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.

Stylish new Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Rich - May 31 - 5:20 pmI bought a 2008 Vue XE 4cyl during the Presidents day weekend sale. Traded in a reliable, fast Passat Wagon - so I was looking for something fun to drive, practical, took regular fuel, and got better mpg than the Passat. Most of my driving is around town with occasional slight hills. The tradeoff in power for the economy of the 4cyl is worth it! We have slight hills in San Diego & I just use the gear hold feature - does OK! Wish it had the 6spd auto from the Malibu w/ the same engine. Interior is awesome - so much better than the Japanese competitors. Lined large compartments all over! Got both premium packages, incl heated seats. Only 1000 miles, average 22 mpg.

By view of a vue - May 30 - 3:40 pmI think this is a very underrated automobile. In comparing to similar size vechiles the Vue is clearly the best looking . The most supriseing feature to me is the ride comfort. The ride and handling are both great! This is a great buy.

Golden Vue for You! - 2008 Saturn VUE
By SDConnors - May 28 - 9:23 pmThe re-designed Saturn 2008 is gorgeous! We bought Metallic Gold w 3.5 V6 AWD StabiliTrak features vs. HyBrid (V4 2.2, 2WD) economy. Safety for family with Front/Side curtain AirBags, 4 Disc Brakes w ABS, StabiliTrak, AWD, and OnStar feeling of security, monitoring sensors and available at a touch to assist with lockouts, diagnostics, road assist or emergencies. German engineering and looks make this a solid Winner, designed by Saturns Euro Division in Germany. A+

Love it! - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Jason - May 26 - 11:00 amI bought my VUE after owning 2 body on frame SUVs and wasnt sure if I would like it. Turns out, I love it! Love the smooth ride, smooth powertrain, and performance. Its so quick, I take people by suprise at stop lights all the time. Love the manumatic transmission. Piled 4 family members and all their luggage for a week and went on a trip. Never noticed a change in performance. Love the exterior styling, stands out on the road. OnStar is awesome. I wish the front seats were wider and provided more lateral support. Heated seats are great. Love Auto Start. Foul weather stability is great. Stabilitrak and AWD are seamless. Handles Pacific Northwest winters with no problems. I feel safe in it.

My Orange planet - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Orange Fun - April 27 - 10:53 amI love my Vue. It is fantastic for the money, good mpg, easy to drive, plenty of room. I love the orange color and little touches that make it a pleasure to own, I got $3000 of MSRP and the ride is great. I traded in a terrible V6 Mustang and never looked back. I am very pleased with my dealer and the Saturn product. I bought off the lot, I would have ordered it with some different options had I been able to, but very pleased overall with the purchase. Glad to say goodbye to my gas- hog Ford! (16 mpg)

First Saturn, very new, but happy so far - 2008 Saturn VUE
By FLH - April 14 - 4:10 pmTest drove 4 cyl w/ 4 spd auto trany, and didnt like very much. 3.6L V6 w/ 6 spd auto trany drives much better. Traded in 03 CTS Caddy, and VUE does not seem to be far behind on looks, quality, comfort, equipment, etc. Bought leather, and most other packages. Got FWD because AWD is probably higher insurance costs and less gas milage. Have not had long, but am very pleased thus far. Outside and inside styling are both very good.

Love my Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Anne H - April 4 - 3:13 amAfter an 8 month wait for the manufacturer installed sunroof, Ive now had my Vue for 2 months and have put 1500 miles on it with city and highway driving. This is my first SUV and I test drove all the competing small SUVs and did a lot of research (including reading all the consumer reviews on Edmunds) before deciding on the Vue. My sister has the Lexus 300 and said if she closed her eyes, she couldnt tell the difference in the ride. This is a solid, well-built crossover that is really fun to drive. The V6 is very much worth the price as are the upgrades. Fuel economy is improving as the car gets broken in.

Luxury at economy pricing - 2008 Saturn VUE
By ianzoe - April 1 - 1:33 pmI just had the worst car owning experience with my 2005 Chevy Impala. I was just about to give up on GM when a friend recommended I go to Saturn and check out the Outlook. Well, after an awful experience at my local Toyota dealer, I went to Saturn. The outlook was far too big for me so I climbed into the VUE, and was sold. This car is such a great value for the money I felt like I was stealing it from the dealer. I got the Sunburst Orange (had to wait 5 days to find one) With a few options, roof rails, heated seats, conveince package it stickered for 22,800 after rebates and a supplier discount only paid 18,500. This car is the best deal out there. Too bad more people dont know about it!

Outstanding SUV - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Harry - February 7 - 2:30 pmI purchased a 2008 Saturn Vue with the 3.5 V-6 AWD. I had looked at other SUVs but after test driving this vehicle, there was no question that I would purchase it. I was impressed with the V-6 Engine power and the overall construction of the vehicle. The interior design and comfort is incredible. The vehicle I purchased has the electric heated seats and heated exterior mirrors. They work flawlessly in the cold Minnesota weather. I was also impressed with the OnStar and hands free phone system. My opinion is that this is a great vehicle for the money and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great SUV.

1st SUV - Glad I Bought It. - 2008 Saturn VUE
By Den G from NJ - January 22 - 5:00 amA used 2008 with 15,000 miles - it was beyond a bargain. Traded my 05 Acura TL for this, my first SUV so I was used to good handling and performance. I have to say that its much more quiet and comfortable than my old TL. Ride is very smooth, handles much better than other SUVs Ive driven, and Im not disappointed with the power. Styling is better than soccer-mom type SUVs and honestly reminds me of a Lexus RX, and not a GM product. Interior instruments are simple and uncomplicated, but not cheap looking. The car had some issues when I bought it and theyve all been repaired by my local Saturn dealer. The dealership was awesome and the service experience compares to that of Acura.
