Comments
Favorite feature:	Surprisingly powerful 4 cylinder engine
Least favorite feature:	The seat cushions are a bit short for me on long trips, electric power steering is a bit vague on center
Advice to buyer:	If you're looking for value, buy the VUE 4 with sport package
Detailed review:	I've found that the VUE handles very well and the 4 cylinder is more than powerful enough for my needs. 5 speed shifts well. Interior well set up, very useful package tray in back, controls are right where I need them. Lots of room in back seats. Great CD player. Few complaints, I'm tall, so seat cushion a bit short for me..but only noticed this about 9 hrs into a 12 hour trip, & steering is a bit vague on center. Was going thru a divorce, so price was important. VUE with the sport package (power windows, mirrors, locks, cruise, air, 6 spkr CD, alloy wheels, auto dim mirror) was about the best value out there, & 0 down, 0% interest sold it for me. Very well put together, excellent paint, quality surprised me, just a couple of occasional squeaks from dashboard. Getting close to 30 mpg on hwy. I'd recommend it without reservation.
