  Great Car - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By GetTheVibe2003 - November 1 - 2:00 am

  I have driven this vehicle over 18,500 miles since I bought in December of 2002 and it has been a pleasure to drive. Comfortable for myself and my passengers. No real problems with it mechanicaly yet. I have just taken it for its usual oil changes.

  Over 20K miles and still lovin it.... - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By vmp711 - October 27 - 10:00 am

  I commute 70 miles round trip to work, driving both highway as well as hilly mountain roads, and I was sick of paying through the nose for gas. So I bought the Vibe, and I LOVE it! My bonus was its roominess -- you can fit a lot of stuff in this car (groceries, bikes, dogs, kids, skis, etc...) If you want to go from 0 to 90 in 2 seconds, dont get this car. If youre looking for luxury, youre better off with a Lexus. But if you want something affordable, roomy, and fun to drive, this is it!!!

  Great car! Definately feeling the vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By GaryMan - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I love this thing. After my sis accident on the highway with the sluggish Pathfinder, we bought this car and its great. Lots of cargo space and good fuel economy too, what more can you ask for!? Dont expect this car to be gutsy, but it sure is fun to drive.

  I love my Vibe. I own the GT model and she sings wherever I take her. She is quick, different, and fully equipted. I will buy another one.

  Good solid car with some issues - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By R. Florez - September 14 - 4:33 pm

  Interior design is great. Very flexible, roomy, and comfortable, however there have been a few quality issues common to this model. Broken blend door motor, broken latches on HVAC air filter, overly sensitive automatic headlight sensor that turns on headlights and dims dash lights on a sunny day when A-pillar casts a shadow on sensor. Ive had an issue with the headlights mysteriously turning on when the car sits overnight in temperatures near or below freezing, resulting in a dead battery the next morning. No mechanical problems. Fuel mileage is excellent with 1.8L engine. I get about 31-32mpg in mostly city driving. Of course the downside is that acceleration with this engine is anemic.

  Great on gas, but poor engine - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Kristy - September 11 - 11:03 am

  I bought my vibe because I have heard such good reviews, and I liked the fact that it is a Toyota in disguise, but I am truly dissapointed. The check engine light came on and when checked out, it turns out I need a catalytic converter, also it has started losing oil so a compression test was done and I need a new engine also, which is why my cat. converter went bad. I have been sooo upset because I dont have the money to just go and put a whole new engine in and I have to have a car. Regular oil changes have always been done in this car so we dont know why the engine has went bad. I hope everyone else has better luck with their vibe.

  Sits high like a van, yet you dont have to climb in. Each seat, except for the drivers folds down.

  Loved it at first!! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Karens commuter - August 14 - 10:00 am

  This car is a great car. Fun to drive, great looking, fits all sizes... at first the gas milage was 32, now it averages 26-28. Still good, but not what i wanted. There is no back support and if you commute, invest in a pillow!! That is my number one complaint. Other than that, I love it. (it looks bigger than it really is)

  Still Loving It!! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Carrie T - August 11 - 2:20 pm

  I bought my Vibe new in 2003 and was concerned that I might have problems as it was the first model year. Im going on 4 years now, not a single problem and I still LOVE it! Its practical (room for just about everyone and everything) and gets phenomenal gas mileage (35-36 mpg on average). Its fun to drive and I still have enough money after filling the tank to do lots of shopping: tiny gas tank = less money to fill! I would recommend this big, little car to anyone whos budget conscious but wants a cool, spunky, dependable car.

  fun and economical - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By cindy - August 11 - 12:53 pm

  I bought my Vibe used with 28,000 miles on it. Ive had it for 4 years and have not had any service issues. Did have the window bolts replaced for the recall (and my windows had started making a terrible noise). This vehicle has carried lots of cargo from roofing shingles to 10 trees. I also have hauled lots of kids in the back seat with no complaints. The car cleans up well and still looks good. I will most likely consider another one when the time comes to replace it. I drive about 80 miles a day so the 30 mpg is important to me. Its also pretty fun to drive, more fun than my Camry or Explorer
