  • Fun to drive - spunky small wagon! - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This spunky small wagon is fun to drive, has a lot of get-up-and-go! Good gas mileage. Nice appearance with the typical sporty Pontiac look! Comfortable seats, lots of legroom and headroom for those tall folks. Cool navigation system, great stereo, and 6- disk CD changer.

  • If it was a lesser car, Id be dead. - 2003 Pontiac Vibe

    I was recently hit by someone who ran a stop sign; t-boned the car, and it was slammed tail first into an electric pole. We walked away from the car with soft tissue damage; if itd been a lesser car, we would have been badly hurt. No side air bags--I LOVED my car. Filled up each Sunday, got me around for the week with 40 miles a day average, with manual transmission. Had a problem with the gas tank, but it was just an annoyance. Car was NEVER a headache. After 6 years, it still had a beautiful exterior, paint held up well. Seats stain a little too easily, imo. Drove well, only had to replace the clutch, NEVER had any serious engine problems. FUN TO DRIVE, just check my mileage, lol!

    This is great car. It is the perfect size and has all the features I want in a car. Moving stuff around has become so much easier with the fold flat seats. And, the sporty look to it, turns many heads.

    We bought our 2003 Vibe Gt with 35,000 miles on it. This model was hard to find! Very few of the higher level car were out there. we have enjoyed it for over two years now, never having a problem. Lots of fun to drive, quick and tight. We added 18" wheels, sporty exhaust, and tint. I hope to drive this for at least thee to four more years. The only complaint is lack of good lumbar support in the drivers seat.

  • Still love it after 3 years - 2003 Pontiac Vibe

    Its a great car and fun to drive. Although most reviews have an issue on the cars power, I find it can to be enough to get on the highway or merge into traffic. I took a long trip last year with the family and it was comfortable and held a lot of luggage, a cooler and two big kids in the back. I had no problem going 80 - 85 mph and keeping up with the flow of traffic. I have only had a problem with a screw coming loose in the moonroof and it wouldnt close properly but it was fixed under warranty. The Vibe wasnt my first choice but I an sure glad I have mine. Its a pleasure to drive!!!!

    This is a small car with unique styling and a top quality drive train with a well thought out interior. Its way above the competion in styling. The only thing I dont understand is why I dont see more of them on the road.

    Excellant pickup when passing for a 4 cyl. Handling around curves is excellant. Smooth drive. Enormous inside, deceiving from outside. Plenty of legroom front and backseat.Cargo space goes from front to back with seats down. Great sound out of the 6 speaker system. Alot of fun to drive. Excellant gas mileage. Plenty of storage compartments hidden as well as open. Enjoyable moon/sun roof. Dashboard reminds me of an old GTO with the round chrome gauges. Bright orange contrast at night makes for great visability.

    Its a great car - sporty, sharp, and classy! Big enough for all your stuff small enough to park in the city. Lots of compartments to store things in the front and the trunk. Great handling - smooth shifting! Great on mileage! Now all it needs is the fridge and the hot/cold cup holders!

    I love my 2003 Pontiac Vibe. I couldnt afford an SUV and didnt want a car. The Vibe was the perfect pick. I am so glad they came out with the Vibe. I had to wait three months to get my Vibe because they just came out and no one in my town had one yet. The wait was worth it. Ive never owned a standard and it is sooo easy to drive. I would suggest anyone to get a standard they are so much fun, and the room is great too! My husband tented the windows, put a stereo and amp and new wheels on it and my ride is sweet. I coulndt be happier! The gas mileage my car gets is also very good and with gas prices going up it is going to be a wise investment.
