  I cant believe I bought a Pontiac - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By furrydogs - August 30 - 10:00 am

  Never thought Id own an American car, if you can call it that. Bought it in December and I have almost 13000 miles on it. Very happy so far. In the short time that I have had it I have taken quite a few road trips with it and have been quite comfortable. I think it is a great riding car that gets awesome mileage. One small gripe is my front fender panel is loose so I will have to take that in to get fixed. Also, the A/C isnt very cold. The options I have are: Moonroof, 200 Watt CD Stereo, Rims, and power package. My MPG with a 5-speed manual averages 33 on the hiway and about 30 in the city. I almost forgot, the cargo room is exceptional.

  STD Vibe w/ 5-speed - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By cgello - April 6 - 2:00 am

  The Vibe has been a great addition to our family. Very SUV like yet economical likes its Corolla cousin. With the seats folded down I actually fit a twin sized mattress in the back. Great job Toyota and Pontiac!

  Gets the job done! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By th3fr4nchi5e - March 3 - 4:31 am

  Bought my Vibe for $200 as a Winter beater about 2 years ago from a gentleman who definitely did not car for the car. A $50 flywheel, $300 in winter tires and alot of TLC and it was back in action. Car has ran great since and is a blast to drive. Not fast by any means but the little 4 banger screams up top and handles pretty well. Its excellent in the snow on fresh winter tires and so easy to play around in without losing control. Got the car with 91k miles, now is nearing 110k. Just the initial stuff and regular maintenance and not other expenses yet! (knock on wood) Gets around 30 mpg on the highway and low-mid 20s in the city. If you need a fun point A to point B car, buy a Vibe!

  That darn engine light - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Sherri - February 20 - 5:00 pm

  I have had my Vibe for three years now and about twice a year it is in the shop for the engine light coming on. So far the most of the time I have been told it is the fuel emissions. Well its back on again and my warranty just ran out... So what to do? I dont recommend the 2003 Vibe at all. I mean I like the way it rides, its style, but too many trips to the shop.

  This is great car to get around L.A. - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By 790riford - January 5 - 2:00 am

  My vibe is 2 years old now,I have had no problems at all. I see all $30K +SUVs eat gas a $2.20 a gallon Im getting 30+ miles per gallon. Easy way give your Vibe some passing power add a K&N air filter.

  Rockin Red Wagon - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By cieglo - May 31 - 12:23 am

  Ive been looking at the vibe and its ever-more-numerous competitors (ZX5, Mazda3-5door, protoge5, PT Cruiser) and its Matrix twin, but all along I knew I wanted the Vibe. I drove a GT a year ago and loved it...but it took that long to find a used one all optioned-up and for a reasonable price. Now, a week later, I love it. Drives great, feels gret on the road, looks great inside and out. Even with 25,000miles on it when I bought it it looks and feels brand new. Did I mention it drives great? Everyone who sees it likes it. Ive loaded it up with gear, driven it like a race-car, hauled passengers, cranked the stereo and everything comes up smelling like roses...all good!

  Overall OK, but a few Kinks - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Ginger Leigh - March 25 - 1:10 pm

  Though Ive owned over fifteen used cars in my life, this was the first new car I bought. I bought it because it was half-Toyota, yet it had an all- American name. Overall, Im satisfied with it. Many people have commented on stylin it is. I like the interior features (the electric outlet, the many small storage compartments) and the old-school Pontiac style dashboard, lighted red at night. However, I dont care for the style of the rear-end, and Ive had minor electrical problems (battery, sunroof, the interior map light). Also, the pick-up is kind of slow. Interested? Get the GT, all possible options, and definately get the extended warranty -- GMs warranty STINKS!

  My wife and I bought the Vibe as a second car. We are both 6ft+ and it has great head room and fair leg room. It also good gas milage. The back seat has room for a car seat and two grandparents. We are very happy with it.
