HATE THAT WIND NOISE!!!

I have had my 2006 V6 Vue for about a year,and this is my first SUV. I love the look of the vehicle, and I haven't had any problems with it's performance I also love that it drives like a car, but that wind noise at 50-70 mph drives me crazy. It sounds like my window is not rolled all the way up, or maybe my door is not completely closed. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it.

Owned a 1999 Taurus wagon w 3.0 litre push rod motor and at 60 mi/hr it was turning 2,000 rpm.The Saturn with the 3.5 liter OHC (Honda motor) does 75 mi./hr. at 2,000 rpm. Quite the efficiency difference. Drove across the country Cali. to Maryland non-stop Xmas 1998 with alternate driver and got 24.7 mi/gal.

I am just shy of 230K miles on my Jessica. Great and dependable for all these years. So, blessed to have purchased the year it was mae with a Honda engine, reliable. great ride. nice lines. I will be sad the day that I sell this vehicle. But, it's not going to happen yet.

Great car for dependable service, roominess, and economy. I cannot understand why GM ditched the Saturn brand; although I think the Vue was transformed into the Chevy Equinox, also a good car.

Too many visits to dealership

31,000 miles and has been at the dealership several times with the same issue, transmission, torque converter, or they say. Corporate says that the problem is normal for the Vue. If normal then would be there from day 1. Still rattling noise and hesitations after past last gear. Would never own another Saturn again. Zipping noise when turning steering wheel. Dealer says normal for car again.
