  Versatile and FAST! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By L.J. - May 8 - 5:43 am

  My 2003 Vibe GT is a great car. The 180 H.P. Toyota GT-S engine is fantastic, and just screams above 6000 rpm. Press reports that say it doesnt have a lot of low end torque just make me scratch my head. The difference between the stock engine and the GT is obvious. Plus, it gets great mileage. I average around 29 mpg combined, and got 35 on a recent trip. It handles great, too! The interior is so versatile, and the rear seats fold to make a flat cargo floor. Theres plenty of legroom, and the build quality is top notch. I would prefer it to be a bit quieter at highway speeds, but what do you want for $20k! Gripes: I replaced the sound system; the shifter is a bit clunky.

  Best way to describe it is it is Fun and on the practical side, it gets great gas mileage...and it can haul around practically anything. I really do love my Vibe...

  Ellis GT - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Richard Ellis - December 26 - 5:16 pm

  My wife and both enjoy our Vibe. We took a gamble buying a new 2003 model that had very little written about it at that time. We are very pleased by the performance and reliability of the GT and have only two minor repairs since we purchased it in 2003. My wife uses the Vibe,five days a week to visit shut-ins and seniors, on backroads that are gravel or sand in addition to normal paved highway. She loves her Vibe and enjoys the "spirit" it has for all types of normal driving conditions. She has mentioned buying a new one after this one reaches 150,000 miles.

  I like it! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By Frank Guthrie - October 28 - 2:00 am

  I bought this one because of the good reviews and the fact I felt like I was actually getting a Toyota from General Motors. I liked the idea of the station wagon features and the advertised good mileage. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find Vibes at my dealer, and I had to settle for one that didnt have the anti-lock brakes and anti-theft deterent and side airbags which I really, really wanted.

  Built Like A Tank - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By BLUZ LVR - September 18 - 4:36 pm

  Unfortunately, in the 2 years we have owned our GT my husband & I each had an accident. I launched it off the mtn side falling out of mid-air into the creekbed after hitting a patch of gravel...no real visible damage. My husband got a flat, steered it across traffic, up an incline downing a fence, then rolled it after hitting a huge boulder...no one was hurt. It held up better than the Toyota Corolla it replaced. Windows stayed intact; no fluid leaks...What a champ!! Having a hard time finding another now that this one was totaled. Lots of research went into this purchase for us...my husband needed comfort and we needed to be able to transport music & sports equipment. Highly recommended!

  110 k and still a great little car - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By paganpink - September 17 - 9:00 pm

  I have the regular FWD with auto. and moon and tunes pkg. Get around 30 mpg (combined) no matter how hard I drive, which is impressive. Recently passed 110,000 miles and have had to replace nothing but oil and tires, and just bought tires for the first time in 3 years. Super little vehicle with an amazing amount of space inside considering how compact it is on the outside, smaller in size than an older Honda civic! Easy to drive and park, small turning radius, and (w/the optional sound system) very loud and great sounding sound. No squeaks or rattles and handles surprisingly well in the turns. One of the best cars I have ever owned and I have had dozens. A Toyota at heart but w/Pontiac styl

  High Mileage Vibe GT - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
  By boblather - June 29 - 11:10 pm

  With just over 80,000 miles on my 2003 Vibe GT, and flawless reliablity I can recommend this vehicle without reservation. The Vibe truly comes to life at high RPMs, and its lower RPM response is better than protrayed by the automotive press. I have been pleased with its frugality, obtaining consistently greater than 30 MPG, and never less than 28 MPG even with hard driving. It truly is a versatile people mover, able to hold a family of five and requisite luggage. The AC outlet is great, although no longer available. As for its looks, its grows on you over time. This car is truly has been a pleasure to own.
