time will tell
Our 2008 Vue has the 3.5L motor, most have 3.6L or 2.4L, anyways it has lots of power and excellent braking and handling. It was a pleasure to drive last winter. We have experienced a few problems so far but nothing major. The seats stain very easily (even water left a mark),glove box light stays on when closed unless you slam it shut. Like I said nothing major. Only has 23k on it in a year and a half so time will tell if it holds up. The zero percent financing was the deal sealer.
Conditional Love
Fun car to drive and mostly comfortable. Cat loves riding on the heated seats. Have had some maintenance problems...hood release cable became twisted and snapped, power steering fluid leak, On-Star battery died, and now emission system light is going on...probably the gas tank cover needs replacing. Saturn dealership very good about fixing items covered by warranty. GM messed up in dropping Saturn. This vehicle model has real potential to outsell all other Crossovers if they would improve on its parts quality. It's just the right size, with excellent pick up and a lot of fun to drive. Someone should buy Saturn just to improve this model and keep it in production.

11000 Miles and Happy
I have had this vehicle a little over a year and have driven in all types of weather (it's a Minneasota car). I have told my wife that this is one of my favorite cars I have ever owned and having just turned 80, I have owned most of them. I am surprised to read the poor reviews this auto has recieved in "Consumer's Reports". I have had absolutely now problems at all and have been quite happy with the dealership. Could some of the reported quality problems be a function of a particular assemby plant?
Beautiful piece of machinery
A very nice and responsive car with 6 speed auto and 3.6 L smooth GM engine. Styling is good and turns people's heads for sure. Two disadvantages though -- rough ride and engine noise starting from 2.5-3,000 RPM.
1st SUV - Glad I Bought It.
A used 2008 with 15,000 miles - it was beyond a bargain. Traded my '05 Acura TL for this, my first SUV so I was used to good handling and performance. I have to say that it's much more quiet and comfortable than my old TL. Ride is very smooth, handles much better than other SUVs I've driven, and I'm not disappointed with the power. Styling is better than 'soccer-mom' type SUVs and honestly reminds me of a Lexus RX, and not a GM product. Interior instruments are simple and uncomplicated, but not cheap looking. The car had some issues when I bought it and they've all been repaired by my local Saturn dealer. The dealership was awesome and the service experience compares to that of Acura.
