I love my VUE. it has superior acceleration, handles smoothly, and looks great. The transmission is so smooth that you cannot feel it shift. I was leary at first about all that plastic, but no more. The only negative is the cheesy plastic interior fixtures. C'mon, guys, for $24000, you can do better.

VUE V6 AWD Comments

Recently purchased a VUE 3.5 AWD. Things I like include the following: Honda V6, polymer panels, ease of cleanup and looks, 360 view, and the overall driving experience. The thing I like, by far though, is the Saturn buying experience. It is as good, if not better, than any available - including BMW, Jaguar, Cadillac, (as I have purchased new vehicles from each). The one item I wish could be changed is the automatic transmission shift points. In comparison to the BMW X5, it revs further in first gear (3300 rpm vs 2800 rpm for same takeoff speed) and shifts to a lower rpm faster than the X5. Also don't like the cheap windshield wipers and extra road noise. Otherwise, it's wonderful!

Looked at this car 2 years ago and didn't think power was good but wow the '05 has all the power you need and then some. Just had 6000 mile checkup and like the car more now than I did when it was brand new.

I am very comfortable driving and riding in the VUE. It handles very well. I like the amount of room you have. The 6 cyclinder has excellent power. I like the body style and the design. It catches your eye,

I am very happy with my 2nd Saturn purchase. I can see myself always owning a Saturn. I still believe it's the best kept secret around.
