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.

2005 FWD 6cyl VUE - 2005 Saturn VUE
By G. Markus - September 1 - 12:03 amGreat vehicle for running errands close to home and for long trips. Very fun to drive! I have owned several Saturns prior and this seems to be comparable in quality to the others. The Honda 250 hp engine is fantastic with plenty of pickup for passing and hauling. Overall, very good to excellent buy for the price!

Nice car - 2005 Saturn VUE
By d - August 22 - 12:36 pmI love this car. Although the onboard drive train computer did have to be replaced, so that was slightly disappointing. But overall a great car.

I Love my 2005 Vue! - 2005 Saturn VUE
By Kate - August 17 - 6:33 pmI have owned my VUE for just about a year now and I love it more and more every day. It has tremendous functional capability and its just really fun to drive. I can seat my children comfortably in the back and we can really pack the cargo space. Get the heated seats - they are such a treat! I recommend this car to anyone in the market for an SUV!

Cant Drive it in the Rain - 2005 Saturn VUE
By jason - August 5 - 9:30 pmAt first we loved the car, no problems but a broken vent but, then it rained. My wife drove the car through no more than 5in. of water a around 10-15 mph, the car ingested water and bent the connecting rods. My thoughts on this car, its great on the open road or around town, but if it rains, park it or you could have to buy an engine too. Best of luck to those own one and the would be buyers.

Best value - 2005 Saturn VUE
By jimbo - July 26 - 2:16 amAwesome vehicle... This is my 4th Saturn, and this is the best of all. Great ride, lots of room, 28MPG with the 4 cylinder manual. Great deal with the sport II package. Cost the same as my 2000 SL2, but is a much bigger, better car. Great service from the dealer.

So Far So Good - 2005 Saturn VUE

Best Fuel Value in its Class - 2005 Saturn VUE
By Mr. Styles - July 3 - 6:03 amSince I became the owner of my 2005 Vue, I can truly say it has been worth the purchase. I use mid-grade gas and I can get up to 300 miles to a tank. I have also learned how to maximize my horsepower by down shifting to the lower gears. The versatility and roominess have helped me in carrying my sons and my work load. Keeping it clean has been quit easy. The only problem I have truly had so far is keeping the stains off the fabric. Other than that, this car has been a great addition to our family.

GMs hidden gem - 2005 Saturn VUE
By SS3 - June 12 - 2:26 pmThe 2006 Saturn VUE Red Line must be one of GMs best kept secrets. From the smooth powerful drivetrain, to the cool Red Line styling, whats not to like? The VUEs looks get rave reviews from most everyone who has seen it, but most dont even know what it is. The new ebony interior really enhances the interior, and the white (black at night) guages really add to the package. The electric steering is much better than expected, and the ride is just fine considering the enhanced handling that the Red Line package offers. Room in the back seat is the biggest surprise - lots of room for a 62" teenager.

Brakes - 2005 Saturn VUE
By Rachel - May 22 - 8:23 amMy experience with my Saturn Vue has been pretty good. The only thing that I have noticed is that when I happen to hit a bump on the road or a pothole if I have my foot on the brake I loose my brake. It almost feels as though my foot is bouncing on the pedal. Other then that, I love the SUV. It is perfect for my family.

2005 Saturn VUE - even better - 2005 Saturn VUE
By Angela - May 2 - 12:06 pmMy 2005 Saturn VUE is my second. After being hit head-on in my 2002 VUE (from which I escaped with only a foot injury) I had thoughts of nothing but another one. Exceptional service and a wonderful sales team had cemented my good feelings for the VUE. The 2005 has better pick-up. The problems - such as a few rattles and sqeaks - had all been tweaked. And, the interior really is a lot prettier. There is something about the build of the interior that seems geared to the smaller body size of a woman. I feel as at-home as I ever have while driving while my husband is not as comfortable. I also get an amazing amount of comments on the looks of the vehicle. It looks much more expensive than it is
