Best Bang for Your Buck
Redesigned for 2006, the Vue made some very nice improvements. The dash, front facade, and rear bumper are all redesigned. The engines are also quieter. The front seat folds flat (seems standard nowadays on most cars) and you get a free year of OnStar. There is also a passenger airbag display on the dash. The steering wheel includes radio controls and cruise controls. Electric/power locks and windows are also standard. Best of all, the price for the 2006 is actually less than the 2005. Moreover, the gas mileage is still good for an SUV (i.e., 22 city/27 hwy). Overall, I am happy with this purchase and enjoy driving it.
Could be better, my 2nd VUE and my last
I actually had another VUE before I bought this one. The old one was a 2004/man.transmission. 4cyl. engine. I liked it more, but it was totaled in an accident at someone else's fault. I survived at least 6 full tumbles down an embankment--I credit the safety features of the VUE. After that experience I only felt safe buying another one. New one is a 2006. Things randomly fall off--hubcap, side door panel. Had to pay to be replaced. Interior stains easily-- wish I had gone for the leather, instead. Buttons on the steering wheel randomly stick (despite detailing/cleaning) and things go haywire. If I could go back, I'd get the V6, the leather, and the AWD. Don't get the basic model.
Pleasant Surprises!
Surprised performance and reliability. Didn't even want to look at the car when searching, but tried it and fell in love. Much like any car, it had a few issues, RT strut tower clunking, dealer fixed. At 49K torque converter went out, dealer fixed. Now I have annoying squeeking noises from tire areas. Volume down button on steering wheel changes channel, not sound. Road and wind noise from frt passenger door. Replaced tires rather quickly..less than 20K miles. Overall, love the performance and the look. Like it way better than 2005 models. Had some flaws, but great car. Dealer great at covering warranty issues. I love the car. First car I bought brand new and will run it to the ground.
