VUE goes VROOM!!!

We love it!. This was a replacement for a Grand Prix and it's like a rocket on wheels. The Honda engine is a goer with 250 horses. Same engine as the Pilot or the Ridgeline. Drives like a sportscar with power to spare. Starts well in the cold, handles the ice and snow well also. It's in and out of AWD without skipping a beat. Only concern is mileage, best so far is around 34 mpg. Smooth and quiet to drive; a keeper and can tow a boat or a couple of snowmachines (it has the best tow rating of the small SUV's)

Great driving auto.You cant tell the driving lights from the headlights when on. I don't like the gas tank on the passenger side and it is also non locking, where the other saturns are. these are minor things other than that it is a great vehicle. I am glad I purchased it.

This is an excellent car & an excellent value for the money. I would highly recommend it. It handles well, is very comfortable & is fun to drive. The seat heaters are a great option. The versatility in the seat configurations allows for caring a lot of gear. Great car, go test drive one for yourself.

I loved my VUE until it was totaled in a side impact accident two weeks ago. Despite the 180 degree spin and a roll over onto the driver side - I was left in good shape. No broken bones or cuts. And the safety glass and airbags did their thing. This was my 2nd Saturn - have a '95 SL2 that I also loved - and I can't replace it with anything but another VUE. We've had it camping, to the beach, and on many road trips. Have compared it to many other SUVs I've rented for business over the years and nothing has ever measured up for ease of use, simple ergonomics, and just plain fun. I'll really miss that truck - but look forward to the 'new' one.
