Saturn Vue - 2007 Review

We bought our Saturn Hybrid Vue when our first child was 5 months old.  We were very pleased with our purchase and have enjoyed our Vue on quite a few long car trips.  The gas mileage is better than average, the XM radio is a great luxury and OnStar is a comforting safety feature.  We have only had one incident with the Vue.  There was an electrical issue that caused the airbags to deploy on minimal impact with a curb.  Apparently when airbags deploy the hybrid system shuts down and the car's electrical system shuts down.  I wasn't aware of this, and neither was the Saturn representative who contacted me via OnStar and told me to cut down the bags and keep driving as there was no apparent damage to the car.  This resulted in an electrical nightmare that ended up with me broken down at a very busy intersection as rush hour with my toddler locked in the car.  It is a very long story, but all resulted from the minor issue of not knowing you can't drive the hybrid after air bag deployment.  I have had the Vue for two years, and the only complaint was one inconvenient afternoon.  All in all I love the Vue and would recommend it to anyone interested in a smallish SUV with great gas mileage.
