More about the 2008 Saturn VUE Used 2008 Saturn VUE Overview Over all this car is everything I could've asked for especially being a college student. I do recommend getting a new radio installed because it looks great but the factory radio works very well also. The car has great speakers, but I ended up getting a touch screen installed because I wanted to use the Bluetooth and not have to pay I star to talk through the car when I got a call. We drove through a foot of snow in it and it did very well, obviously you have to be cautious and make good choices with driving a two wheel drive in the snow but we did it. I … live in Indiana so we get a lot of snow and this little car only being front wheel drive had done great, haven't gotten it stuck once. My family loves it and my grandfather that owns many muscle cars and worked at a car dealership said it's a nice little vehicle. I don't think I could trade this car because it has been good to me. It's been reliable and has never failed me 3 years later. I was extremely excited and absolutely loved it. I got this car in 2013 as a surprise since I was going to college the next year. Overall, the new Saturn Vue should make for a very pleasant and practical daily driver. Though there are some faults - less cargo space than what's available from some of its bigger rivals, for instance - they are more than compensated for by the Euro-inspired styling, attractive cabin, composed handling and variety of powertrain offerings. If our driving impressions are any indicator, the Vue is no longer a back-of-the-pack entry and now merits consideration from small-SUV shoppers. A revised "Green Line" hybrid version is also due for release later in the model year. The Vue offers a choice of three engines, ranging from an inline-4 to a high-output V6, while transmission choices include a four-speed and six-speed automatics. Major changes include an interior design that welcomes rather than alienates, improved driving dynamics (with steering that actually feels connected to the front wheels) and the availability of numerous high-end safety and convenience features including standard stability control, an optional navigation system and standard satellite radio. Thankfully, there's more to the new Vue than just its look. The old plastic body panels are gone, replaced by traditional steel. In terms of size, it's pretty much the same wheelbase measurements are identical, and the new model is just a tad wider and taller. Essentially a rebadged Opel Antara, the new Vue looks nothing like its former boxy self. A refresh for 2006 improved things inside the Vue, but it still wasn't up to the segment leaders, which benefited from complete redesigns during the last few years.įor the 2008 Saturn Vue, the demons have been exorcised as General Motors looked to its European Opel division for inspiration. And sloppy, numb steering didn't win the Vue any fans either. If Playskool fashioned a car's interior, we imagine it would resemble that of the early Vue, such was the fit and finish. Sadly, the Vue distinguished itself in other, less desirable ways. There was also a tuner-inspired version called the Red Line that sported a track-tuned suspension, big wheels and racy ground effects. State-of-the-art transmissions were offered, including a five-speed automatic and a continuously variable transmission, while later on, a powerful (Honda-sourced) V6 gave the Vue serious straight-line performance. Its flexible body panels could take a hit from a shopping cart or an adjacent car's door without leaving that automotive scar of urban America - a ding or dent. The previous Vue distinguished itself from the compact SUV pack in many ways. The 2008 Saturn Vue is a completely different animal than its forebear.
