I hope that there will be a whole range of such vehicles in the future. No real get up and go, the hybrid part slows it down. If not, then what could have happened to lower the mileage 16 - 20% Thanks for any help. For calling by name, the system requires drivers to preprogram contacts, and unlike the Ford Sync system will not accept entries that sound similar to each other. Saturn told me that the car is fine, and they found nothing wrong with it! The Escape Hybrid also has better fuel economy, though the Vue Hybrid has better safety scores. The system delivers fuel economy gains through advanced engine control algorithms including early fuel cut-off during deceleration, optimized transmission shift controls and by smoothly stopping the engine at idle. Me know having a very good understanding of engine theory and aftermarket equipment I located 180 tstat and installed.
Wife gets significantly less in town. I can make to work and back 4 times before I have to fill up again and that includes running around town. Both handling and ride quality have been improved in the 2008 Saturn Vue. If you have any questions, just let me know. The system has an impressive ability to recognize spoken phone numbers--even when spoken at full speed.
We like its revamped exterior and we can live with the spartan cabin, but its gas mileage falls short. The volt is scheduled out in late 2010. They've always been reliable out-performers, until the most recent one. The dealer told her she could do this to improve mileage. The system also features regenerative braking to capture electrical energy during braking, electric power assist during acceleration, low-rolling resistance tires and improved aerodynamics. After my test drive at the dealership I was sold, and signed the papers right then.
Add all these factors up, and figure in the poor quality of today's fuel, 12 miles per gallon is not too far off from what you should be getting. On 1000 mile trip, I got 33, when car was less than 1 year old. If you are getting that mileage with gasoline, then i would change spark plugs to bosch platnium 2 or something that allows more spark. I have come to really love these saturn vues. Not only did the mpg go up but the trans shifted better as well.
You can follow any responses to this entry through the feed. However, those cars offer better performance or nicer interiors. It's the light under the speedometer that looks like a transmission. The steering was sloppy and the vehicle was not very responsive. So if anything happens, it's already covered!!! The Escape Hybrid edges the Vue Hybrid with better performance and interior quality.
Potential one-way single-tank trips include Atlanta to St. The size and style of the vehicle was everything I wanted the only thing it didn't have was a sunroof, but that's definitely forgivable. The Vue Hybrid is only available in one trim, which means it is well-equipped with features, including cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls, automatic climate control and OnStar. That's about 3 mpg better than my first Vue would have gotten. It weighs a little more than the other pack leaders I test drove. Check your tires and make sure they are properly filled up.
Spoken directions are clear and concise, and we like the way in which the system gives each command once and then reminds the driver to turn with a chime, rather than repeating the whole command. It just hasn't had many models that people wanted to buy. The girl that complained about her 13 mpg My ford superduty crew cab 1 ton V10 that hauls over 1500 lbs of tools Gets avg. It drinks gas like like a V8. One year after the introduction of the , Saturn has brought out a significantly revised version of the model.
In addition to the hybrid system, standard features on the Vue Green Line include 17-inch polished alloy wheels, rear spoiler, painted fascias and single-zone automatic climate control. The one niggle that we had with the OnStar navigation system was its slowness to recalculate its route when we intentionally strayed from the suggested directions. Wife gets 20 in town, with short stop and go drive to work. It looks good and is very reliable. Unlike the previous model, the new Vue has conventional sheetmetal rather than the ding-resistant polymer door panels that used to be a Saturn selling point. I have been driving since I was 17, 61 years ago and have never owned or leased a finer automobile! In sum The 2008 Saturn Vue Green Line comes with very few available options. Driving this vehicle was fun and under control no problem.
