The one thing I have seen wrong with the Vue, is that the transmission linkage seems to loosen up, or break. The second week of having the Vue, the bottom row of gears, 2nd, 4th, and reverse, weren't working at all. This caused a huge problem, but was immediately fixed by Saturn's dealer.
If you don't have Anti Lock Brakes, like myself, you have constant problems with the rotors and pads. At 29,000, the rotor's were warped, and the car would shimmy when you would brake either at high or low speeds, more so at higher speeds.
The car itself is pretty quick. The 2.2 Liter shows promising quickness, and often can take on any ricer.
The Vue can corner like you wouldn't believe. The suspension is quite stiff doing 60 mph around a medium right/left.
The interior is large, roomy, and can fit the tallest of drivers. My friend decided to take it out for a drive, he's 6'10", and he's in love with my car, because he can fit in it, and still have enough room to shift gears.
The transmission is promising. Very quick with this 4 cylinder, being a short range gear set. At higher speeds, such as 110 mph, the car seems to still have that pep that it has at lower speeds.
Overall, the Vue is a great choice for an SUV under $13,000.
My wife and I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota quad cab and we go to church with a family that has a 2004 Vue and they are really happy with it and we like this review if you will. We would like to trade our truck for a 2003 model Vue. Our truck has less than 47,000 miles and I got a carfax on it a couple weeks ago and nothing what so ever is wrong with it, except we are not really thrilled over the gas millage. My e-mail is (randall533@tds.net),and if posible can you send me information on a 2003 Vue? Our address is (James Scott 124 Kensington apt 302 Parsons Tennessee 38363... James.
