The last time I bought an American made car was in 1986. At that time I swore I would never buy one again due to the lack of quality craftmanship. And I made it twenty years until I saw the 2006 Saturn VUE. Love is blind! This vehicle, although it gives a comfortable ride, when it goes over a bump you get the feeling something is going to fall off, the dashboard is constantly creaking, and the road and wind noise are horrific. I brought it back to the dealer and was told that the road noise was pretty much a characteristic of the VUE. You can't use OnStar while the car is moving no one can hear you over the road noise. And oh, the gas mileage is awful.

The Saturn VUE V6 is just wonderful. This is my 8th Saturn. Saturn Corp. builds the very best American cars. I have never had any problems with any I have had. The one before the VUE was a 1997 SL1 with over 200,000 miles, and never a problem, and never even burnt any oil. I would highly recommend Saturn to anyone.

The Saturn VUE is a very comfortable and fun car to drive. Reliable, while not intimidating like some of the larger SUVs.

This vehicle is great. Handles really well once you get used to the electric power steering, very unique! Looks great with the chrome package and rails. OnStar free for 1 year. Excellent!

2006 FWD V6 VUE Red Line

Between my wife and I, this is our fourth Saturn, and it won't be the last. The materials and design have been significantly improved from the original and the Red Line package provides a sportier ride with more supportive seats and a distinctive look. Although the gas mileage started off around 18-20 mpg in the city, we are averaging 25-26 mpg on the highway and expect performance and mileage to improve as the engine breaks in. There is plenty of utility to this small SUV as the split-folding rear seats provide a great compromise between hauling people and hauling stuff. I would recommend to anyone in the market for a compact/midsize SUV to check out the VUE and especially the Red Line.
