 Detailed review:

I bought a 2008 vue xe 4cly july 2 07, Sold a chev tracker that i wish i had back. 4speed trans whines in 2nd & 3RD GEAR AND IN MY STATE WE HAVE HILLS. THAT IS WHERE IT STAYS MOST OF THE TIME. HAS ELECTRIC P/S IT GETS HARDER TO STEER AS YOU SPEED UP , OTHER DRIVER THINK YOUR ARE DRUNK. PULLED A MOWER (wt388)on very small trailer, 110 miles most of the time in 3rd gear(whined)ALL the way. Can't use cruise control at 65mph very very small hill makes it shift down 2 gears RPM goes from 2000rpm to 4000rpm in a heart beat. NOW HAVE 1500 miles on IT. 3 TRIPS, 600 miles going back to the dealer. (Dealer no help.)THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND SAY THATs HOW IT SHOULD WORK).TAKE a LONG LONG TEST DRIVE BEFORE YOU BUY. UPSIDE GETS 22+mpg And looks good.
