The 3.6L V6 is a very smooth engine with a nice spread of torque across the operating range. When coupled with the 6spd automatic, it makes a respectable combination of performance and fuel economy.
I purchased the Redline trim level. The interior seating is very comfortable and very sporty/stylish for an excellent appearance. The contrast stitching in the seating, the white faced gauges, and the overall layout of the interior is very pleasing.
The VUE Redline has stiffer springs, revised damping rates, and a lower ride height. It drives more like a car than an SUV. It corners flat, and the stock tires fitted to the Redline have plenty of grip. Braking feel is very good and seems strong.
