Other Choices:

The 2009 Saturn Vue’s primary rival is perhaps the Honda CR-V, a vehicle that was recently redesigned and boasts a roomy interior and smooth ride. But the CR-V comes with only a peppy and efficient four-cylinder engine, and it's quite a bit lighter than the Vue. The comparably priced Toyota RAV4 is about the same size as the Vue on the outside, but it has seating for seven and a third-row seat, along with a more efficient four-cylinder engine and a more powerful V-6. The Subaru Forester is another alternative; compared to the Vue, the Forester drives more like a sporty small car, with crisp handling and good performance from its flat-four engine, plus standard all-wheel drive. The Ford Escape, despite a recent reskin, looks dated but is still very competitive, with a space-efficient design. The Vue's fuel economy is not as good as that of either the Ford Escape or Toyota RAV4 when equipped with their optional V-6 engines.

    Less cargo space and worse fuel efficiency

    Comparing my 2004 Saturn VUE AWD, the 2009 model is 864 lbs heavier, has 8 cu ft less max cargo capacity, as is less fuel efficient. So why would I want to trade up just to get nicer interior?
