My daughter bought an 06 we test drove it with the decision to buy it. After only 2 weeks and 500 miles the transmission went out all of a sudden. No slipping or warning at all

Best SUV I have ever owned

Only thing I don't like is I can only drive it when my wife is asleep or out of town! Plenty of power, Striking color (Laser Blue), comfortable even for large adults, Great sound out of top end stereo. Getting 30+mpg on straight highway driving but only 19-22 around town. Get lots of looks and comments.

Depends on what you're used to

I had previously driven a van for three years and still haven't got used to the rough ride in the VUE. I wouldn't say it's a bad vehicle. It looks sharp, and gets decent gas mileage--but could be better (ony about 20 mpg) It has the same amount of seating as a car, but I do like the storage behind the back seats. It seems to run great, no problems there. Just can't get used to that rough ride, will probably trade in soon on something smoother.

I love this truck. I traded in an '04 Jeep Liberty for the VUE and glad I did! The VUE rides more like a car but with all the feel of a truck. Cabin noise is minimal, much less than the Liberty. Solid truck with great gas mileage.

I traded my first '98 Saturn SL2 for a '02 VW Jetta, huge mistake. By 30,000 miles and 2 years, I had to get it fixed 15 times. So I traded for a ' 06 Saturn Vue AWD V6. I had the vehicle for 3 years, not one stinking problem. We had a foot of snow, this vehicle did amazingly well and no worries. The gas mileage is like a car, so I'm not paying any more than I used to. This is a very reliable vehicle, only had to get oil changes and new tires. The power windows did not get stuck in the frost/ice like the Jetta did (three times). I have done LONG road trips and no problems with cruise control or comfort. I am extremely happy with my Vue, with the help of Honda under the hood.
