What Owners are Saying About the 2006 Saturn VUE

"Love my VUE....."

"Bought this car in Aug '04. I used to do a lot of traveling. I have not had any problems with this vehicle. Replaced battery 3 times, windshield wipers as needed, kept oil changed and tires as needed. Was told by a service manager one time, I still had a lot of miles left in my VUE. It is my second vehicle now, but we still drive it pretty often. Don't want to get rid of it now!"

"177,000 miles with no problems!"

"We have owned it for 8 years, bought a lease turn in. 177,000 miles with no problems! Regular maintenance by the factory recommendations and it just keeps going. Front wheel hubs are the only items outside normal maintenance listed in the manual. Car never once stranded us. Only caution is not all Saturn years are created equal. Saturn sourced major parts from different suppliers in different years, do your research, this Vue has the V6 and Auto. I think 2004 and earlier have a different engine/trans, don't get one of those without checking it out."

"Running great for manual transmission"

"I'm happy with car even with high mileage"
