So far so good.

...I believe that if an owner takes care of a car, the car will work as intended. I find that most people that complain about vehicles are the ones that don't do routine maintenance and abuse their vehicles. My car has never failed me and I doubt that it will. I live in the Chicago suburbs. I love this car. It is great. It is quite fast. I love the heated leather seats as well. The exterior design was what initially caught my interest. I have owned 2 Chevrolets (Camaro,Cavalier) and a Buick LeSabre in comparison. I do love this car...

I love it

..."This is the 3rd Saturn I have owned and I am still very pleased with Saturn. Excellent vehicle. I am very pleased!"...

#3
disappointed
Source: Cars.com

..."I bought the vue because it had higher miles per gallon and I liked the looks of it.
I have owned it for about a month and have driven 1400 miles.
I still like the looks, but the mpg is VERY DISAPPOINTING.
I am getting 19/20 in the city and 25 on the highway.
No where close to the 25 city 32 highway that it's said to get. The other non hybrid SUV I was considering is supposed to get better gas mileage than that."...

Don't waste your money.

...I bought a new 2007 Hybrid Vue when they first came out. It was rated at 27 city/ 36 hwy. It has had two recalls and Saturn Corp. has had their engineers work with the dealership to see if something was wrong with the car because of the low mpg. Sadly, everything checked out okay--except, I am still getting 18mpg in the city and 25+- on the hwy. Since I would have never purchased this make and model car except to get better gas mileage, one can understand that I am really disappointed. There are many cars out there in this mpg range from which to choose. I can only say to potential 2008...

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
Source: Cars.com

...Saturn says there is an issue, but they don't have a fix and I should use caution when driving the vehicle to avoid being stranded in the extreme heat (or cold). This in NOT why a person purchases an new vehicle. I talked people with everyone from Saturn Customer Service to the GM Executive Offices to try to return the vehicle to no avail. After it spent 20 of the first 30 days of ownership in the shop I tried to return it under Saturn's 30 day return policy, but they would not honor it because they counted the time from when I signed papers instead of delivery 5 days later for the dealer...

Worst car I've ever drove in my life!!!

..."I drove the "new Vue" & got just that. I didn't think Saturn could have built a bigger pile than the old Vue untill I drove a 2008,they said "its just like the Equinox, only better"...
HA I would rather drive a Pinto!"...

2008 Vue

..."I have the 2008 XE - AWD / V6 and am very satisfied with the Vehicle.
Style, power and comfort are all in a good mix.It is pretty loaded so I'm enjoying all the toys.
The GM On-Star and XM Radio was a bonus. So far my only concern is that he back cargo area is not quite as big or hold as much as I thought it would. But, it's a beautiful vehicle."...

..."PROS. Great hwy. mpg 28,around town 20;Best looking CUV;Upscale interior; Numerous included features; stable ride; above ave. fit and finish...

Dealer disapointments
Source: Cars.com

..."My 2008 Saturn Vue XR has good fit and finish. Decent seats although a bit firm for my wife's taste.
Good performance and handling. BUT-4 trips to the dealer for transmission problems.
The last time we were told that the shifting and groaning noises (enough to drown out the radio) were "designed into the vehicle".
I'm not buying it. After convincing my wife to trade in her Honda Pilot to help the "big 3" this has been a major disapointment."...

#10
Love My Saturn!!!!
Source: Cars.com

..."I decided to get rid of my tiny little neon, and be higher off the ground.
After much research, I fell in love the VUE. It is very quiet,
rides very smooth, has so many little storage compartments, stereo sounds great, has fun little gadgets, lots of space to move, great onstar feature, and looks great inside and out!"...
