Suspension, door panels and knobs feel cheap. |

Get ABS! Make sure you can live with the noise over rough roads. |
Detailed review: |
Loved my 3 S-Series cars but my mid-size L was a huge lemon. Decided to get the Vue anyway. The V6 FWD is quite peppy but Saturn must have been going downhill when they estimated the gas mileage. Suspension is VERY noisy - it shakes and bangs like I've got 200,00 miles on it - and I'm going to ask the dealer if they can do anything about it. I noticed it on the test drive so I can't complain. My first week I got rear-ended by a Subaru wagon, which was a big mess but my Vue took it very well. Doors sound cheap and rattle-y when you shut them and the temperature control knob feels so cheap I'm almost afraid to turn it. The Vue got great crash-test reviews. I feel safe in it. Having had cars with ABS and then without, I had the dealer search out one with ABS for me. It's a must-have for the full combat commute into Boston. |
