Dan208 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 So I think I've narrowed it down to one of these two vehicles. I haven't tested out the XL7 yet (probably will Tuesday), but I drove a VUE yesterday and fell in love with it. Just from doing some online comparisons the two seem pretty matched up. Does anyone have any experience with owning or doing an install in either of these? Most likely I'm looking at a 2008, but a 2009 is a possibility. I'm a very indecisive person to begin with, and spending this kind of money makes it even worse. Thanks for any help.

treossi Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 i used to be a saturn technician... the vue i think is a better car than the suzuki. if you do buy a saturn... don't buy a 3.0 liter...the 3.5 liter is a really nice motor in the vue.. and the 3.6 is also really nice.. havn't seen much problems at all with those... just stay away from anything saturn with a 3.0 liter... they were older models though Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
Dan208 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 Thanks for the info. Is that the 3.0 specifically, or the 3.0 and anything below? The one that I test drove was a 4 cylinder 2.4 liter. Feedback thread- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/70871-dan208-feedback-thread/page__p__981961__hl__dan208__fromsearch__1entry981961
treossi Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 just the 3.0.... the 2.4 liter you drove is the best engine imo Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
BanginOnABudget Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 sorry but both of those cars are kind of shit. if youre looking to survive a crash get a domestic.... just my $0.02 im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire. Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block.... 1990 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr. Big-3 in 0g on Stock Alt. Pioneer 6.5" and 5.25"s temp. until i can afford the new crescendos. Pioneer 6000ub Reciever NO amps at the moment. SA-15 on 1kw coming soon. MSG Me for a free enclosure design!!

arnold1992 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Posted December 19, 2009 sorry but both of those cars are kind of shit. if youre looking to survive a crash get a 4 year old domestic. if u drive it right it will get the same mileage. just my $0.02 and saturn is not a domestic brand?

Dan208 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Posted December 19, 2009 sorry but both of those cars are kind of shit. if youre looking to survive a crash get a domestic.... just my $0.02 Since when was 4 and 5 star crash test ratings considered bad? And, in my 7 years on the fire department I've seen plenty of people killed in domestic vehicles.
