2008 Saturn VUE Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 257-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
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. see full Saturn VUE review

257 HP is supposed to be powerfull, my 2005 Vue was great with 250HP. However the 2005 transmission was a lot funnier to drive with. see full Saturn VUE review

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. see full Saturn VUE review

Powertrain could be better. A 5 speed option would probaly have been better. Cruise Control does not seem to work appropriately with current powertrain. see full Saturn VUE review
