I swear by my 2007 Saturn Vue....easy to tow, I don't pull a fuse, and the only issue I ever had with it is the AC compressor replaced once..Otherwise drivetrain comes from Honda...I also have a Sonic as my daily driver and that is flat towable in case I have to fit it up.
I've even seen people towing a VW microbus and and an old beetle...How the blazes did MM fall for the OLDS Diesel?...those things were basically coffee percolators...
I wish GM would have kept their Saturn line.....good cars (lady friend had two Saturn sedans that worked well for her).
I can tell you why I fell for the '81 Olds diesel.... youth. I was starting out in the Real Estate business at 23 yrs. old and wanted a nice four door car to take clients around. I was not very savvy with engines and thought a diesel would give me good fuel mileage, etc., which it actually did.
Wow, what a disaster! It lasted until about 48,000 miles at 3 yrs. old and died (a lot of trouble in between). GM did share in an engine repair but I traded it for a new '84 Peugeot 505 GTI... loved that car!
I know GM makes many good cars, I just couldn't give them anymore of my money as they really dropped the ball and left a lot of us diesel owner's holding the bag.
MM.
