The vue is the worst. Needs a tranny. Has the cvt that all die at 80k or less. Found a good one. Had to ship it in from Maine. Too bad that red one is different. LOL

Our CVT has close to 150k on it already.

What do you mean 80k or less?

Good morning guys...

I bought my sister an '04 Saturn Vue 4cyl with 5spd manual trans... Been a great car for her for over a year now...
I knew the CVT trannies were trouble on those cars so I steered very wide of them.
As I understand it, the V6 Vues have a Honda engine and trans.. Probably a whole different deal...
