2008 Saturn Vue

While I was in Florida I spent the first few days at my Aunt’s house in Vero Beach so we had to get a rental car which we did through National. National has a very cool set up because they allow you to make a reservation for a car which is by default a Pontiac G6 which is also a nice car but if you join their Emerald Club you get to choose any car off of their Emerald Aisle. My family chose to rent two cars so my dad and I chose to snag the 2008 Saturn Vue mainly because of it’s size compared to my Aunt’s much smaller car (I can’t remember what it was).

Immediately I noticed the interior room in this car which was abundant even in the back seat. The next day when I went out with my cousins and my dad I sat in the front where I noticed the shear size of the glove compartment. You can just about fit a gallon of milk in there, it’s amazingly huge. Also on the passenger side I found a small little storage net on the left side next to the shifter there was also a nice storage bin under the seat. And as if that wasn’t enough there was plenty of leg room meaning that you could fit plenty of stuff at your feet.

The biggest complaint I do have about this car is that it is only a V4 which my dad complained about immediately because we’re all used to driving around our gas guzzling v6s. The engine compartment is very nice and compact but that also means that it’s not as easy to work on things yourself but you can certainly do it without too much of a problem.

Just some other quick stuff about the car.

• It had XM which was nice but I do still like Sirius better.
• OnStar was in the car but we didn’t use it so I still want to see how OnStar is.
• Car’s computer took over starting the car which was cool
• The A/C was great!
• Worth taking out for a test drive
• It’s a great looking car!
