2005 Saturn VUE FWD review from North America

"The 2005 Saturn Vue is the biggest disappointment from General Motors EVER"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

It would take far less time to review the things that have not gone wrong with this SUV. When I purchased the vehicle in July of 2005 I was a GM employee, and I chose the VUE because it was the only GM SUV that was available with a manual transmission, and because I was coming out of a Mustang Cobra, I wanted to keep something on my vehicle that felt sporty. I have basically lived in a rental car since purchasing this piece of garbage. The 02 sensor has been replaced 4 times. The radio has had to be replaced three times (and I replaced it a fourth time with a Kenwood head unit after it went out of warranty because I wasn't paying for another Saturn radio that was just going to break again). The fuel economy, which was supposed to be up to 28 mpg highway averages 11-13 mpg HiGhWaY, to which they told me wasn't a problem (and maybe it wasn't for them, but they didn't have to feed the thing). It stalls periodically for no reason, usually in the middle of rush hour while in gear. The sunroof leaked. Now, one oil change after it goes out of warranty, as I'm pulling out of my hidden driveway onto a busy road, it stalls. The clutch is shot. The transmission is shot.

General comments?

Is vehicle belongs at the bottom of a lake, not in my driveway.
