The 3.5 Honda V6 is good indeed but only offered with an autotragic (automatic) transmission. AWD system is a haldex based system which is better than FWD but not very advanced (no lockers, no torque vecotring, etc)

@@midealautoclub so these vehicles had weak transmissions? They one I'm considering also has the Honda engine

@@tonyyayo2115 Honda engines are good, transmissions sometimes have bad solenoids and on occasion torque converter problems. As long as it shifts smooth when cold it should be fine.

@@midealautoclub thx...appreciate the response as I continue researching the vehicle

4wd is great to help you going but stopping and sliding does not care if you have 2wd or 4wd, it's about center of gravity, suspension geometry, weight and tires.

4 cylinders or the Honda 3.5LV6? They are not bad SUVs, very simple to work on.

@@midealautoclub seller told me that hers has the 4 cylinder engine. I'm assuming that it is solid since u mentioned it in passing via the video. Have you heard any negative stories about the Saturn's transmission? Have always been a Nissan/Infiniti owner in my lifetime

@@tonyyayo2115 4cylinder engines are great. The 2.2L ecotech from GM is great. Automatic transmissions I have no experience with, 5 speed standard transmissions are fine however when cold they are a little stiff to go through the gears.

@@midealautoclub thx for the reply
