2008 Saturn Vue XR Tour and Overview

This is my new car, a 2008 Saturn Vue XR. This video was just to show how everything on the car was when I purchased it, and it will be used as a reference for future things I will be doing to it.
I know this video isn't the greatest, as it's my first real tour video, but I plan to make every video better and better.

[@kristinahohstadt492]

I just looked at one of these, golden cashmere in color. It's sharp! And it only has 65,000 miles on it. I may be getting it. Your video makes me even more excited about it.

[@JM811Cars]

You should definitely get it! They are very nice cars! Mine now has 84,000 on it and I've had no issues with it so far.

[@shani50]

😍They looks nice,but are they good SUV?

[@Yummie-Cakes]

I would've loved to have heard the update on how the vehicle has lasted you!

[@followthewhiterabbit8561]

probably broken and in the junk yard.

[@candyland6059]

I got a Saturn vue 2008 v6 engine and im at 200k miles no serious issues just brakes and rotors changed one in a while and the car push i be racing with it

[@ricphilly4520]

Bought mine from my job for 300 bucks and had problems from the start had to change the starter alternator and tune it up! After all that it still wasn't right wouldn't get over 40 and found out the Catalytic converter was plugged so I put it off and put a sleeve on it and it's been running great ever since definitely a great car to get from a to b in!!!

[@JM811Cars]

Sounds like whoever had it before forgot to change the plugs and ran it that way for a while lol... but they are great cars

[@amymmg]

Ric Philly I think my alternator was bad on my car for years. My catalytic converter could have been a problem too but I don’t know much about them. There were so many electrical problems and in the end the gears slipped. I had to turn the car off to stop it and restart. I also had to be careful not to gun the engine and it would try to slip gears if I went over a certain speed. It finally died and I was told the transmission and alternator were bad among other things. I just got a new car. I loved my Saturn from 2008 until 2020.

[@polyjuicepotion3672]

Is it still running okay?

[@ryancooper5004]

I bought mine a little over 2 years ago. Though it had the I4 with FWD. Its still my baby. Thinking about doing a video on it when the weather gets nicer. I plan on getting work done on it and having it detailed. #ForeverSaturn!

This was a good video, especially being your first!

[@JM811Cars]

I'll be making some new videos in the next coming weeks for sure, stay tuned!

[@RaychelD2400]

This was my first car. My mom bought it in 2009 before saturn went out of business, and then She gave it to me in 2013 when i got my drivers license. It was a great car until it started to break a lot. Even chevy couldnt fix it properly anymore so we sold it for a honda CRV.

[@shalondashanell4267]

i just test drove one with 190k miles for $2200 and i’m kinda on the fence about getting it mostly because of the miles. What would u say are the pros and cons of this car ?

[@JM811Cars]

I really enjoyed mine. It's a solid car, and I wouldn't let the miles scare me, especially for the price. If it was well maintained its got a lot of life in it still

Did you get it?

[@litahsr.8226]

Hey i've been looking for that kind of car that looks SWEET! i'm from Michigan too 😉 can u tell me what dealership did you find it? have you had any bad problems with it ?

[@DejanOLeite]

In Brazil and Mexico, the Saturn Vue is known as Chevrolet Captiva.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

When Saturn GM brand ended in 2010, they want the Saturn Vue back to become Chevrolet Captiva in the USA (not available in Canada but Canada has Saturn Vue from 2008 - 2010). Built in Mexico and South Korean / German GM parts

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

2012 Chevrolet Captiva with US license plates driven in some Canadian roads and seen them in New York and Florida.

[@markkraeger8987]

Hey, does this car have an aux cord or anything similar to that or is that something that you would have to install?

[@JM811Cars]

Yes, it's on the radio itself

[@twanp444]

How did it hold up when u had it? I know this year is said to have a lot of transmission issues..

i want one of these now instead of the 07 3.5. looks like you're in the portland area too by the looks of it?

[@amymmg]

Gracemarie McCurdy Is your alternator ok? My car was acting up for years and it just died a little over a week ago. I had to get a new car. There were a lot of weird electrical things happening over the years. I suspect the alternator was bad for a long time. Eventually the transmission started slipping gears. It was making awful sounds. Maybe have them check your alternator, which controls so many things electrical and with starting the engine. I wish I started looking for new cars way in advance but I didn’t have the time. In the end the car needed a new transmission, alternator, had an exhaust leak, and after that I stopped listening. I loved that car soooo much.

Are the hybrid 2.4l version good?

[@JM811Cars]

From what I've seen, they're pretty reliable. Plus you get a little added power from the hybrid system in the already solid 2.4L

[@mulletmotors22]

Is the Honda 3.5 vue redline or is this one faster?

[@JM811Cars]

Car geek 101 Its hard for me to tell tbh... they're very close. This one feels faster just because the transmission is car smoother, and handles far better.

[@mulletmotors22]

Thats good to know, I personally like the styling of the newer one better and I might want to get one some day and im a Honda fan boy and was like gotta have that j35 but since you mention handling I reconsider lol.

[@JM811Cars]

Car geek 101 I mean don't get me wrong, they both handle great for what they are. The second gen is actually the Opel Antara, and well those Europeans like to travel fast and have good handling, and you definitely can tell
