I received my VUE Sport the end of May, the sport has almost all features avail (sunroof, cd player, power windows, doors, mirrows ect) for $16,995 total. The ride is very smooth, at 75 mph there is NO wind noise and the cruise control maintains beautifully up and dow hills (bridges here in Fla)I have loaded the VUE with lots of windsurfing equip, including a 9'9" long 34" wide board inside over the dash and an 8.5 board under it. I looked at all other small SUV's and none of them could come close to the Vue for capasity. The Saturn experience was great. I'm leaving on a 7000 mile trip to the NW with 5 boards, 10 sails, 6 masts, 4 booms and me inside.

As a previous Saturn owner, I knew what I was getting. Yes, the interior is plasticky, but it's a sport UTILITY vehicle. Most of the early problems seems to have been solve. No sqeaks or rattles. I got mine if black-silver, which looks great. Handling is very good for something this size. The engine is smooth, but a little loud when pushed. Are competing vehicles smoother and more refined. Yes. Would I consider another vehicle. NO!

I traded a 93 Eagle Vision Tsi for this and don't miss the funky/clunky "Dodge" at all. It was time for it to go. The VUE is everything an SUV should be...roomy, with clean lines and is fun to drive. I also like to laugh at teh owners of BMW X5s & the Lexus RX300, who paid three times as much for the same sightlines and convenience thsi type of vehicle provides...
