Saturn vue’s we’re amazing vehicles. My aunt and cousins bought several of those things. Never had a problem with any of them.

[@Dac54]

Saturn Vue was available with the Honda 3.5 liter V6 from 2002 to 2007 model years. In fact, it was the only Saturn available with this engine. Supposedly, this was a deal GM made with Honda in return for GM supplying diesel engines for Honda overseas. I had a 1999 and a 2002 Saturn SL2; the 2002 was the final year of the original design, which had undergone an update for 1996 model year. Both were excellent vehicles, though not very roomy.

[@ronsamborski6230]

I had a 2004 Vue that I bought with ~150,000 miles on it. Th engine was the Honda 3.5L with the automatic transmission. Great acceleration, mileage was good, it was dependable. Had to have all four hubs replaced, and of course brakes and tires done but it was a good car. Lots of other stuff needed fixed that I didn’t want to pay to have done on a 17 year old car with 238,450 miles when I traded it in last summer on a Honda CRV. So many other Vue owners I talked to said they wished they still made them.

He was trying to show it off only to have it blow up on the test drive. Of course he knew it had issues, and maybe the video would have gotten around to that had it not blown up. Those big GM V6 engines in a small car though can really make it haul @$$. We have a 2013 impala with the V6 and it is pretty impressive.

She bought another brand new Saturn in around 2008 ish and that car is still running today with well over 200,000 miles on it. She's finally starting to have problems with rubber seals and other things just worn out from wear and tear so she's trying to hold off for the market to settle down and then she's going to buy a new car. She just doesn't know what she wants now because Saturn is no more and that's what she wanted to stick with. Hopefully she listens to me and gets a new Toyota or Honda.

This car ran without oil, mistakes happen. This owner might have learned a lesson 🤠.

No, you did. Those 3.6s are junk. You’re better off with a 3800

[@konniefights4580]

Did you have to replace the motor?

EV evaluation about EV: They we’re worried that PR means “Poor Report”.

Electric motors are pretty maintenance free really reliable I think Scottie's been a little bias but he's not wrong anout the other half

Love that new electric truck advert, where it's cruising around in the woods looking for a charging station 🤣

That 3.6 is a great engine. I had one in a Saturn VUE XR, That car was waaayyy fast!! It ran puuuuurfect from the day a got till I finally sold it many years later... I think the 3.6 V6 was originally designed for Cadillac. As I recall it won an award for best engine in it's class?? or something like that when it was first released. btw, I used Mobile 1 full synthetic oil. checked the oil level regularly . and changed it about every 5k miles... I never had excessive oil consumption issues with that engine. (never more than a qt between changes).

What is your opinion on best rpm to shift at for a 1.5 L turbo engine with torque range of 1800-5500? Trying to match synchros so shifting is perfectly or close to, for shifting with little to no delay or hiccups

In the uk this is would be a vectra vxr with a 2.8l v6

[@ManuelGarcia-ol2nv]

How did the guy get home? What did he do with the car ? Junk or fix?

[@davidweum]

Scotty when you were in Houston I watched a video of yours about that quick drain system that you put on an oil pan do you remember the name of the company that made that Grace and peace man
