The design and performance are some of the things we like about the VUE. The 3.5 litter, 5 speed automatic has all the power that you need for passing and take off. The size is perfect for my wife who is 5'3". It's easy to park and has enough storage storage in back.

Quick and nimble, great drive train, with all the power the typical owner needs. The Red line rides like a car, not an SUV. Corners very well and the sound system keeps you in the groove while you test the 18 inch tires ability to hold the road.

Good vehicle for the money

We own a 97 Saturn, and it has been a reliable car, needing few repairs. When it was time to buy another vehicle, I didn't even consider the VUE because I had seen the first year model (2002?) and wasn't impressed. I was looking at the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, but they cost too much, and I didn't much care for the Toyota Rav4 and Honda CRV. I read a review that said the VUE had been upgraded for 2006, so I went to take a look....WOW, what an improvement! I now have 4000 miles on my VUE and have had ZERO problems. The Honda engine is smooth and powerful and I get about 22 mpg, even though about 50% of the miles are at 70 mph.... I didn't get many options, just side air bags.

Buy the V6. I get 24 mpg overall and 28mpg on the highway. This is one of the fastest SUV's I have ever driven. The 250hp is incredible.

I have 2400 miles on my new VUE and so far so good. I am particularly enjoying the sound system and overall power and acceleration. I just got back from vacation and we had plenty of room for everything, and you can always add a cargo box if you need more (maybe I'll do that for long camping trips). I am still trying to adjust the seat for maximum comfort since I have found that trips over 30-40 minutes aren't terribly comfortable (I'm only 5'10'' but my knees are little too confined). Overall, very easy and enjoyable to drive.
