Summary
The Saturn Vue has evolved from generic utility device to full-fledged sport utility with the speed and luxury to match other compact SUVs. Though refinement still isn't the Vue's strong suit, it offers a very car-like blend of economy, practicality and comfort. Over the five years since its introduction the competition has become a lot better, but so has the Saturn Vue. Although few people understood the Saturn Vue's mission when it came to market in 2002, everyone can now appreciate the variety of choices it delivers in the market of compact sport-utilities.

| 2007 Saturn VUE consumer reviews: | | | | overall rating |   | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | If you are looking for a fuel efficient small to mid-size SUV, then this is the Car for you. It has all the power we need. It gets amazing gas mileage and it is very big. Make side air bags and ABS standard on all models of the VUE. | | posted by Arturo on Mar 02 2007 | | |
| overall rating | | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
| | I've had my VUE for a week and love all the wonderful features and the superb gas mileage. I'm impressed with the comfort of the Vue. I really enjoy driving this vehicle and the handling is great. We'll definitely go back to Saturn for future purchases. | | posted by Lorenzo on Jun 28 2007 | | |

| | This vehicle is very comfortable to drive. Great storage space and fantastic handling. I would recommend a Vue to everyone I know. My only complaint, it has a small gas tank. The Vue would be perfect with that feature. | | posted by Lukas Miles on Jul 28 2007 | | |
