  Nice all around car, but needs tweaking - 2006 Saturn VUE
  By Heather - June 16 - 4:26 am

  I bought the VUE with the following critera - better gas mileage than most small SUVs, room for my family and our stuff, and fun to drive. Id say that all in all, it meets those requirements. I generally get 24-25 mpg, with roughly 70% highway and 30% city driving. Theres plenty of room, and its not a bad drive. If youre looking for a car-like ride though, its not for you. It rides more like a truck. I am a bit disappointed in the overall interior - it looks relatively cheap and plastic-y. The larger disappointment is that there is a LOT of road noise apparent in the cabin. I never thought that feature of a car would bother me like it does. Ill definitely know better next time

  My First Saturn - 2006 Saturn VUE
  By Dj Daily - May 28 - 12:40 pm

  It is not super small or super big. It tows 3000 lbs without effort. The ride is quiet and not harsh. It gets me to my fishing spots. The only complaint the window switches could be better placed other than around shifter.We love it more than the other GM models based on the same platform. We looked at the Ford Escape, Rav4, CRV, Liberity, and Element. This was the best around package for my wife and I.

  My New Saturn - 2006 Saturn VUE
  By Susie - April 15 - 2:30 pm

  I went to this dealer to see a used Jeep Grand Cherokee and ended up buying a 2006 VUE. I believe it was a much better buy, 3 years newer, 1/2 the miles and covered by the mfg warranty. I also purchased a VUE with a sunroof which has been really a nice option for me. I have only had the car about a week but am extremely happy with it. I like the interior a lot. Have ordered luggage racks for it to give it a sportier look, mud flaps too. Think I got a lot more car for my money!

  Plastic Vehicle - 2006 Saturn VUE
  By Charles Newbold - January 12 - 7:40 pm

  I like the Saturn to look at and to drive. I was surprised to discover the amount of plastic used in the body. Sure hope I never get hit buy a volkswagon. Also the seat on the passenger side is very uncomfortable as compared to the drivers side. I find the power very good.I like the saturn,but they could improve the quality and safety if more metal was used in the construction of the vehicle.
