2003 Saturn VUE AWDV6 review from North America
"Great SUV for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the vehicle thus far.
General comments?
This is my first SUV. I bought it because we needed a vehicle that could carry home improvement materials and home appliances. It serves this purpose very well with the split back seat and fold-down passenger seat.
Getting in and out of the Vue is so easy. It's "butt" height seating is perfect for my 79 yr old mother and my sister with back and knee problems.
I find the seats to be very comfortable for larger-sized people and for a small-SUV, it is very roomy inside.
It has a very comfortable ride and handles well. I like the tight turning radius - which is better than the Intrepid I drove previously.
The gas mileage was poor for the first 800 miles, but it has gotten better with each fill-up.
I love this vehicle!
