  love it! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By RN - August 28 - 10:00 am

  The Vibe is fun to drive and performance is great for "moms car". We picked the Vibe over the Matrix because of GMs financing. Mileage is fantastic, especially compared to my old Blazer. Seating and leg room are comfortable for everyone, even in the back seat. My husband, who is very picky about car performance, is surprised at how much he likes the Vibe.

  Fun,sporty,and versatile. Exterior is O.K., but the interior is great. Lots of neat features, but not cluttered. This car is so much fun to drive. Im sure with the current drive train, I will be having fun with car for years to come. I wish the base model had a few more ponys under the hood, but if you dont mind hanging around 4,500 rpm it will do.

  2 Years & Still a Joy - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Dj ViP3R - July 29 - 8:23 pm

  I bought my 2003 Abyss Vibe GT in November of 2004 on an impulse while browsing dealerships. 2 years later and the car is still a thrill to drive! Acceleration is slugish at low RPM but the engine sings all the way to 8000 RPM. Cornering is substandard on the stock rubber but any decent store bought tire will make it a corner god. If possible, opt for the 17" wheels. Stopping with the 4 wheel discs is breakneck and pedal feel is solid. Controls inside are easy to find and cargo space is unreal with all the seats down. I am 65" tall and 4 people my size can ride in this car VERY comfortably. And for you audiophiles out there, this cab space begs for a speaker box.

  Fun,fun,fun - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Ronald Clement - July 10 - 10:00 am

  I used to own a Geo Prizm, (a rebadged Toyota Corrola), and I liked it. (A woman hit me and totaled it.) I then bought the Vibe (built on the Toyota Corrola frame). And I love it. I can fold down the back seats and fit all my band equipment and still get 35 MPG! Try that with a van or SUV.

  Not bad but not what I expected. - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By 93pontiacga - June 23 - 5:34 pm

  Being a Toyota, I thought I could get at least 250k miles out of it before any major repairs. They say about cars nickle and diming you after they got older. This car never did that, it just slammed me with a book. I replaced the cat once, which was under warranty. At 188k, I replaced the clutch. Great so far. It has 219k on it now and it just cost me almost as much to fix as the car is worth. Needless to say, I most likely wont get another car with a Toyota engine in it.

  AWESOME - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By JimBo - June 4 - 10:00 am

  I am 62" in my sixties and find this car by far the best new car I have ever purchased. Seats are so comfortable and so easy to get in an out of. I averaged over 35 mpg on a 6k trip over the winter. WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY A CUMBERSOME SUV AFTER TEST DRIVING THIS CAR. I have not had this car back to the dealer except for an oil change. I can actually get my Kayak inside for short trips. I love this car and can truthfuly say its the best car I have ever owed and I have owned over 30 cars. Originally bought for looks and price (Toyota engine & transmission) but its so much more than that.

  Everybody loves my Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By AKSA - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Wherever I go, my car gets looks (even a year after I bought it). People, sometimes total strangers, ask me how I like it, and I always tell them that I love it. The proof is for those who get to ride in it. The unanimous decision is that the Vibe-GT rocks. It has tons of cargo space. It has excellent performance: Acceleration is better than most V-6 cars, although it doesnt really come alive until above 4000 RPM, with explosive acceleration hitting at 6000 (ie you have to push it hard to really move). Handling is surprisingly good thanks to a tight suspension. The ride is quite smooth - I have yet to have a CD skip, even over railroad tracks.

  We love our Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By resao - June 4 - 10:00 am

  We bought our Vibe in June 2003. It is no-frills base model -- It is the first new car we have owned, and we love it. It is comfortable, fun to drive, and very cute. Love the cargo room! Handles well. good for longer drives.

  My Midland Vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Vibe Lover - April 16 - 10:00 am

  I really like my Vibe. I average 21-31 mpg and have gotten 33 mpg on the highway. I was a minor traffic accidents where a Jeep Grand Cherokee hit me. It didnt move the car hardly any, and I was swerving hard to the right as fast as I could to miss being hit. When I test drove the Vibe, I got next to some 18 wheelers on the interstate, and hardly felt a draft off them. They were going about 70 mph at the time, and I probably 60 mph (getting on the ramp), then up to 70 mph go get next to and pass a few. I also swerved once at about 65 mph to dodge a squirrel (didnt hit the brakes, merely swerved), and the Vibe handled really well (the squirrel survived, too).
