My temporary VUE was also laced with the "Power Convenience Package," which costs an extra $1,770 beans. Despite the additional coin it comes with a lot of handy features that makes it worth the money, including power door locks with remote keyless entry (love this feature, very convenient), a security system that includes content theft and anti-lock out, rearview mirror with compass, power side mirrors, cruise control, and an overhead console light.

So where is the air conditioning? Well, it comes standard in the VUE, so not to worry. This particular Saturn also featured a leather seating surface package for an extra $1,295, plus anti-lock brakes (ABS) for a mere $810.

The VUE incorporates standard power assisted and ventilated front discs and rear drum brakes, assisted by standard 16-inch wheels wrapped in P235/65R16 all-season radial tires, a good compromise for sunny, rainy and snowy days.
A fully loaded 4-cylinder VUE, and that includes an amazing assortment of features, reaches the stratospheric price of $37,995, before a $900 charge for freight and pre-delivery inspection (PDI) or applicable taxes. Again, taken advantage of the options list could put this vehicle into a completely different class, but the majority of sensible consumers can be picked through it a la carte, and not opt for all that's on the table.
