2008 Saturn Outlook - Best family vehicle

My vehicle is a 2008 Saturn Outlook. It is an XR model and has third-row seating. It is the best family vehicle you could buy. I fit my family of four in the vehicle with plenty of extra room and storage. The third row folds down, allowing for a ton of extra space in the back. In fact, my husband can lay both back seats down and fit his kayak in the back.

Story

A memorable experience I have is piling my family in the car and going to Florida to the beach.

Pros

Some of the most positive things about the Saturn Outlook are they are very reliable, good gas mileage for size, great for traveling, and comfortable seating. First, they are reliable. My Saturn gets me anywhere and everywhere I need to go. Second, for being a midsize SUV, in my opinion, the Outlook gets good gas mileage. I can fill up my tank and it will last me all week. Next, it is great for traveling because it is spacious and can fit up to eight people. And lastly, the leather seats in my outlook are very comfortable.

Cons

One of the most negative things about the outlook is that Saturn went out of business so Outlooks are no longer made. Another negative thing is when purchasing a brand new Outlook, they were somewhat expensive. Also, on certain year/models, the wave plate in the transmission is highly likely to go out. If you are past 120,000 miles, that is something you would have to fix out of pocket and could get very costly.

2008 Saturn Outlook - Worst SUV Ever

For the money, this vehicle is classy and elegant, and it has every possible luxury you can get on an SUV at a reasonable price. The problem is all of the electrical problems and transmission problems that it has.

Story

I took my son to New Orleans for his birthday. I took him to the zoo and on the way back we got off at the French Quarters, it was raining and instead of getting off we drove through it. It took us one hour to drive down the streets, but we had the radio on and we sang and dance and we had a lot of fun. He was a little embarrassed that I was dancing on my seat while singing, but he got over it.

Pros

I do like the features of the vehicle. I like that it has a moonlight panel on the back seat of the SUV and also sunroof in the front. It has leather interior, back sensors, running boards and DVD player on the back. It has adjustable seats and also memory you can adjust the setting for two drivers. You can open the trunk of the car with the keys and also start the car from the key sensor, which comes in handy when the windows are frosted, and I can started from the house and wait for it to defrost.

Cons

It has a lot of recalls. Specially electrical and transmission wise. I have had to replace the ignition switch several times, electrical problems with the transmission, headlight problems where the piece that holds the light bulb.
