Nicest SUV Ever!

Love my VUE. This is my 2nd Saturn. Very nice and refined. Better than the 2002-2005 they were more rugged. Now that they redesigned the 2006 Saturn VUE it is more refined. It kind of looks like an Acura MDX. But love it to death. Love the features especially the chrome roof rack, sunroof, the heated leather seats, real wood interior, on- star, the excellent 5-star safety rating, keyless-entry, and friendly company.

Disappointments Keep Coming

The problems started from the day I got it home just 1 week ago. The roof racks make a terrible noise above 50 MPH (verified and acknowledged by service at Saturn Dealer) and no one makes an aftermarket rack for the VUE. I thought I was buying a trailer hitch for a 2006 but found they don't have one and the 2005 hitch requires the dealer to cut out the lower panel on the bumper. There are styrofoam structure SUPPORT(?) components throught the vehicle, even in the bumper. The vehicle makes a weird vibration when you cross over a speed bump. The first fill up resulted in a gas-guzzling 15.9 MPG (rated at 19/25). The storage area behind the driver's side front seat lined with foam rubber.

Irritating Problems

I bought my 2006 Vue Redline new and thought is was a solid vehicle. Now with nearly 30k miles, I've had a new transmission, fuel pump, various gaskets, left front strut mount replaced. Now the right front strut mount is making a rattle. It got terrible gas mileage since day one. (16 city, 18-20 hwy). On the bright side, when they replaced all the above parts, my gas mileage has improved. I'm now getting 20.6 city and 26+ on the highway. That's fine, however, I seem to spend a lot of commuting time back and forth to the dealership. Thanks goodness it's still under the B to B 3/36 warranty.

Terrible Road Noise

I bought my 2006 Vue new and have no complaints except for the road noise. I thought it was the tires so I changed and got new ones but it still is so loud. It sounds like a 4 wheel drive truck. It is a really loud humming noise and it about drives me crazy. I love everything else about the car except this noise. Excellent gas mileage, plenty of room. The seats could be a little more comfortable but not bad. The power it has is unbelieveable and when washed and cleaned up it looks brand new. If only I could cure the noise, I really don't think I could stand to go on a very long trip in it.
