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.

  Watch out for the CVT - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By ExSatrunLvr - October 17 - 9:30 am

  The outside build quality alone is shoddy. Just try pushing on any of the outside body cladding to see what I mean. The CVT transmission has gotten louder and louder as the mileage has gone up. The official response from Saturn is that this is normal operational noise but it didnt sound that way when I bought it. The hood cable has stretched 3 times now. The last time they told me it was fine was right before my warranty went up and now guess what. I cant open my hood. The general attitude from service seemed like I must be doing something to break it. Ive opened a lot of hoods on many cars and never had a problem with the cable not handling it.

  Definitely Worth A Look - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Richard - October 13 - 3:53 pm

  We purchased this SUV because our SW2 wagon was just too small for the family vacation. This is our 3rd Saturn and we love it. I appreciate the good gas mileage for its size (30+ on the highway - 28.5 overall, so far). The ride is good and quiet. Handilng is fine. Ive had a chance to drive in the snow now and Im happy with that, too. Overall, this vehicle is a good investment. I would recommend one to anyone. Ive had great luck with all my Saturns!

  Awesome car to drive - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By pyxy514 - September 7 - 12:56 am

  I recently jusy bought a Saturn Vue and I absolutely love it. I knew the previous owner and the only reason she got rid of it was to get a Saturn Relay (van)for her growing family. I am 19 years old and so far have been very pleased with my Vue. The one good thing is that they call it a Vue for a reason, you have a view of everything around you whether in a parking lot or driving.

  Very versitile - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Mike - August 31 - 8:30 pm

  This is my second VUE. Both manual for the mileage & reliability. I dont really like automatic transmissions. After 60,000 miles I planon keeping this for a long time. Traded 2003 as couldnt pass up on sweet factory incentives. Nice delivery vehicle for small business. Would like to have e-85 ethanol fuel capability or hydrogen in future.

  Sensor reduction - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By brittanyttr - July 20 - 1:55 pm

  I purchased my VUE in July of 05. I was driving one day in the city and notice I had no acceleration to go. I notice that a light came on so I pulled over to check the owners manual and it said the sensor reduction light was one. So I did what it said to do and when I turned my car back on, it ran okay. I took it to the Saturn dealer and they told me it could be either the gas pedal or my wiring harness. So we replaced my gas pedal..drove it home and not even w/in 24 hrs it did it again. I called the dealeship again and they said its the wiring harness and that was going to be $700...has anyone had problems w/ their sensor reduction? Looking for help..Not sure I trust this dealer..

  Disappointed - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Not Worth It - July 11 - 4:33 am

  Ive had the VUE for 18 months. I have taken it in 4 times to fix the AC. The windows leak air. I have had it towed to the repair shop twice in the last to weeks for shutting off in traffic. Im now paying to replace the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and the clutch. The car is 4 years old and only has 70,000 miles on it. And sometimes the radio turns off when I try to switch stations.

  This car is a mistake - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Sarah Colantuono - June 8 - 5:20 am

  Since Ive gotten this car almost two years ago, Ive taken it in probably 10 times if not more. Everything keeps breaking down on it from the transmission, to my radio falling out, doors not opening, wipers not working, and a horrible rattling and vibrating sound that is still not fixed. Another time I was stranded on the side of the highway with my 2 year old daughter, after the car completely stalled and lost power on me. I feel this car is unsafe, and I am looking into a sell already after not even two years. I know somebody that got the Chevy equinox- and after driving that- I know where I went wrong. Thumbs down to VUE

  I love it... so does my family - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Patti - April 3 - 11:30 am

  I have enjoyed my new 2005 Saturn VUE now for 2 months and got it just in time before the gas prices went up. I get 22-25 mpg, much improved from my AWD mini-van that I traded. The tank is small, holds 16 gallons, but with the improved mileage, I dont have to fill anymore than before. Buying it was a dream, easy and simple. It has enough room for my 3 kids and all their stuff too. With the VTI 4 cyl. engine I have as much speed up the hills as a 6 cyl. I recommend this Saturn for any one who wants an AWD, interior room and a classy cross over look to boot.
