2008 Saturn VUE XE lack of power
My new XE Vue 4cyl 164hp engine seems to struggle in highway situations. The 4 speed engine seem late in shifting from 4th gear to 3rd when asking for more speed as in a passing situation. You have to really mash the gas pedal to kick it into an agressive speed. Would appreciate any advise or sympathy.

Sympathy: Its a 4 cylinder in a 4000 lb truck, expect to have to mash it to get it to move...on the plus side, you do get the MPG benefits of a 4 cylinder
Advice: 4 cyl motors need the revs to be kept up in order for them to stay in their power band...if you need to move along...mash it
Good luck...
