2003 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Don't buy it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Saturn should inform you when purchasing the car that it requires a special filter for your oil changes. Who ever heard of spending $38 on an oil change?
When the weather is inclement, the car is unable to drive up my steep driveway. This AM, I tried to put the car in reverse and back up the hill and it refused to move! So much for AWD!
Previously, the steering wheel would shake when driving and they replaced some parts and fixed that problem. I would never buy again from them.
General comments?
The horn is weak and in an awkward place... by the time I find it, I don't need it anymore.
It is ridiculous that the overhead light can only be turned on by manually reaching back.
