  Best Value for the Money - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By 2009 - April 28 - 2:06 pm

  I dont understand expert reviews that say the 2.4 Ecotect motor in the Vue is underpowered. Wards Auto World rates GMs 2.4-liter Ecotec as one of the best engines built in America. While not a dragster or a muscle car it has plenty of power to get on the freeway. It defiantly is not sluggish espesially from a stand still. Its gas mileage is better than expected at 26 miles per gallon city/freeway. We are past owners of Cadillac’s. Mama has not had to give up any luxuries. In fact some of its standard features are options on other sub-compact crossovers you have to pay extra for. We really do not feel we could have found a better value for the money. So far we couldnt be happier.

  Vue put the fun back in driving - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Ljames - February 17 - 2:53 am

  I traded in my Lexus RX 330 about 2 weeks ago for the Vue Redline. While the quality of the interior materials cannot compare - the Vue certainly did put the fun back in my commute. The Vue is sporty to drive, quick response, easy to maneuver(u turns, tight parking spots). The interior headroom is better than my RX, but the front legroom is a little tight. Sales experience was good, financing with incentives made it easy. Hopefully the quality holds up and Ill be driving my Vue for many years.

  So far so good - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By dmzempr - December 19 - 7:13 am

  Just purchased this car used with low miles on it. Excited to see how it handles. So far I love the interior, the solidness of the build and the way it looks. Its really starting to shine. Ill be doing some good detailing on it since I am somewhat compulsive when it comes to cars. Replacing a 05 Ford Escape base model. I dont think even the 09 version of the Escape XLT matches this car.

  I Love my Vue! - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Debbie - June 18 - 10:40 pm

  I have been looking at the Vue for quite a while now. When I was researching SUVs I always went back to the Vue. I am not sorry. I love it. The gas mileage, for an SUV, is quite good. I am just sorry that GM has chosen to rid itself of Saturn. Shame on them and shame on Penske for not taking it over. Its your loss.

  Beats Honda CR-V - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Roger - March 18 - 8:06 am

  Although Im a confirmed Honda guy, I decided to test drive the 2009 Saturn Vue XR -- what a surprise! This car looks great and drives even better. Its solid as a rock with better steering response that the three BMWs Ive owned. I needed a car that is flat towable behind our motor home, so I compared Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, and the Saturn Vue. The Vue won out and Ive been very pleased with it so far.

  Best choice for my first SUV - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Mrs Hill - January 3 - 7:16 pm

  I fell in love when I drove my sisters 07 Vue and counted the days till I could get my own. The V6 has tons of power and it handles well. So far Im getting about 18.6 miles per gallon and Im happy with that. The XM radio is addicting and makes long drives nice. You cant go wrong with this SUV.

  A mixed bag, mostly OK - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By JD - December 17 - 11:26 pm

  Nice looking outside, OK inside. Seats stain very easily, and are a bit narrow. The seat back cushion feels like a large lump for support. The electronic temp gauges taking a while to change from cold to hot & vice versa. Lights in console and dial gauges a strange yellow color, not pleasing to the eyes. Additionally the console gauges seem to be tipped upwards a bit, so if you sit low and back they are not straight on. Plastic around ateering wheel column rubs when turning wheel. Not enough legroom up front. I am 510", and could not stretch out legs on long drive.

  2009 Saturn VUE XR... I got a good one. - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Macca2016 - August 19 - 6:34 pm

  I still have this car after 7 1/2 years and still love it. I use it to transport music gear for my gigs and its held up well. Its a kid transport/family transport vehicle that, if you take care of it like any car, will not let you down.

  Tankfully this one is gone - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Scahill - August 17 - 11:56 pm

  I cannot stand this vehicle. Build quality is substandard, even for GM. Engineering leaves much to be desired. Car shakes, rattles, and rolls, not in a good sense. Much cheap interior plastic. GM could not even make the spare tire placement effective. GMs fabulous engineers placed the spare is a position to remove much of the storage in the rear. Compare to the more well- engineered vehicles in this class and see what real engineers can accomplish. I will have a hard time disposing of this mess since GM cannot even give this brand away.

  Saturn never disappoints - 2009 Saturn VUE
  By Jessica - July 17 - 2:00 pm

  This is my third Saturn and first SUV. I test drove 10 or more SUVs and came back to trusty Saturn, (this is my third one!) I love my dealer and drove over 70 miles to buy from them. I saw reports that the interior stains easily and I dont keep cars nice and I have no problems with the interior. My dealer gave me some of the stain fighter they use! The steering feels like a car, very manueverable, the seats are wide and comfy. I can fit alot of junk in it! Love the XM and free Onstar. All of my Saturns have had great maintenance records. Love Love Love my VUE! Join our Club, if you want a great vehicle and super dealer staff!
