Okay, here's what I need help with:
This car has no power package and I am just wondering if anyone out there has the same and if they regret that purchase. I have kids, so I am thinking it would be really difficult getting the back doors open while only having outdoor access to the locks from the driver and passenger doors.
Now this is strange: There are two interior colours!!! Is this normal? It is grey coloured to the top of the seats, then the roof area inside is TAN! I can e-mail you a picture if you are confused. It looks so weird!
Another weird thing: The previous owner had the bumpers painted to match the car (silver), but there's a little patch of unpainted area on the rear doors. I am guessing that either they could not be painted because they were a different material or the paint has come off. Has anyone seen a VUE that had the bumpers painted? It matches really good right now, but I am wondering if it will start to wear over time.
The VUE is very cheap looking on the inside, but it's so spacious (love that I can fit two baby car seats and still flip the right hand rear seat down) and we really love how it handles, so I can overlook that ugliness. It's a 4 cyl so it's a little underpowered, but it's also a 5 speed, so it's a little peppier on the hills than AUTO. We really need something value-priced and fairly safe and reliable for the family, and seems quite ideal for us.
Any advice you may have on the 2002 VUE would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Paula
