I love this vehicle

Never thought I'd own an SUV, but this thing is awesome. Drives great, looks great, and handles great in the snow.

Great looking, smooth on highway, lots of room.

The 2008 is a great combination of looks, comfort, and handling, with lots of space for passengers and cargo.

Awesome CUV

The Outlook fits all my needs -- sporty look (dual exhaust and foglights) that can haul 6-7 people with good gas milage. I have been getting 21-22 mpg average. My wife and I bought it new 3 months ago. No complaints whatsoever! Love it! The dual sunroof/skylight is awesome! Do checkout tan leather with either Garnet and Cocoa, you'll love it.

Great car, terrible heating system.

I drove this car in 2007 in 20 degree weather and again this week in the low 40's to see if the poor front seat heating was anyway improved. The driver ALWAYS has a right leg that is warm while the left leg is always ice cold. Vice versa for the front passenger. Incredible that their engineers messed up such a great car with such a poor heating system.

Gas mileage is the only issue...

We love our Outlook! Great looks (we paid extra for the red version), interior is nice, handles well. The 6-speed seemed to shift abnormally but this is being fixed a software upgrade from Saturn. We are getting about 16 in the city, and 23 on the highway, not really much to complain about for this big of vehicle (202 inches), which is the same as our previous minivan. $3.00 per gallon makes it difficult I guess.
