Major Options: Power Sunroof, Leather Appointments Package, AM/FM 6 CD Changer w/MP3, Comfort Package (6-way power driver seat, heated driver and passenger seats, driver lumbar support), Head Curtain Side Airbags, XM Satellite Radio (first 3 months included), 17-Inch Machined Alloy Wheels, Chrome Package (chrome skid plates, fog lamps). Chrome Roof Rail, Floormats Consumer Guide® Fuel Economy: 21.62 mpg (what's this?) Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Mark Bilek Vue is competitively priced, refined, and roomy. GM needs to polish the mechanical components a bit, through--steering and ride control first and foremost. Also, there are some odd quarks like the seat heater controls in the center of a dashboard bin, centrally located window switches, and awkwardly placed pulls for the fold-down rear seats. Still, I would recommend this vehicle to a small family on the go. |

Major Options: Red Line Package (lowered sport suspension, 18" tires and alloy wheels, unique front fascia, Red Line interior, black leather appointed sport bucket seats with sueded fabric inserts, black center console, driver side power adjustable and manual lumbar seats, black Red Line floor mats, black carpeting), Sun and Sound Package (XM satellite radio - service fee extra, 1st 3 months included, AM/FM CD w/MP3, advanced audio system, power sunroof), Chrome Accented Pedals, Ambient Footwell Lighting. Consumer Guide® Fuel Economy: 16.75 mpg (what's this?) Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Chuck Giametta Vue is not among our favorite vehicles of any stripe. There's a level of crudeness about it that can't be justified in a modern automobile, especially one from an automaker with the resources of GM. The V6 is a Honda-made gem, but even it feels coarser and noisier here than it does in SUVs from its Japanese maker. And it doesn't erase Vue's other deficiencies. The Red Line's steering is good, and suspension revisions do quell the queasy body motions that plague other models in this line. But there are far better ways to spend $27,000 on a small SUV. Rick Cotta Sadly, one of Vue's best features is also one of its worst. The composite body panels that resist rust and dents contribute to a slightly loose, rattley feel over bumps. Power is strong with the V6, but the Red Line's stiffer suspension imparts more harshness than sporty feel, making the less-expensive base V6 model a more attractive proposition. |
