Does SATURN make a SUV ? Does anyone have one? What kind of gas mileage does it get? Do you like it? What is it compared to in the Ford line?

 

The Saturn Vue is their SUV offering. I don't have one nor am I in regular contact with anyone who owns one, so I can't offer an opinion. The Chevy Equinox is a longer-wheelbase, re-skinned version of the Vue.

Closest Ford Equivalent is the Escape: FWD/AWD mini-SUV.

I believe they call it the Vue. Everyone seems to agree you should avoid the 4-cylinder, and overall it ranks a little below its competition like the Escape/Tribute, the RAV4 or the Liberty. It's not a bad vehicle, it's just that it doesn't do anything particularly well. You know, just like the other Saturns.

 

My ex-troll has a Saturn Vue. Traded in her Expedition cause it got such crappy gas mileage. The Exp only got about 13mpg. She was praising the Vue cause it got 17mpg, until I told her my Expedition with 246,000 miles AND the 5.4 still gets 17mpg. I think her whole attitude changed about the Saturn. And my attitude about the Expedition changed too. I was considering getting rid of it for something "smaller and more efficient". Glad I had that conversation with her now, ol' bat!
