  Love this SUV!!! - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By SandyOrangeVue - December 22 - 10:00 am

  Had a 2001 Ford Escape -- took a 2002 Escape to replace it when Lemon Law kicked in due to constant stalling. When the 2002 stalled, Ford wouldnt take it back, so we traded in with the 0% deal. Getting 22-23 MPG -- 6 MPG more than Escape. Love the drive, comfort and affordability of this SUV! Engine is a little noisy.

  Two Differing VUEs - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Hot Turtle - December 22 - 10:00 am

  Drove an AWD and it sounded like it. The ride was rumbly, and truckish. Then drove the FWD with the V6. Completely different vehicle. Nice ride, quieter. Went with the V6, FWD, leather appointments, and got an excellent, high quality "station wagon". Excellent safety features, much better interior, and versitility. Best of all, 0% financing for 60 months, no payments until 2003! All this and Saturns outstanding dealerships. Delighted.

  You go Saturn! - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By WilliamA1 - December 9 - 2:00 am

  My last saturn ran for 100,000 miles with only oil changes. I did not even need brakes! I have been very very impressed with the reliability of this car, and the dealership offers better service than our local Jaguar dealer, and I should know as I own both.

  Impressed - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By BoiseVUE - December 2 - 5:30 am

  I had my doubts about Saturn but so far it is great. I love driving again. Fuel economy isnt the best but it is very "get up and go". Have heard bad things but so far havent had any problems.

  Saturn VUE, its great! - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By lorcan - November 28 - 10:00 am

  Im 64" and its very hard to find a car that I can fit into. The Saturn VUE is a dream! I have plenty of leg and head room and I can fall asleep easily on the passenger side. My wife thinks its the hottest thing around and she loves the green exterior color. We recently took it to Northern Calif. from Boise Idaho and had no problems.

  Great Deal, Great Car - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By mbb - November 22 - 2:00 am

  I traded in a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, and I havent looked back. The Saturn is well laid out, has great features, and is a steal of a deal. Dont pass up looking at this great car.

  On thing after another - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Didier - November 11 - 12:33 pm

  I bought this Saturn Vue new and 6 months later I lost the transmision driving on the highway then it went downhill from there, little things one after another. Poor quality on the dash instrumentation, broke the hazzard light button twice, handle for the hood release broken twice. Issue with fuel guage malfunctioning seems to have been an issue with several GM models in southern Ontario. Heated seat not working anymore on drivers side. A few lights on the dash not working anymore. Was not impressed to learn that new tires where only available at the dealership only and they are quite pricey. Headlight bulb gone out had to go to dealer to have it replaced because I did not have in hand the GM screwdriver

  By Jan Brooks-Long - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Its great! I love that Im a mom with a car that my daughter can get in and out of (shes 3)and I can transport alot of stuff, but I can still have my funky steering wheel cover, and my fabulous little SUV. The seats fold 40/60 style in the back & you can fit anything!

  CR-VUE - 2003 Saturn VUE
  By Pumph - October 16 - 10:00 am

  Solidly built, reliable vehicle. Much more solid than the "tinny" CRV a co- worker drives. Easy to park and yet roomy inside.
