A few issues, but nothing too serious. Had to replace strut (making noise again after replaced), drive-shaft bearing, wheel bearing. No issues with Honda engine or transmission. Performance is fabulous, but there are some minor issues, such as; wind noise, quite a bit of road noise, radio cuts out intermittently - although sound system sounds fantastic. Overall, I have been very happy with performance and comfort.

It's ashamed that consumer magazines never realized what a great product Saturn was. Due to their constant negative comments about these vehicles, GM was forced to stop production. The general consensus from this part of the country at least, was that the Saturn products were top rate and I can vouch for that. This Vue has been my 3rd Saturn since 1995. All 3 vehicles have well exceeded 200000 miles with just normal wear and tear repairs. The plastic panels held up excellent to our New York winters of snow, slush, and salt. Even the undercarriage held up well, never having to replace any fuel, brake lines or structural parts. Why didn't these consumer mags ever mention the durability of these vehicles. The Saturn dealers provided service that could not be matched by any competitor in this region. Since this will most likely be my last Saturn, my goal is to achieve 300000 miles.

This was such a great car; I cried when I found out Saturn was shutting down and I wouldn't be able to buy another new one. Bought it brand new for my brand new 50-mile each way commute. It's the perfect marriage of fuel-efficiency and SUV comfort. No problems with it at all, drove it from new till 75K miles before I traded it in for a new car; I wish I hadn't.
HATE THAT WIND NOISE!!!

I have had my 2006 V6 Vue for about a year,and this is my first SUV. I love the look of the vehicle, and I haven't had any problems with it's performance I also love that it drives like a car, but that wind noise at 50-70 mph drives me crazy. It sounds like my window is not rolled all the way up, or maybe my door is not completely closed. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it.
So good I own two!

I bought my first 2006 Saturn Vue 5 years ago and loved it so much I bought another 2006 Vue a few months ago. Both are all-wheel drive and equipped with a smooth, powerful Honda V6 engine and drivetrain. GM only used the Honda drivetrain for two years in the Vue, 2006 and 2007, so those are the Vues you want to look for. One has 106,000 miles on the odometer and the other has 121,000, low mileage for a Honda drivetrain! The V6 puts out 250 horse and can do 0-60 in a very impressive 6.7 seconds! With an emphasis on a tapered roofline on many of today's mid-size or compact SUV's, the more squared off design of the 2006 Vue gives you more room to haul tall objects. Say what you want about Saturn's use of plastic fenders and door panels, these still look brand new on both vehicles 13 years later. Finally, living in North Dakota, I know something about cold and snow. The Vues are good starters and have exceptional traction on snow and ice. I highly reccommend the Vue as a low cost vehicle to buy and to operate.
