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.

Purchased this auto late 2007 in hopes to help GM. Found out that our Vue was actually made South of the boarder. Had hopes that listed MPG of 22 was not correct, it was. Now Saturn is belly up and I own something which I should not of purchase, should have bought a Ford.

I really like my 2008 VUE. It's fun to drive, has great visibility, and is easy to maneuver in parking lots. It was a great deal compared to other cars and SUVs I considered. I love the XM radio, OnStar, and steering wheel radio controls!I wish I could have afforded the larger engine, because it's not very peppy - especially on the highway. The cruise control is also poor - the car shifts up or down every 10-15 minutes or so, which isn't very enjoyable. I still like it, though, and I have no regrets. If I wasn't upside down on my trade-in, I would have gotten the bigger engine, remote start, and the package that included motorized seats.

Sleek SUV

Got a great deal on a 4cyl certified VUE so I went with it. The car looks great in and out, the only downfalls I don't like about it are the power of the 4 cyl (cruise control is not very comfortable) and the gas mileage for a 4 cyl(averaging about 23 mpg). I would recommend this if someone is looking for a sleek SUV that rides nice.

Very Happy After 3500 Miles

This car is just what I was looking for. It is just right for my wife and me. She will drive it but would not drive our other minivans or full sized sedans. It is a great urban auto and has been just fine on 600 mile trips. It is easy to park and has plenty of acceleration. We have had no problems at all and are now driving it in the snow with temps at or near zero F. This is a Minnesota car and will see -20F in a month or so.
