....makes me glad I went the cheaper route on my Vue...I have an '06, but
have the 4 cyl ecotech mated up to the apparently titanium - brick -
super - alloy - Italian built 5 speed manual tranny. 130K miles and
both are rock solid...Wish I could say the same for the rest of the
car...all the little things that drive you batty...suspension noises,
rattles, wipers (only drivers side works) rear wiper, electrical funky
things...every time my radiator fan goes on the traction control light
comes on and the the traction control system turns off (as confirmed
this winter on slippery roads). But it gets great mileage and the
meat-and-potatoes of the car (starts, runs, gets from point A to B, good
mileage) is fine
