What engine is in a Saturn Vue?

Does the 2008 Saturn Vue have a good engine? I know that they stopped making the Vue, so before I buy a used one, I want to make sure that they didn’t stop making it because of problems with the engine.

The base engine in a
Saturn Vue
is a GM Ecotec 2.3-liter four cylinder.
However, Saturn did offer upgraded engine options in 2008, including a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a high-feature 3.6-liter V6 engine with variable valve timing. So if you’re seeking something a little more powerful, you might be able to find a used Vue with one of those.
Saturn Vues are rated as being very reliable, so it’s a good car to buy used. The biggest complaint about the Vue is that the interior is lacking compared to other SUVs on the market.
The reason the Vue is out of production is that GM discontinued the entire Saturn branch during a reorganization of the company in 2009. However, you should still have the car inspected before purchasing it due to its age.
