The Red Line adds sporty black leather seats with suede inserts and red stitching to the equation. The Vue XR with leather has one of the best interiors in the class. What I did love about the Red Line was the interior. I did not take the Vue into downtown Chicago during that streak and hope the car returns better mileage after a break-in period. That’s just over 14 mpg in spirited highway and suburban driving with the A/C on. When I did refill the tank a second time after resetting the trip computer, it had 100 miles on it and needed seven gallons of gas. The car was so new - 800 miles on the odometer - that no one had reset the trip computer when I received the car, but I could see the gas gauge falling rapidly during my first 60 miles or so. Unfortunately, the Red Line seemed like a sports car at the pump. I don’t mind a cozy ride in an SUV, but in something that’s supposed to be about performance, I would surely sacrifice a little comfort for more thrills. The ride was soft and pleasant, but not sporty. The lowered suspension didn’t improve handling in any noticeable manner. Why not make it a go-fast SUV in the speed department, too? Teamed with a lowered suspension, they give the SUV a go-fast look, but Saturn didn’t add any extra horsepower to the Red Line. The only thing better about the Red Line, though, were the seats.Īesthetically, the Red Line features a huge front bumper and lower grille. When the Vue Red Line arrived in our fleet I was expecting a car similar to the XR, only better - or at least faster. It had a nice V-6 engine, a high-quality interior and a utilitarian cargo area. A few months ago, I was introduced to the all-new 2008 Saturn Vue and was relatively impressed with the package on my XR tester.
