2004 Saturn VUE review from North America

No problems so far. The dealer did fix an annoying squeak from the tailgate before I purchased it.

The car is extremely fun to drive, almost no blind spot. Feels very quick compared to the Honda Odyssey mini-van that I traded in. Though I am a bit concerned about all the bad reviews on this car.

This car is easy to park and really easy to back up!! And unlike the mini-van... this fits in my garage. :)

Only problem I noticed, is that steering is MUCH looser than on the mini-van. So am going to take it in and have it checked. It maybe just something that needs getting used to.

Dealer is nice, but not nearly as nice as when I bought my last Saturn... had to run on fumes to the gas station when I got the car as they didn't leave enough gas to even get me home. Said they don't fill the tank up for used cars anymore. Also, they actually balked a bit when I found my own financing and essentially paid them cash. You would think they'd be happy to take a check.

All in all, a much better buying experience than either the Forester or Mini-Van... would have purchased another Forester... but just not large enough cargo area for the family. This was a really happy medium in size.
