2003 Saturn VUE the cheapest with updated pack review from North America

"If all Saturns are like this, I will definitely stay a customer"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None at all!!!

General comments?

Reluctantly I bought the Vue because is a Saturn and I was used to japanese cars. I tested nearly every in its class and I was drawn by its looks and the price (plus that polymer body that does not dent or rust). I am delighted with my decision. At first that brand new 2.2 engine was kind of a dog, and I was told that I had to break it in... they were totally right! It performs outstandingly, it is very efficient with gas (I travel 206 miles every day for work) and this manual transmission is da bomb.

Downside: since it sits high, you have to be careful on tight curves, but nothing a lowering kit and wider tires did not resolve. I don't know why other people's experiences have been so bad with this car, but cars as well as a toy or as a computer can come defective. I enjoy my little SUV, is more spacious than probably the rest in its class, dent resistant body and performance...I'm in love! With a little bit of cosmetics the interior is easily updated, but everyone that sits in my ride says the same... is this a Saturn??
