, excellent crash test scores, good fuel economy.

• Too many low-grade and ill-fitting interior materials, undersized front seats, vague steering.

  2004 Saturn Vue V-6 model - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Apacherae - March 15 - 9:06 pm

  Saturn has built another great vehicle. With lots of power, great handling, and good looks; its hard to go wrong with a Saturn VUE. It rides very comfortably, dampens out road noise extremely well, and handles like a champ. When you need the power to get up and go, its there. The all-wheel drive with independent suspension is awsome. Plenty of room in the front and back seats and the cargo space handles most anything I have tried to put in it. Good standard stero package and the option to have a sunroof. For an SUV, the gas mileage is pretty good; just dont expect to get 30 mpg. I average 21 city & 26 highway mpg.

  No more Saturns for this family - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Done with Saturns - February 7 - 3:13 pm

  At 45K miles we have a Vue which is unsafe to drive. We spent over 26K and expected a worthwhile, safe, economical vehicle. After taking the car into the 2 separate Saturn dealerships for engine noise, hesitation, poor mpg, etc.. while under warranty nothing could be found. Now, we are told the brake caliper is shot as well as the torque converter- over $2000 in repairs and Saturn wants us to foot the bill for at least parts. We are battling it out with the Saturn Corporate- they are not so customer friendly when you have problems with your vehicle. Right now, we are just glad the brakes did not complelety fail with our 2 year old in the car! We should have spent a few more dollars on an X5.

  Likes to spend your money - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By bsumorgan - December 17 - 2:00 am

  I got a redline, and it was a lot of fun, but every month I had it in the shop for some kind of maintenance or repair. To be fair, it probably has to do more with the previous owner than with the Saturn. Sold it after 10 months because you cant tow with the sport package. (no air flow to the transmission) Fuel economy was good, I averaged between 20 and 21 with the AWD v6. Interior is an odd combo of luxurious and cheap. Front end was noisy on rough surfaces. The AWD is not as good as ford/mercury awd. The back wheels only kick in a few moments after the front wheels lose traction. By then, it may be too late. It doesnt really do you any good on ice unless you intentionally break traction.

  Love the Saturn Vue - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Kirsten Hughes - December 9 - 9:00 am

  I first drove a Saturn Vue rental in 2007 when I went on an unexpected road trip. I was impressed with the comfort and performance. My daughter and I felt safe and the vehicle handled so well. In addition, it is so easy to get in and out of the vehicle without having to struggle.

  Super convenient vehicle - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Frank Udell - November 17 - 10:50 am

  This vehicle is a pleasure to drive. It is easy to get into, and to egress. (very important for older individuals) I have heard that the Saturn Vue has mushy steering. I personaly find the steering to be as good as, if not better than, many vehicles I have tried. Acceleration is great (V6), and more than adequate for cross country traveling, and getting out of tight situations. The VUE feels good to drive and is comfortable. I would really recommend the VUE for the more mature set.

  Luck of the draw - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By trek - November 7 - 1:16 am

  An odd vehicle that I bought because my wife liked/wanted it. Initially I didnt think like it much at all. Weve used this Vue to tow, haul and carry everything from sea kayaks to dirt bikes as well as a 4000lb trailer across the USA. Its been in the snow in Canada and the desert SW heat as well as off road trails in various parts of the country (after decent tires were added). Its an odd vehicle that has been clobbered by depreciation but I have to say out of the European, Japanese and American vehicles Ive owned over the years, this thing has been the little engine that could. Great family car too. The dealers on the other hand, are so bad I will not darken their doors. Ever.

  Love, Love, Love It! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By J. A. Carlucci - October 16 - 10:13 am

  All I can say is so far, so good. Its a fun vehicle to drive, and as comfortable as sitting in my living room, even on a trip to Florida. Have had no problems at all yet.

  Better than I expected! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By redcar - September 27 - 11:46 am

  This is an excellent car & an excellent value for the money. I would highly recommend it. It handles well, is very comfortable & is fun to drive. The seat heaters are a great option. The versatility in the seat configurations allows for caring a lot of gear. Great car, go test drive one for yourself.

  Best darn car ever! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Murrieta Turtle - September 3 - 2:03 am

  We have owned several vehicles. When we came across the RedLine, we were in love. It handles great. Lets talk power...there are times I think I am driving my Surburban, which has a 454! The Vue is light weight with heavy weight power. Next in line to our Mercedes, our little VUE rocks. Thank you Saturn!
