I am in the market for a small SUV - I want something that is good on gas and has a good AWD system. I commute over 60km one way and want the safety of the AWD for the Canadian winters and decent gas mileage. I am married w/ no kids but expecting to start a family soon, so the vehicle needs to cater well to babies, kids etc.

I get a bit of a discount on the Saturn (family pricing) so they end up being about the same price. Both are well equipped. The Tucson GLS comes standard with a few extra goodies (heated seats, mirrors, ability to force 4x4, longer warranty and the dealership has offered me 5 years of free oil changes)

The Saturn felt a little sturdier/heavier and is a little bigger. I am pretty torn between these 2. I have test drove many crossover SUVS and have narrowed it down to the Vue or Tucson. Any recommendations?

I researched both on Consumer Report's web site, and if memory serves the Tucson was the clear winner. I would suggest checking out that and other auto review web sites.
