2004 Saturn VUE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Vue is rated at 24/28 mpg. After my second fill-up it is barely getting 21.5 and I live 45 miles from the office so 95% of my driving is on the highway. I took the first one back after 800 miles because it was getting only 20 miles per gallon.
The little vehicle is great other than the poor gas mileage. My 1992 accord got 34mpg.
General comments?
I hope that the gas mileage will get better. I traded in a 1999 Dodge Durango V8 Magnum because it was only getting 16mpg. I will be extremely dissatisfied if I gave up that big powerful engine, great ride and a third row seat for a 4 cylinder 5 speed that only gets 5.5 mpg more gas mileage.
