Used 2009 Saturn Vue XE

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  While the Ecotec engine is generally solid, the model has a history of transmission sensors failing and electronic gremlins in the OnStar system.
• Maintenance (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Maintenance is relatively inexpensive and straightforward since it shares many GM corporate parts, though Saturn-specific body panels are becoming harder to find.
• Technology (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Features are very sparse, even for 2009; the lack of standard Bluetooth or a sophisticated infotainment system makes the interior feel dated.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The cabin is surprisingly quiet and the seats offer good support for long drives, benefiting from the vehicle's Opel-based engineering.
• Dynamics (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  The XE's 2.4L four-cylinder engine feels sluggish when passing, though the European-sourced chassis provides more composed handling than many domestic rivals.
