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 |

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 |
