Gas milage 19 city and 25 hwy. And color choice. Only 6 to choose from.
Advice to buyer:
Do your research. Test drive other SUV's that meet your criteria. Get the V6. 4 cylinder is a dog.
Detailed review:
I love the turning radius, for it's size you can make a u-turn in 3 parking spaces width. Shifts on the floor not on the dash. I test drove hwy and in town. Good pick up with V6. Don't even consider a 4 cylinder. The front passenger seat folds forward to give a full 8 foot length of carload space. Although we don't need it the back seat will accomodate 3 car seats. With the added insulation in the 2004 it is very quiet inside. Ours came with the comfort package which includes heated seats, auto adjust on the drivers seat and adjustable lumbar support. OnStar was also already installed and it's a must have if you don't have a cell phone. Although I am supposed to be the primary driver my husband uses it as much as I do! We love it and feel we made the right choice getting the 2004 Saturn VUE with V6 engine, ABS, AWD and side curtains!
