I'm thiking about buying a midsize SUV to pull my boat (2700 lb with trailer). I see a lot of Jeep Libertys, Ford Escapes, etc., with a trailer hitch but never Saturn Vues. Anybody with experience using a Vue with a hitch pulling around 3000 lb? Thanks. jrf

I was almost clipped by this person who was trying to catch up with another speeding car.I've learned to watch what is coming behind me when one speeding car passes. Often, it is a race of some kind. I just got my 2000 SL1 professionally detailed including under the hood. The engine looks showroom...

You don't have to be religious or stupid to support Bush. I'm an agnostic with atheist leanings and I have a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics, but I vote Republican because I like lower taxes, I want privatized (if only partially) social security, and I don't want socialized healthcare. There are a lot...

My previous car was a '98 SL1 4 door, 5 speed, gold. Now I drive a '99 Chevy Venture minivan. I should have bought a Saturn SL1 or SL2 wagon. Japanese cars like the Civic or Corolla might have better fit/finish but are a lot more boring than the Saturn. Saturns have character. When the Venture...

I have a 1996 Saturn SL2. The fan motor needs to be replace however the Chilton Repair manual tells me the remove the mounting bolts on both the right and left side of the shroud and lift it out. This model has only a mounting bolt on the left side. The right side has some kind of a slide mount...

Is this model built on the same size chassis as the Ion?.Read it was,or,it looks like it is.

At 172,000 I just had to replace the Coolant Temperature Sensor again. The usual symptoms. Temp Light on, check engine light on. The first time I had to change it was at 158,000 miles. So that one didn't last too long. An odd thing happened though as I tried to install the new one this time. I...

I finally broke down (financially, not mechanically) and bought the set of shop manuals for my '01 LW300. I was warned that the cost would be about $140 but totally surprised when I saw the big box of manuals weighing about 20 pounds! Guess I've got a lot of reading to do now... Too bad they don't...

97 SW1 177,000 miles, 284,853 kilometers. This car was due for a coolant flush. According to the owners manual, DEX- COOL radiator fluid only needs to be serviced once every 5 years or 100,000 miles. The last coolant flush service was done by Saturn 5 or 6 years ago. This time I went to an...

I have been fighting different problems with my Saturn 96 SL1 for over a year now. Besides the poor engineering, alarm system from hell, and various other quirks this latest issue might help others. I had a battery that was less than two years old and when jump started the car ran fine. The...
