I like the serious "get up and go." When I want to pass, it goes like a jackrabbit on steroids. I got the last year for the Honda powertrain.
So far, I have never had it break down on me. I have driven it to North Carolina and back, driven it to work 5 days a week 66 miles round trip.
I drive 33 miles one way to work 5 days a week. I can make to work and back 4 times before I have to fill up again and that includes running around town. I only had to put fuel in it once on my trip to North Carolina in August of 08.
This is my 3rd Saturn, and my 2nd Vue. I love how roomy the Vue is.
Stops on a dime. I almost rear ended a truck when he decided to make a left turn at the last second, I had to brake hard and was able to stop safely. Love the ON STAR. My phone number is with my cell phone company.
