2003 Saturn VUE review from North America

I was very happy with my trade-in at first from the Grand-Am to the VUE, and was VERY happy TO be rid of the Pontiac in the first place, but the look of the VUE with its spoiler and sun roof really turned me on to get it. About a year went by and no problems at all.

In the past year however, we have had to replace front suspension, the driver's side window will intermittently not power window, the ignition switch will lock up and not turn without me having to jiggle the steering wheel and ignition with the key in it in order for it to start (ghetto, I know), and now I am having to have a complete over-haul on the front and rear brakes due to a violent vibration. However, I am afraid there is an underlying problem to this, and it's not just the brakes. Here's hoping since this is not under warranty anymore (of course), but, needless to say, this will be the FINAL GM I WILL EVER OWN!

The handling is great, pick up on the car when accelerating (minus the strange rattling from time to time) is quite smooth.

I have made several long-distance trips and have not had any issues, other than what's described, but as new as this car is, there should not be this many problems with it in the first place.
