Everything you could want in a crossover - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By Dandy Don - July 5 - 12:33 pmWe now have over 117,000 miles on our vibe and the only thing we have had to repair aside from normal maintenance is that the drivers side window came out of its track and I had to pay $40 to have them quickly go in and set it back up. I replaced the plugs at about 110,000 miles and they looked kinda dirty...amazing isnt it!? I use it for weekly hot dog cookouts at my work for 200 people buying 15 cases of pop, 50 packs of Hotdogs, 50 buns, cookies, chips etc. which all fit nicely inside while I average 30 MPG + combined hwy/cty. Good stereo (get the moon and tune pkg. with the sunroof and 6 speakers w/250 watts)and an amazing amount of room inside in something only the length of a Corrola.

My Vibalicious Vibe! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By freemary - May 21 - 10:00 amOverall, I am extremely please with my Vibe. It has 23,900 miles on it. The only minuses (so far): When I had the oil changed at 19,000 miles, the technician told me there was a lotof metal in the transmission fluid. He said it was common in new vehicles, but at 19,000 miles, it should have cleared up. I took it to the dealer for the next oil change, so I could mention the potential problem. The transmission fluid again had lots of metal in it. They "strongly suggested" a fluid flush (to the tune of $90). I expressed my concern that a fluid flush is usually recommended at 30,000 miles and my vehicle needed one at 19,000. Well see how it goes...

Still love it after 3 years - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By Terry D - March 22 - 5:43 pmIts a great car and fun to drive. Although most reviews have an issue on the cars power, I find it can to be enough to get on the highway or merge into traffic. I took a long trip last year with the family and it was comfortable and held a lot of luggage, a cooler and two big kids in the back. I had no problem going 80 - 85 mph and keeping up with the flow of traffic. I have only had a problem with a screw coming loose in the moonroof and it wouldnt close properly but it was fixed under warranty. The Vibe wasnt my first choice but I an sure glad I have mine. Its a pleasure to drive!!!!

Very Pleased - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By TMilnamow - March 8 - 2:00 amThis is a small car with unique styling and a top quality drive train with a well thought out interior. Its way above the competion in styling. The only thing I dont understand is why I dont see more of them on the road.

I Loveeeeeee My Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By Meee - March 8 - 2:00 amExcellant pickup when passing for a 4 cyl. Handling around curves is excellant. Smooth drive. Enormous inside, deceiving from outside. Plenty of legroom front and backseat.Cargo space goes from front to back with seats down. Great sound out of the 6 speaker system. Alot of fun to drive. Excellant gas mileage. Plenty of storage compartments hidden as well as open. Enjoyable moon/sun roof. Dashboard reminds me of an old GTO with the round chrome gauges. Bright orange contrast at night makes for great visability.

I Love My Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By Christine - February 13 - 2:20 amIts a great car - sporty, sharp, and classy! Big enough for all your stuff small enough to park in the city. Lots of compartments to store things in the front and the trunk. Great handling - smooth shifting! Great on mileage! Now all it needs is the fridge and the hot/cold cup holders!

I Love My Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By Mandy Ethridge - January 13 - 10:00 amI love my 2003 Pontiac Vibe. I couldnt afford an SUV and didnt want a car. The Vibe was the perfect pick. I am so glad they came out with the Vibe. I had to wait three months to get my Vibe because they just came out and no one in my town had one yet. The wait was worth it. Ive never owned a standard and it is sooo easy to drive. I would suggest anyone to get a standard they are so much fun, and the room is great too! My husband tented the windows, put a stereo and amp and new wheels on it and my ride is sweet. I coulndt be happier! The gas mileage my car gets is also very good and with gas prices going up it is going to be a wise investment.

Never Again.... - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By BorderCollieBingo - December 29 - 11:40 amI purchased my Vibe the first year they came out. Never again! I hope they ironed out all the kinks! I am really disappointed with this vehicle and definitely would not buy another. I have a ton of complaints about this vehicle. The molding at the bottom of the door is falling off, the plastic cover under the front bumper and in the wheel well was falling off and dragging on my tires, the seat belt strangles me no matter how I adjust it, the visors are useless to someone my height (54"). The tilt steering is a joke...it tilts about 1 inch! The size of this vehicle is VERY deceiving. I cant fit anything in it, and the back doors dont open far enough to get anything large inside!

Good Value Family Car - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
By currycook - November 17 - 11:00 amWe bought the Vibe because we were on a budget and wanted a family car that we could afford but also would be reliable. The Vibe has not dissappointed us. It has been very reliable and even fun to drive. I was attracted to it because of the Toyota engine and it has been excellent. Our experience so far has been very positive.
