Fun to drive handles the hills and curvy roads in our town like a champ! The Storage is awesome and the fir is open and roomy. Great style and looks!

ETC problems

I bought this car new in 2008 and the service I received from saturn was great, but now they are no longer here. I have a problem with the ETC light coming on and my brakes lock. I thought this would be under the warranty . But the GM dealer wants $$$$ to check the problem first and then I know I'll be seeing a bigger bill for the repairs and on top of that I have three items on recall which I never received any notice.

Best car ever

I’ve never owned a more reliable car in my life. Had mine for 8 years now and still no major issues. Rolling up to 170,000 miles and see no end in sight. About to drive across country in it actually. Very dependable. It’s what counts.

If you take care of your car, it will take care of you.

I purchased my Vue in 2010, and it had 56,000 miles on it. Here we are in 2015, and I now have over 245,000 miles on it. I have been proactive in maintaining the car. Tuneups were done before required. Same with brakes. I used synthetic oil during the entire time I've had it. The only unexpected repairs were: 1. Radiator (at 215K) 2. Transmission (at 245K) 3. Starter (at 247K) I just put the car up for sale, but I have to say that I've read some bad reviews for this SUV, and I can only think that those people who've complained about it didn't take care of their cars. Too bad, it's a great car, as far as I'm concerned.

Wife 's favorite car

We have a 2008. My wife loves this car. Just the right size and comfort. Almost lost that distinction a few months ago when the transmission went out. Completely! No go any direction! I was really upset, until the dealer said GM would pay for it. Woohoo! $4100 would have been hard pill to swallow.we had 92000 miles. Dealer said 125000 would be the mileage limit, so be aware!
