Despite cabin upgrades for 2006, the Vue is a mediocre piece of design and engineering. Dynamically the Vue feels dull and ponderous, light and disconnected all at the same time. The electric steering is awful, providing zero feel for the road or the degree to which the front wheels might be turned. The brakes feel OK until the regenerative feature abruptly cycles on and off, suddenly cutting or lengthening stopping distances at whim. Ride quality is decent, and you get the sense that there is a fundamentally sound SUV under all the compromise-by-committee execution.
