The problems started from the day I got it home just 1 week ago. The roof racks make a terrible noise above 50 MPH (verified and acknowledged by service at Saturn Dealer) and no one makes an aftermarket rack for the VUE. I thought I was buying a trailer hitch for a 2006 but found they don't have one and the 2005 hitch requires the dealer to cut out the lower panel on the bumper. There are styrofoam structure SUPPORT(?) components throught the vehicle, even in the bumper. The vehicle makes a weird vibration when you cross over a speed bump. The first fill up resulted in a gas-guzzling 15.9 MPG (rated at 19/25). The storage area behind the driver's side front seat lined with foam rubber.

I bought my 2006 Vue Redline new and thought is was a solid vehicle. Now with nearly 30k miles, I've had a new transmission, fuel pump, various gaskets, left front strut mount replaced. Now the right front strut mount is making a rattle. It got terrible gas mileage since day one. (16 city, 18-20 hwy). On the bright side, when they replaced all the above parts, my gas mileage has improved. I'm now getting 20.6 city and 26+ on the highway. That's fine, however, I seem to spend a lot of commuting time back and forth to the dealership. Thanks goodness it's still under the B to B 3/36 warranty.

I feel the lines of this car are very nice looking. I have enjoyed this SUV. I have plenty of room for people and packages. Getting into this car is also quite easy. Usually SUV's are so high up you need to climb in and jump down. I love it.

It does not get what I had expected in gas mileage, I really only get about 15 miles to the gallon. I could have done better with a smaller engine or a smaller car. It's a nice car to drive and very comfotable. I think they are misleading in gas mileage numbers and real commuter driving. All the repairs parts cost a small fortune also as well as the initial cost is more.

I just purchased my VUE and so far so good. I am nervous though since this is my second Saturn in a row that has squeeky seats and I hope that isn't a sign of things to come. Moderately quiet car, some wind noise but not too bad.
