Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
Little less weight might improve gas milage,very minor, but the turn signal clicking is irratating & too loud

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
For almost 8,000 miles this car has been perfect. Everything works well and fits well.V-6 perfromance is great. Been plesantly surprised with consistent gas milage at a little over 20MPG with as high as 24MPG on the road-that with driving almost 80 (hard to keep it down) Hope the Florida Highway Patrol doesnt read this!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
Better gas mileage
More heat to the floor of the drivers side.
Door lock and opener on the passenger side. More Room inside, especially the leg room. Move the heated seat buttons. The vehicle is too heavy and the gas tank is too small

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
It is a spunky V6,however it lacks a bigger gas tank and leg room. The ride is bumpy. Poor mileage. I have had mine 4 months and am trading on a 08 4Runner. I might as well have a bigger vehicle if I am only getting 20 miles to a gallon in the VUE. The 4Runner also rides better. Sorry Saturn, you can't beat Toyota

Add a compass! Owners manual includes instructions but 08 does not have a compass. It would be a nice gesture for mfgr to install compass on already-purchased Vues.

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
Actual gas mileage is running in the 26 - 24 range. Our former vehicle was an 01 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd which we enjoyed but feel much better about our Vue.

We would definitely purchase another one!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
Too sluggish, hesitates upon take off. Be aware of that if you need to excelerate quickly! Gas mileage is barely 19 MPG on 4L Engine.

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
Take a long test drive to make sure that 4L engine works for you with limited 'get up & go' power.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn VUE?
I like my Vue better than I did my Lexus RX! It actually has a much smoother, more comfortable ride. It's got lots of unexpected features given its much lower price. My VUE was a very good value!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
It would be nice to have a power tailgate door, a better designed shift knob, (hard to press)and dual driver settings.

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
Hey, General Motors -What's the big secret?
Advertise this baby. People need to know it exists and that its a GM product! I am so happy I stumbled in for a test drive.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn VUE?
Great performance from the 3.6L V6, good handling and a lot of bang for the buck compared to some of the competitors. Simple but effective controls for all of the radio and environmental systems.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
Wierd shape of the side view mirrors, rear seat belt buckles rattle against doors at times when driving.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Saturn VUE?
The design of this SUV is awesome. While smaller than its predecessor, there is a lot of room for passengers.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
The storage space is awful for this category. A couple of bags fills the space so don't pack too much. The fuel economy is at the bottom of the pack.

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
Avoid this car unless you opt for the hybrid. How and why is gets such bad MPG is beyond me. Saturn, get the lead out and maybe someone might purchase this hog.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Saturn VUE?
Seats need more lateral support. The front cupholders are too low down and it is awkward to get drink from it while driving.

2008 Saturn VUE Review:
Overal, a wonderful vehicle which is on a par with Honda CRV and Toyota RAV-4.
