The Saturn Vue will get you around. My daughter bought one last year and loves it. It's not the prettiest small SUV but after logging 254,000 miles and no major mechanical repairs in her 1992 SL2, she'll sold on Saturn.

Previous Saturn owner, and minivan owner. Present owner of 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Thrilled with quality and with service (but only maintenance needed so far). Very competitively priced and fun to drive.

I like the Vue as well. Now that I'm in an area where hunting of deer, elk and moose is the "norm", I'd like to have a box on the back for retrieving game and light home maintenance hauling. 4WD and seating for 5 or 6 is also a "must have" to handle transport in severe weather. I've only put 1100 miles on my Saturn SL2 since April 12 of last year. Compare that to 1000 miles per month when I was commuting to work in San Diego plus occasional 910 mile runs from San Diego to Pocatello. Much less driving now. I could probably tolerate the fuel expenses for a truck now with the reduced driving requirements.
