My girlfriend and I bought this vehicle as a replacement to my 1999 Honda CR-V. I wish I could have my CR-V back. Anything this Saturn can do, the Honda could do better. If there was a corner to be cut at the General Motors factory, they did it. I will never buy a GM product again, this car was the final straw.

What I like about the car is that it handles well. I have had relatively few problems with it. It has a spacious trunk and the fold down rear seats are easy to maneuver. I take it on long distance driving (about 900 miles) and it accelerates well and performs well on the interstate. It is fun to drive and I am quite surprised because it has an automatic transmission; I usually prefer manual transmission cars but this one is not sluggish like most automatics I've driven. I really like the automatic lights; I never have to think about turning my lights on or off because it does that for me. I only have to think about whether to use my high beams. The car has many other automatic features, such as automatic door locking once inside the car. However, something that I sometimes find frustrating, is that sometimes the car will beep or sound and I can't always figure out the reason for the sound. The gas mileage is average, not exceptional. I have had repair issues involving the key not being able to turn in the transmission. After a few repair attempts, the issue was resolved. I had heard that this condition is common in the Saturn Vue SUV.
