I have driven several variations of the Vue, but not a manual version -- I say excellent choice. The 2.2L is quite efficient for a small utility. When transporting 4+ adults and cargo, the 4-banger (auto) was a real hit with the fam. I will admit that I enjoy having driven it. The FE per passenger plus cargo capacity is very good. Throw-in a Honda V-6, and it easily becomes a rocket (literally one of the first GM/Honda collaborations).

Then, they imported the Opel/Vauxhall version and it all went to crap, IMHO. 6-speed auto and everything, it doesn't compare.

Enjoy the efficiency...
