I agree. I have been scouring the internet for someone who has put roof racks on an '08 Vue Hybrid with no success. The dealer is of little help, saying that they can't do it. I need to put a canoe on the roof at best once or twice a year and have t…
I'd call your dealer and talk to the service department there. I know our salesman told us that they didn't put roof racks on the Vue Hybrid because of lessened gas mileage. Like you said though, you could always go to after market places. I wouldn'…
We love our Vue Hybrid, but the lack of the option to add a roof rack for occasional needs is going to be a problem for us. Are there anchor locations under the sealing strip and just hidden, for a dealer to modify, or do we have to find some other,…
The Penske group has a good challenge on their hands with Saturn, and their primary goal has to be able to make some money at it eventually. Factors that affect making money for Saturn include vehicle costs, warranty & parts costs, brand loyalty, pr…
I've had a 2008 Vue Hybrid over a year now with only one small problem - the drivers side rear door wouldn't open from the inside within the first few days. It was fixed immediately and I have had zero problems. I love it.
Thanks for the suggestions! I have cloth in my Vue too and we've gotten some food stains from eating while driving and occasionally from bringing home leftovers on the back seat instead of the floor. My Saturn dealer is great; I'll ask them about it.
Interesting comments. In the city (with a lot of stop and go) I only get 24-26 MPG with regular gas (less if my teenage son drives ). I don't know if mid-grade or premium would help much there.
But most of my driving is highway which is better mile…
We've only using regular gas in our Hybrid and we do mostly city driving. My husband said it isn't getting what it's supposed to though. But in a recent trip to Florida (from Ohio) we spent only $70 in gas each way. I went over and over our gas rece…
Ethanol-free fuel will give you a good (10%) MPG boost. That's probably at least some of the gain. I've found that mid-grade fuel suits my Green Line better than regular; it runs fine on reg, but is probably doing timing games to avoid knock that th…
Recently I had a $1 per gallon discount for gas at my local grocery store; I was also about to make a 300 mile highway trip at 65 MPH. With that discount I decided to splurge and get premium gas, no ethanol. My fuel economy averaged 34.2 MPG for the…
