Disappointment

2008 Saturn Outlook XR 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

We are very disappointed. Since I first bought the vehicle I've had a weird rubbing sound coming from the front left wheel well. It's been in at least 5 times in two years & they never could re-create the problem. When they finally did they tell me it is the traction control sys and ABS kicking in. Hmm, why is it only turning left & going down a hill? The A/C system is awful. Sometimes blows hot, when you want cold, takes forever to switch from hot to cold & vice versa. There is no comfortable temp. A/C controls are now wiping off (the paint/display). Now my steering wheel constantly squeaks & would cost $800 to fix. 3 out of 4 headlights went out, they had to fix some wiring, another $200

Best SUV out there

I love this SUV. I test drove MDX, Highlander, Pilot. This beast outperforms all of them in all fronts. I am very particular about every thing. This things gets good score on every thing. Interior is clean, easy, functional. Door paneling is excellent. Seat design and comfort is top notch. Better than MDX. Body fit and finish is great. Ride quality is great. Perfect balance of handling vs ride quality. Noise must be around 72 decibel at 70 miles. Curious if it gets even better with top quality tires. Back of the seat liners need better upholstery. Cup holders should have slots for mug handles, head rest position should be adjustable like BMW.

Best vehicle my wife and I have ever owned PERIOD. Absolutely no trouble, and the dealership outstanding. Never had anything like this dealership, car was washed at no charge after each oil change, tire rotation. Still take car there for maintenance even thou they were forced to be a dealership for Hyundai, which I will never be able to purchase, because I am AMERICAN!

By far the most comfortable car I have ever owned. An SUV that handles like a car. 60,000 miles and had only one engine problem that was taken care of by GM dealership at no charge due to 100,000 mile warranty. I can't say enough good things about it. My Brother owns the same year Pathfinder and I like my ride a great deal more.
