We're very pleased and can attest to how well the Saturn Vue 3.5l V6 Vtec performs overall. It's a great overall value, solid performance in terms of power, as well as very fuel efficient! GM did a great job of pulling the superb Honda V6 Vtec powerplant and Honda tranny in the Vue. It's truly a different animal all together with this configuration.
My 2006 just hit 188,000 and is still driving beautifully… Knock on wood. Just don’t gas it too hard and anticipate breaking and hopefully another hundred thousand miles to go… At least!
I never thought I would like a car as much as my vue, awd v6 intake resonator deleted, just great :), would I be as happy with it without the honda engine and transmission? ...NO WAY!
Lol I have 2 right now. Am 04 AWD v-6 with 264k miles on it. for towing stuff, and just picked up an 06 redline awd moon roof, black leather/sued seats. Only 95k miles. For daily It's gorgeous
Yeh that NEAT rear cargo cage is super flimsy... were looking at 03-04 Vue's for my wife, would this be better then a same year ford escape... crash rating, feul economy, offroad, comfort
@qwikz28 im well aware that i spelled Vue wrong seeing as how i typed the word i was thinking about and i was just asking if this car had japanese realiabilty.
@flatblackstrat uhh honda used a CVT in the insight back in 2000, toyota has been using a cvt since 1999, honda used a CVT back in the late 90s in the civic HX. Chevy was pretty late. and alot of are glad they got rid of it
Engy.... you don't say what model you have - v4 or v6? etc.... Look at all the reviews on this car at other sites incl. people love it... Your one bad experience without detail should not disuade anyone from seriously looking at this model.
@sexyboi142 Actually it isn't, it is better. My 2006 Vue (not view) has 94k miles of abuse, and hasn't faltered. Parts are cheap, so even if it does break, it won't cost me much and I'll be able to repair it at home with hand-tools. The only issues I have had with this car have been with the Honda-sourced drivetrain. Most people are surprised when I tell them that; I certainly wasn't expecting that when I bought it.
Got this car last summer it got 5 star reviews I also love this car

Wow GM made a mistake getting rid of their most fuel efficient brand. Saturn was using CVT before many other companies did in the states.
The trans is Honda too.
so what ur telling me is..the 06 view has japanese reliablity?
Great car loved it till vandelized
my grandparents have a vue. its nice.
