This vehicle replace a 2000 Toyota Avalon with 118k miles. This car was bought new. It was quite good on styling and the comfort level was good for a vehicle this size and type. Ebgine performace was exceptionally good for a V6 type. The quality started ear;y on with the windshiled washer motor going out twice and some of the interior harware coming apart or just breaking with normal use. This was aggrevating and a dissapointment. We had the typical 65k brake job but did not expect the rear main seal of the transmission to go out after 65k miles11 This required the trans to be pulled and was a $600+ expense. I am not so much impressed with this vehicle now- the reliability is BAD!

The 2006 Saturn VUE Red Line must be one of GM's best kept secrets. From the smooth powerful drivetrain, to the cool Red Line styling, what's not to like? The VUE's looks get rave reviews from most everyone who has seen it, but most don't even know what it is. The new ebony interior really enhances the interior, and the white (black at night) guages really add to the package. The electric steering is much better than expected, and the ride is just fine considering the enhanced handling that the Red Line package offers. Room in the back seat is the biggest surprise - lots of room for a 6'2" teenager.

I bought my Saturn Vue Red Line this past Labor Day. It's fun to drive, great acceleration and smooth meshing of transmission and engine. Saturn did a good thing by using Honda's 250 horsepower engine and trasmission. MPG highway is about 26 miles per gallon, and city about 18-20. Not bad for an SUV with this type of get up and go.

I have put 6k on this suv now and it handles very well (I traded my 2001 Z3 BMW for this SUV so I know vehicles that handle). Yeah, the interior is on the cheap side, but it seems to be strong with no rattles. I drove this through some serious storms in NY (ice and snow) and was so impressed. I slid less than my buddy's 04 Dodge Hemi 4x4. The leather heated seats are nice and seem to be a good size.

We bought the VUE in January and have had no problems. This is the Red Line, so it is loaded. We have 18 inch wheels on it, and 6 speaker sound. Power moonroof. The six cylinder engine is supplied by Honda, along with the drive train. For the size of the car and 250 horses, it gets up and moves! Saturn customer service has been excellent since the purchase. We can call them with any questions regarding the car, and they are actually there to give real time answers. Bottom line, we are happy campers!
