Red Line Great Car So Far

Red Line V6, 08/06/2008
2006 Saturn VUE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Bought it with 26000 miles on it as a 2 year lease return. I was reluctant to get a V6, but when I found out that Honda made the engine that was put into the Red Line, I made the leap and bought it. Mileage is not bad, but could be better- but not as bad as I thought it might have been. I average about 23-26. Great looking leather, and lots of power and torque. Glad I got it, now I can tow!

This is a great family suv. Everything was definitely easy to repair. The common problem with the Saturn vue is changing the oxygen sensor. Other than that the car runs like a champ. I left my car sitting with out driving it for a full year and I took care of the little problem and now it’s running like a champ again with only 13,000+ miles

Engine with major pep

Even though my wife and I love to drive the new 2006 V-6 with it's 250 hp Honda engine, we have found that the comfort of the interior truly lacks creative design. I am 6'3 and i find nowhere to put my legs for real comfort on those long road trips. The floor is not flat but curves up so the foot can't rest in a normal plane. But overall, it is a great riding car.

Well in the first couple of months the computer module went bad and I lost all power in the vehicle - Warranty $100.00. Then there was an awful squeak in the front end - Warranty $100.00. Then the front left wheel bearing went - Warranty $100.00. Then the computer went again and this time nothing in the truck would shut off and it sat on the tow truck and at Saturn until the battery went - Warranty $400.00 fought and got 100.00 back (battery cost over 100.00?) Then the rear right wheel bearing went - $100.00. And now the Front Rotors are bad and I am doing them myself... Service dept doesn't even ask if it's warrantied until they come and ask you to sign for the total amount for repairs?

I recently purchased a Saturn VUE. I find that it performs very well. I think that the electric power steering is fairly responsive. In truth, there are only a few things that I don't like about the VUE. It doesn't provide a very quiet ride. The door locks are in a position to where they hurt my elbows if I lay my arm out the window. The window switches are somewhat awkward to get used to. Everything else I pretty much love.
