2006 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased V6 Vue in January. Wish we never had.
Paid 28,000 but the vehicle is cheaply made and has very little storage. Sticker said 20/28 (avg 17-23/23-33). Getting 14.4 / 22.3 Just returned from dealer who said nothing wrong and the numbers on sticker are approximate.
Also noticed tailpipe is getting rusty after 3 months (car has the whole chrome package so why not chrome the one tailpipe).
And when you open the 2 back windows you get a wind tunnel noise and can't hear the radio.
My previous wonderful 1994 Chrysler V6 250hp got 29mpg at 75mph (too bad it had an engine fire).
