'08 Saturn Vue

The 2008 Saturn Vue is one of the least expensive SUV's available and is completely changed for 2008.

There are two trims - the XE is the base model. The XR trim includes chrome door handles, chrome-tipped dual exhaust and 17 inch alloy wheels. The XE trim comes with body-colored door handles and side mirrors and 16 inch alloy wheels. Optional on the interior is leather seats.

The Vue has an updated interior, with an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat. It also has lots of head and legroom front and back. The rear seats recline. Optional are three-position seat heaters. The Vue XR1 has a deep blue interior.

The exterior of the 2008 Saturn Vue sports a large chrome grille, teardrop-shaped headlights and a downward sloping roof with angled rear hatch.

There are many safety features. Among them are stability control, active head restraints, a tire-pressure monitoring system, airbags and a one-year subscription to OnStar.

This year's model is quick-shifting, and easy and relaxing to drive. The XR gets 16 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
