  My Vibalicious Vibe! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By freemary - May 21 - 10:00 am

  Overall, 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...

  Disappointing - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Skylark - October 25 - 2:00 am

  Car is cute, but disappointing. The tires are the worst!! They had to be replaced already and are going bad again. The tread is wearing on the outside. Does not go in the snow. TOO MANY BLINDSPOTS!! Drivers seat is not comfortable. Defective battery!!

  not so bad - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Batman2327 - August 27 - 2:20 pm

  This car has been great so far. Bought it used and havent had any problems. Although the acceleration isnt great it does have a fairly consistent acceleration up to 100mph and what it lacks in acceleration it makes up for it with good handling, esecially for a tall vehicle. I can fit two booster seats and a car seat in the back with no problems.

  husky-mobile - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By excal - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I bought the vibe mainly to take my two huskies for their walks in areas less populated. It is the first "car" I have bought in years. I have gotten used to trucks.

  Great Car - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By JohnR - August 5 - 10:00 am

  Bought my Vibe with 33,000 miles and now has 108,000 after my 5 years of ownership. Oil changes every 5000 miles. First brake job when it was in the 90k range. Changed the belt and did a few other preventative items at the same time but thats it. Car has been great and is zippy enough to be fun to drive. Ugly GM radio but the sound is good. My drivers window rattles a bit but its the only one so there may have been some damage to it before I got it. All in all, this is a great car if you are looking for a reliable, sporty, and convenient vehicle to own.

  Pontiacs Best Kept Secret - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By dkrblaze - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Ive been looking for new wheels for quite a while now, and came across the Vibe. After test driving the GT model, with the 6-speed manual trans, I was sold! This thing is a rocket! Same car as the Toyota Matrix, but with an American nametag. Smart looking vehicle, with a TON of room on the inside. Seats 4 adults really comfortably, and rear seats fold down to create a lot of room for moving just about anything! For the money this is a wonder car. Way to go Pontiac!

  my vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By doublell1 - January 26 - 5:33 am

  The vibe is a good car for intercity driving. I like how small it is and how easy it is too use, the gas mileage is not the best but the joy of diving and versatility that the car provides overshadows its downfalls.

  pontiac vibe - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By robin - November 24 - 10:00 am

  I love the car but the seats and dashboard get dirty quick. It is hard to keep clean. The trunk doesnt come with a rug and your stuff slides all over the back.

  No fun in mountains, MPG false - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Denver Driver - November 23 - 5:36 am

  We got the AWD Vibe to take to the mountains but it is way underpowered and the AWD version doesnt come in manual transmission to help. Transmission actually feels like it slips when going up long hill, feels like someone has rear ended the car. Also we get about 22 MPG, Hwy or city. Other than that, the car is fine, roomy, I really like the air vents as they fully close.

  147 K to go! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By THEPEST - August 30 - 10:00 am

  The Vibe is all it is cracked uo to be. Anticipate getting at least 150 K out of it. Regular routine maintenace is probably the most important factor; you take care of it & it will serve you well.
