Owning this car has been a great experience. Overall handling is absolutely great. The Interior could use some added features (Storage compartments around the stick) which I noticed they did on the newer models but for the most part it has lots of room (Love the pop-up grocery carrier). Great mpg's for this car although it could be improved. I'm sure they have done this with the newer models as well. As an owner I love this car. No problems with it so far.
Great car!

We bought this car new and have put a lot of miles on it already, and haven't had to do anything to it other than change the oil. For an SUV it has good gas mileage, not 30 like they say but 27ish. The only complaints we have is the interior stains very easily, spill water and it stains. Also the seal on the passenger window went bad right away and leaks all over the seat. Other than that is has been excellent! We've driven it across the country a couple of times and it is very reliable and comfy. Just needs new upholstery. Enjoy!

This car handles surprisingly well off-road, though I when I wrecked the passenger side ball-joint, it was making a standard turn on a paved road. The trim rattles a little while driving, and putting 'er in first gear or reverse during a Minnesota winter is tough initially, but fine when it's warm (heated seats are a huge plus). Overall, a very good purchase, especially during the employee discount period. I do wish I would've waited a month for the '06, however.
We love our VUE

We purchased our 2005 VUE to tow behind our 40' motorcoach. It tows like a dream. You never know it is there. We find the color (Dragonfly Green) does not show the dirt from the road and rinses off easily. We especially like the added space in the rear that holds a full cart of groceries and then disappears into the floor when not in use. Our dogs have plenty of room when the back seats are folded down, but a bonus is, one seat can be used while the wider of the two is folded or visa- versa.Easy loading from back or side doors, too. In our opinion, this is the best mid size SUV and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Also two full size bicycles fit inside when we need to use them, a huge plus.

Seems like everyone worries about the big HP cars. We were looking specifically for a 4cyl. Concerned about an 'economy suv', my wife insisted on the power package (16" aluminum rims, 5-speed manual trans, & sunroof). Turns out, if you can live without awd (as folks did all up until recently), the performance of the ecotec 2.2 is impressive. Even better is the maintenance (oil change can be done in 5-minutes without spilling a drop), dent resistant doors (which were tested by a shopping cart the day we took it home), & roomy back seat (at 6- 2, I rode in the back with no problems).Overall, for 'middle class' folks, after 15,000K we have yet to question our choice! 30 mpg hwy didn't hurt either
