Used Saturn Vue for Sale in San Francisco, CA

This Saturn Vue was purchased in 2003 right after the birth of my daughter. It was the safest car I could afford at the time. I liked the gas mileage and sunroof. I also liked the 4 doors plus hatchback. I liked the cost too compared to other small SUV's that were on the market at that time.

Story

I love to take the Saturn down to the beach and open the sunroof while we drive.

Pros

I love the sunroof and still use it all the time. I like how versatile the seats in the back are. I like the color, silver. I like the gas mileage.

Cons

I think the transmission is failing and it's only at about 75000 miles. It's a variable speed transmission and I wouldn't recommend any car with that kind of transmission.

2004 Saturn Vue - I have mixed feelings.

I bought my Saturn Vue new in 2003. I love how economical it is as far as gas mileage and cost at the pump are concerned. It is a fun car too. I love the sunroof and use it often. But I fear that the transmission may be starting to fail, as it has for so many other Saturn owners. This vehicle has an automatic variable transmission, and they have been known to cause problems. I think I am starting to notice some of these problems myself. Also, just normal wear and tear but my rear view mirror wont stay put, my hatch back door won't stay in the up position, and my steering squeals, because apparently, you can't add power steering fluid.

Story

It was wonderful to open the sunroof and the windows as we drove near the ocean or mountains or other places of nature.

Pros

Sunroof. Economical. Gas efficient.

Cons

Transmission problems. Power steering issues. Door hydraulics failure. Plastic parts that break.
