  • Saturn Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    We went from a Ford Explorer to the Vue. It is a little smaller, but the wife and I both like it. It has plenty of power. We got one that is pretty loaded and the options that came with the vehicle are nice. It is fun to drive and the new bodystyle is sharp, plus it was thousands less than other comparable brands.

  • What a car! - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Looked at them all and have owned Lexus RX & Honda Pilot in past. This SUV is the best I have owned so far. Only have 3000 miles on it but have nothing but praise for performance and quality. First US made car in many years. The VUE brought me back. Did 2000 mile trip in first 2 weeks and it was flawless. GM can compete if they keep the mentality they put into the VUE. Stopped by dealership on a lark and owned the car in one day. 4 cylinder just didnt make it, but 6 is a dream. Make sure you drive it before you buy anything else, I know you will love it.

  • Happy With My Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE

    I have had my Vue for almost a year and am very happy with it. It is a fun car to drive and the interior is very comfortable. It gets reasonably good gas milage and has been very reliable.

  • My third Vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I am on my third Vue. (I have had 04,06 and now 08)It has been a very reliable vehicle though without much pizazz until now, the 2008 has really captivated my attention. The interior and exterior are beautiful its very quiet and is very exciting to drive. My other Vues were nice but not stylish. The 08 has more than enough horsepower to leave most vehicle in the dust which is not usual for a small SUV. Definitely worth checking out. the Vue has been very reliable I expect the same from this new version.

  • Best SUV for t he price! - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    This is Saturn #3 for me. A 95 S series then a 2006 Vue, but the 2008 Saturn Vue is by far the finest compact SUV for the price. I love the performance, the road feel, the comfort, the styling. Love seeing in my driveway or in the parking lot. Would highly recommend pitting the 2008 Vue against any domestic or foreign competitors. Definetly put the 08 Saturn Vue on your shopping list!

  • A Very Fun Ride - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I like many of you had condisered other cars; my first favorite was a Nissan-any Nissan. But one day we had to rent a car and we got the 2008 Vue. I was sold. When I went to the dealership they had the Black Onyx Red Line. This car is sporty upon spory. Right down to its red trimmed leather and suede seats. I have received so many compliments about this car but the outside is only half the story. It is fun to drive and it has great saftey features. Especially the OnStar. It has a quiet interior ride with loads of storage space. Includeing the one under the passenger seat. It is roomy on the inside plus it has great cargo space.

  • Best Car Ever - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    This is my second Saturn and I love the Vue. The new 08 shape is great. The drive is very smooth and until someone comes with something better (which I doubt) I will continue to purchase the Saturn Vues. This is a must buy for anyone who wants a small truck but not pay the high gas prices.

  • 08 vue - 2008 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I recently traded in my 06 vue for an 08 vue xr due to an extremly good deal on the 08. Wasnt really sure how well i would like the 08 but i have to say it is a big improvement over the plastic vues. being all steel now the 08 weighs more and that gives it a better ride and better road feel.Drove both v-6s and the 3.6 is so much better than the 3.5.The interior is much improved as well,with less cheap feeling plastic parts. Only have a couple of complaints -1 being the fuel economy.its about 5-6 mpg less than my Honda powered 06. im sure part is due to the extra weight (500#)but also to the fact the the engine is now GM built.and 2,the torque steer is worse than my 06.but overall better

    My car is a lease. I am about to finish it and I would like to buy it if I find a good price. Very comfortable, economic. I had had No problems with it. Only oil change or tire rotations. Some days I feel the AC is nor working properly usually at noon, but it could be the high temperatures here in Miami This is my third Saturn, The first one was a Demo Sedan.(beautiful). I have No complains for none of my Saturns.

    By -

    I have found the VUE gives a solid feel for the road, smooth ride and good accelaration. Lots of interior features, my kids love the reclining rear seats. Plenty of leg room for adults. All seats fold down flat of cource. Safety features like OnStar for one year, side impact air bags,came standard. I had roof rails and trailering package added as options for about $500 extra. It has 1500lb towing capacity which is sufficent for my 14 aluminum fishing boat. Overall I am very happy with the VUE and would recommend it to anyone!
