Summary
The best thing about the Vue is that it's backed by Saturn's highly regarded sales and service people. If you don't like the local Saturn dealer, look somewhere else.

| | This was my first ever new car that I bought and I love it. The salesman was great, the car is great and I have no regrets at all. The only improvement I would suggest is the inside light is back too far so when you go to turn it on it's hard to reach. | | posted by Rylee on Dec 07 2007 | | |
