2003 Saturn Vue, , Compact SUVs are often the vehicle of choice for active young buyers who want four-door function without a dowdy sedan image. Saturn's Vue joins some pretty heavy competition in the compact SUV segment, but it gives General Motors' small car company a needed weapon in the battle for buyers., , I think of these small SUVs as tall station wagons with a rugged look. Their off-road capability is not really an issue for most drivers since they rarely see unpaved roads, much less dirt tracks. Their optional all-wheel-drive systems are a good hedge against bad weather, when they add safety and security in snow and ice, while the lack of a low-gear transfer case minimizes their off-road use.
