I liked the boxy shape, it had a different profile than other mid size SUVs and had the plastic sides that after 5 years still have no door dings.
The 2006 VUE is one of the model years that has a Honda 3.5 liter V6. 250 horsepower makes it really move when it has to.
After 100,000 miles I still get 25 - 26 mpg on the highway and 17-18 in town.
This has been as reliable a car as I have ever owned. At 100,000 miles it was still on all original parts except brake pads, wipers, tires and one rear wheel bearing.
