Detailed review:
There are so many things to love about the Vue that it's hard to list them all!
The Vue handles very well and the ride is smooth. I really like the visibility--you feel as if you have a big picture window to the outside world (unlike many other SUV's we test-drove) The VTi transmission works extremely well. I am always surprised how much power the small (2.2L) 4 cyclinder engine puts out. Hills and passing lanes are no problem for the Vue.
Finally, I love the room! You'd think being a Saturn that you were getting into a small car. But in reality, it has plenty of room for 5 adults to fit comfortably.
I think Saturn has a winning combination!
