No problems so far. The dealer did fix an annoying squeak from the tailgate before I purchased it.
The car is extremely fun to drive, almost no blind spot. Feels very quick compared to the Honda Odyssey mini-van that I traded in. Though I am a bit concerned about all the bad reviews on this car.
This car is easy to park and really easy to back up!! And unlike the mini-van... this fits in my garage. :)
Only problem I noticed, is that steering is MUCH looser than on the mini-van. So am going to take it in and have it checked. It maybe just something that needs getting used to.
Dealer is nice, but not nearly as nice as when I bought my last Saturn... had to run on fumes to the gas station when I got the car as they didn't leave enough gas to even get me home. Said they don't fill the tank up for used cars anymore. Also, they actually balked a bit when I found my own financing and essentially paid them cash. You would think they'd be happy to take a check.
All in all, a much better buying experience than either the Forester or Mini-Van... would have purchased another Forester... but just not large enough cargo area for the family. This was a really happy medium in size.
Why does this car make so much noise from the tires as it travels down the road?? I cannot understand what back seat travelers are saying due to the road noise inside our 2004 VUE---other than than that, it is a great car--what can we do to lower noise in the car?
To the comment above, there are a few positives and negatives when a vehicle is built with the polymer panels. You get no rust, they are very durable and always look new etc... The negative is that they do not insulate noise as well and that is why you will hear more. Just a little negative to all the pluses I guess! I loooooooove my 04 vue V6 FWD!
