2004 Saturn VUE FWD 4 review from North America
"This is a very appealing SUV backed by the Saturn dealer network"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
I chose the 2004 Saturn VUE based upon previous experience with Saturns and with Saturn service. I traded a '96 SW2 with 98764 virtually trouble free miles. I asked numerous VUE owners about their experience with the car and discovered that these owners were very pleased with their VUEs.
The front seats are very comfortable especially with the leather option. The seating height makes for a good view of the road. It is a joy to drive. Handling is precise. Shifting through the gears with the 5-speed manual is super smooth and the 4 cyl. engine puts out adequate power and is quiet from inside the cabin. The rear seat is spacious and seat backs recline slightly. Rear lift gate can be opened with the handle without using the key which is convenient. Fit and finish is excellent. The Rain Forest Green paint is flawless and interior materials are of good quality including the plastic pieces. I like the shape design of the VUE and find little, if anything that I would change in this well thought out sport utility. I can fit my bicycles inside the vehicle mounted on an interior bike rack available and purchased from Saturn.
