A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 167 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and power train; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 10.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 32 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.59 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Vue makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Space and size
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Vue tells you more than any review.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting.
