Love My Vue
I had been researching and waiting to buy when my old car(Blazer) made the decision for me. Wanted the utility but better mileage. Drove major players and decided the looks/features of Saturn offered more for less. When GM decided to let me use my GM points on Saturns, the decision was easy. Thought driving a 4cyl would be boring but it just takes a little change in driving style. No regrets on the 4cyl. It'll run, just makes a little more noise. Got 24.5 on first tank. Interior is fantastic. Love the interior, no GM cheap plastic, things where they should be. Decent base stereo, love the XM. Drives like a car. Realized I'm a car (crossover) guy.
LEMON
The first year we had it it was fine. After 100000 miles it has been nothing but trouble. In the shop allll the time. Bad muffler, bad tire rods, bad breaks rotors, calipers, whole transmission went out, engine sounds like its about to blow any minute. I still have 2 years to pay on it and cant wait to get rid of it. Was just told by the mechanic today i need new wheel barrings. UgH!!!!

Not happy with the Vue
I purchased the 4 cylinder strictly for fuel economy and I am not seeing anywhere close to the 19/26 as promised. Even with the cruise set on the highway I am only getting 18 mpg? I am very dispapppointed in the vehicle overall!
Vue Lover
Overall a great car. Love the design, very roomy and so much fun to drive. I Went up to Lake Tahoe and the car had no issue's, not bad for a 4 cyclinder
Nice Package
Bought this Vue to replace a high mileage Buick Rendezvous that was having issues. Not as much interior space but I knew that going in. The Vue is fun to drive, the engine revs to make the power you need without complaining, the ride is quiet and controlled, and the controls are easy to use. I get 25-26MPG on the highway and 22 in town when the WX is above freezing. For winter, I bought four Pirelli snow tires with steel wheels and sensors. This combo on the FWD is awesome. The Firestone LE tires are crap on snow and ice. Winter MPG has not slipped below 20MPG and that is with remote starter use and lots of slow traffic on snowy road. So far at 13,000 mile, reliability is perfect.
