"worked for 3 months" on by vincelives40
Pros: look nice on the outside
Cons: gas mileage never achieved more than 25 mpg on the highway. Interior hurts to sit in for long drives because of the spartan plastic everywhere - hard as a rock arm rests. Hybrid system died completely after 8000 miles.
Summary: I love GM, but this is the last gm vehicle I will ever buy unless they make some serious changes. Loved my old Saturns (owned 3)

"'09 Saturn Vue & need help with Bluetooth" on by neizbob
Pros: I am still learning all the ins and outs of the Vue. The ride is nice as are the all the other comforts. Lots of room, front and back. Storage is very nice with the back seats folded down FLAT.
Cons: Having trouble with connecting my Sprint cell to the Bluethoot functionality. There is a 20 - 30 second delay before connecting me with who I am calling. I can't find out why there is such a long delay and would love any assistance that anyone has.
Summary: Enjoying and still learning. Very solid with many comfort features. Looking forward to road trips. If any can offer advise about the Bluetooth problem it would be greatly appreciated.

"New 08 Hybrid also has battery problems X2 so far" on by sonditom
Pros: Nice looking smooth ride ,Brakes are very excelent!! interior very nice, nice rimms , tinted windows,
Cons: Been to shop 2 times both times hybrid batteries failed, charging system, gas milage only 25 mph and on freeway 85% of time, some creeking noise while driving, transmission boggs down, lot of road noise, .
Summary: I really wanted to like this car and did for the 1st 6000 miles,,after the hybrid system went down I was still hoping it was a fluke, but 4000 miles later same thing, gas milage getting worse was 28ish now 25, and now after 11000 miles its making lot of creeking noise inside cab when driving down road, so Im losing faith, and getting dissapointed in american cars,Im trying to buy american , Im hoping this is the last time for the Hybird system but I just know its not, if I knew now then I would not buy or recomend this vehicle to anyone.

"Owned an '09 for a month now and am very happy." on by amerrill2
Pros: Gas mileage is better than my '05 Saab 9-3.
Comfortable interior on long trips.
Bluetooth, OnStar and XM radio a big plus.
Love having an SUV again.Cons: None so far.
Summary: It does take a little while to get used to a hybrid engine as opposed to a turbo sedan's engine, but that's not much of a complaint. I'm averaging around 25 mpg. My old car averaged around 18 mpg. I have the leather seats and extra package with the sunroof, so I'm very comfortable with the interior. There is plenty of visibility. My 2-year old is especially happy that she can now see out of the window. Even though it's compact, the storage space is pretty good. It's nice to be able to haul stuff around in an SUV again...and get better gas mileage than my old sedan.

"Just Purchased a solid SUV." on by Mp5822
Pros: Body and styling are solid and well designed. Runs smoothly with a short period getting used to the hybrid system. Lots of room inside since moving up from a coupe.
Cons: I haven't found a negitive yet.
Summary: Since we purchased the Vue a week ago and have a little over thee hundred miles on it - it's been a joy to drive. Both my wife and myself have been taken by the easy and smoothness of the Vue. Yes, it doesn't have a break neck speed like a V6, but it preforms nicely around town and on the open road - didn't see a problem with either. For the price we believe it's one good deal. After topping off the tank today we figured the mileage of 26.56 mpg of mostly around town driving, and were hoping to get a little better once we get the driving down on a hybrid. Next month plan a trip AZ. so will see what it will do on the long open road.
