I previously had an 06 Vue but had problems, enough to trade in on new. the 08 drives great, handles curves, is sporty enough. The storage compared to the 06 stinks, there are lots of storage places but they're not big enough to hold neccesities, like sunglasses for example. I stay on the road and carry books, binders, and other school items, no room for any of it now. Gas mileage was better in the 06 too. I didn't ever get below 20 mpg, now I don't even see 17.

I have always loved this car. Just checking trade-in value, should I trade for a newer vehicle - am looking for a similar vehicle

Love my Vue

After an 8 month wait for the manufacturer installed sunroof, I've now had my Vue for 2 months and have put 1500 miles on it with city and highway driving. This is my first SUV and I test drove all the competing small SUV's and did a lot of research (including reading all the consumer reviews on Edmunds) before deciding on the Vue. My sister has the Lexus 300 and said if she closed her eyes, she couldn't tell the difference in the ride. This is a solid, well-built crossover that is really fun to drive. The V6 is very much worth the price as are the upgrades. Fuel economy is improving as the car gets broken in.

Make sure you have the chasis and axles looked at

My friend just purchased a 2008 VueXR. It looked nice and drove nice. She had to get a plug put in the tire. When the person was doing the plug, they put the car on a lift and noticed that underneath was nothing but rust and ready to separate from the axle. It is now declared unsafe to drive. So now she is without transportation as she spent all her money to purchase this and it is also unsafe to sell. Why would this rust so bad?
