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.

  Grand Cherokee vs Saturn view - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Dennis Hyrkas - December 23 - 8:46 am

  Was amazed with the acceleration for a 4 cylinder. High RPM during acceleration sounds like a souped up go cart. Steering takes a little bit of getting use to. Handles much better than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Traded my Jeep for the VUE, glad I did.

  2005 Saturn Vue - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By John Marcus - November 23 - 10:46 am

  I bought my saturn view in october of 2005. The gas gage broke at 5000 miles, then at 12000 miles there was an electrical problem and the daytime running lights stayed on. The car died and I had to have it towed. :(. The dealer covered everything but it was still annoying. The dealer was really slow and took forever.

  A Review of the 2005 Saturn VUE - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Clay Welsh - October 28 - 11:20 pm

  I took over the lease on this vehicle when it had 13000 miles on it. Ive had it for 22 months and it has been an excellent vehicle. The only problem Ive ever had was the warranty replacement of a system sensor. Otherwise its been trouble free and excellent transportation. I intend to purchase it in 4 months at the end of the lease. A great little car.

  Saturn Dragonfly - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By vseaton - October 23 - 9:20 pm

  Vehicle is what I always wanted. Gas mileage not really as indicated by sticker. Around 280-300 miles to the 14.5 gal. tankfull. Overall, handling is very good. Heated seats are the bomb for those who have lower back problems as well as the electronic drivers seat.

  I love my Saturn! - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Stephanie - September 11 - 9:56 am

  The fact that ours is a standard allows us to get better than average gas mileage. The best thing, though, is that we can fit everything we need for our three small children (ages 4 and under. Plus the dog! My husband is 63" and he fits in it comfortably. And the seats drivers seat adjusts completely. I was able to get in and out comfortably two days after having our second two children by c-section and could drive comfortably even at 8 and 9 months pregnant with our third! This vehicle is great for families with up to three children. And the safety ratings are very good. There are child locks on the back doors and you can lock the windows so that they are controlled only from the front.

  Lots of Problems - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By kjm0181 - July 23 - 10:50 am

  I have owned this vehicle for almost 5 years and have had multiple problems. While under warranty, the windshield washer pumps on the front and back went out. Had them replaced only to go out again within 2 months. Dealer wouldnt replace that time due to the warranty expiring between the two occurrences. Strut assembly has been replaced twice and still makes lots of "crunching" noises. Also had gas cap seating problems and multiple oil leaks. Will be "divorcing" my Vue very shortly.

  Skat Kat - Moves With Grace & Power - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By Luke - July 19 - 12:03 am

  Enjoy the Vue for its power and reliability. Great carrying capacity with rear seats down. Really moves when required.

  SATURN VUE - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By J DEWITT - June 21 - 9:26 pm

  Its great. I love the plastic panels that make up the exterior doors and quarter panel - they dont ding nor rust. As far as performance and fuel econmy, youll be hard pressed to find anything else. The Chevy Equinox uses the same platform, but does not handle or perform like the VUE. 250 HP MOTOR.

  1st Timer - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By jakrabits wife - April 17 - 7:03 am

  This is our first Saturn we have owned and it is by far the best vehicle. I love the room it has and the fold away cargo, I get a lot of compliments on our Vue. We have not had any major problems with it. We will definitely buy another Saturn, we are extremely happy.

  Best value - 2005 Saturn VUE
  By alex san juan - April 2 - 3:16 am

  I chose the Saturn Vue because of its dent proof features because Im tired of having those irritating small dents that nobody knows who did it. Secondly, it is very quick, because of its 250hp honda engine. I just dont know why almost all the reviews are kinda negative. The Vue can easily beat most of the SUVs on the road 0-60 or quarter mile...best mileage too for a V6.
