The Vue

I'm knocking around the idea of checking one out,my 03 Ion will be paid off next year,I sure could use the space,no foot room in the Ion.I still like th manual shift& this starts out with a

4cylinder,matbe next trip to my Saturnstore for whatever breaks.

Most depressing. I am now entering into an income range that would allow me to purchase a new[er] car, and now that Saturn is no more, I'm not sure what I want. Kia's have timing belts. No good. I guess I'll just stash S-Series and some Vues on the back 40' :P

Well, I'll guarantee you the Vue is not much bigger. Even with the seat all the way back, I feel kind of tight in the Vue.

I much prefer sitting in my Avalanche. :)

I don't know how big the other guy is, but I just bought an 05 Vue and i am

6 foot 3 inchs 258 pounds. Lots of room. I actually have to have the seat ahead a bit. My two other s series cars, I had to have the seats as far back as they could go in order to drive them.

Thanks for th 411,figures,when i show an interest in something--poof-- it be gone.now the question is: will the Vues in the dealerships still be around,or,sell 'em to an auction.thers goota be more foot room than the ions.

Yeah I d> Thanks for th 411,figures,when i show an interest in something--poof--

There is a good deal of foot and leg room. The floor boards are deep so your thighs will make full contact with the back seat. The only issue I have with the Vue is no lumbar support. That could easily be added by the owner however.

I agree - Unless PR plays for the NBA or is Sgt. Hightower there's plenty of leg room. I'm 6'-1" and I think I'm 3 or 4 "clicks" up from all the way from the back position, and when you have a stick, you have to be a comfortable distance...

PS: For those that don't get the Sgt Hightower reference, that's from a bad (but good in a way) "Police Academy" movie, as when he learns to drive he doesn't fit in the Honda, so he literally rips the front seats out and sits in the back seat to drive :)

It all depends on where your height is. I'm only 5'-11", but I'm quite long between the knee and foot. This gives me great trouble in some vehicles when there isn't a telescoping steering wheel. My knee hits the steering wheel and I can't properly place my foot on the pedals.

I dunno. I guess it comes from being an Avalanche owner. I am

6'4" (190cm) and just don't find it particularly roomy.

It IS fun to drive, tho.

Driving a 6,000lb truck, you don't get the fun seat-of-the-pants experience you get in a V6 VUE. :P

I really do need to make it a bit quieter, tho. What tires are recommended? I have the OEM tires still at 25,000 miles.

Guys, there are plenty of VUEs out there to be found right now and many dealers have 'em plentiful. What I was saying is that probably by the year end, there will hardly if any at al be any '07's left.

The Ions Have zero room on the floorbehind the pedals.I've adapted after 4 years.
