2005 Saturn VUE Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is a FWD with the Eco-Tech 4 Cylinder Engine. While it won't burn up the road, the engine has adequate power for everyday driving. Gas mileage is good for a vehicle its size at 23mpg in town and 28mpg on the highway. Interior is spacious, and the fold down rear seats are nice. Interior trim feels cheap and has occasional rattle issues. Stock Bridgestone tires were terrible in the rain, hydroplaned all the time. Have since replaced with Toyo Eclipse tires which are a HUGE improvement. The electronic power steering is nice in parking lots, but is too sensitive at speed. Overall its been a reliable and comfortable vehicle, it doesn't excel at anything but doesn't really suck at anything either.

This was the first car I bought myself, and I have never regretted it. Bought it used with about 30k miles, it's up to about 150k now and while I have had to put some money into it on routine repairs, it has help up wonderfully to the amount I drive it.

This car is very durable, affordable to maintain and to operate. They seem to last forever, we don’t spend a lot of time or money to upkeep the car, yet it always looks good and performs great. Very reliable, comfortable and rides very smooth. We lobve it!

The 2005 Saturn Vue was the best out of the 3 Vues I have owned, *(an 2003, 2004 and 2005). Good HP *(250 with the V6) and nice cargo hold for a mid sized SUV. Fuel mileage wasn't the best and handling in the rain, ice or snow was horrible. Overall appearance was suave, but you really have to know how to outfit a Vue with the right parts and pieces to make it swanky. Interior was probably some of the poorest I have seen. Although it was custom leather on the inside, it stained pretty easily and dashboard trim was failing although well maintained.

We were impressed by the features for the price - having a five member famiy limits our vehicle options to larger vehicles for comfort and carrying capacity, and the Saturn VUE is a nice hybrid of passenger and cargo space without sacrificing comfort and fuel economy... love the leather seats and sunroof too!

The first time I drove this SUV I was in love with it. Mine is a 5 speed manual transmission and it shifts beautifully. This replaced a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier 4 door that died at 72000 Miles.

good overall suv, cannot beat it for the money, has the features similar to those of more value, fuel efficient, the awd system isn't something you want to rock climb with but its suitable for rainy/wintery weather, sounds good, feels good

Faster and more powerful then most people would think. Thanks to the Honda J35A3 v6 for that(250hp, 242ft-lbs torque). Very reliable. Gets pretty good gas milage for type of car it is, about 20 mpg around town if u baby it. 28 mpg on the highway.

Performance- Acceleration not so great, but handles like a car love the electric power steering Build Quality- Mostly plastic is the biggest complaint Appearance- Looks nice inside and out, would change the headlights though other than that not too bad Cost of Ownership- great gas mileage, haven't owned long enough for maintenance Fun Factor- Lots of fun to drive (my first stick) drive whenever i can and its cheap to drive :)

So far, this has been an awesome ride for the family & kept me out of a minivan!
