  • Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    Was not looking for a new vehicle when I fell in love with the Vibe. The dealer who had the car was not even great, but the perfect car made up for it. Love the extras like two prong outlet and moon and tunes pkg. Better looking than Matrix and all the reliability of a Toyota. Best resonably priced car.

    Purchased my vibe in 3/04 and was very pleased with it. The gas millage is good and the styling is great. Very fun to drive and handeling is great. I just do not like the spongey feel of the seat material. It feels like a mini suv.

  • Good Value - but questions remain - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Great Gas Mileage. Fun Car to drive. Fits smaller people like a glove. Some quirks that seem not to make sense such as Headlights always on(Can not be turned off at any time), Front windows recall(mine were fixed under warranty before recall), Front of car including hood chips very easily, and most nagging for me is the fan in the car is always on(air comes through vents constantly). These things get noticed after newness of car wears off!

    I love this car! I compare it to the Subaru Outback because of its versatility. Ive only had it two weeks but I can tell the gas mileage is great. Only problem Ive come across is putting gas in the tank. The pump constantly shuts off like its full even when I just start pumping. Very annoying, takes 10 minutes to fill tank. Anyone else have this issue? I checked on recalls or campaigns and found none. Other than that, great car.

    I absolutely love mine. I bought it in June 2009 and could not be more happy. Will be buying another when its time to trade this one in for a new model. Love its capacity and room. It has all the luxury of a big SUV but in a smaller package.

  • Sporty and practical... - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Never under 30 MPG. Enough zip to get you through traffic. Sporty look and feel. Features galore. Great stereo with moon and tunes. Can be packed to the hilt because everything folds down.

  • OK Car - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Roomy for a smaller car. Has some nice amenities - lots of nice storage areas, regular electrical outlet, fold-flat front passenger seat. Has needed more repairs than Id like. Has had on-going issues with the computer system and sensors going bad. Had to replace the wheel bearings early on. AC is now going bad. Transmission leaves much to be desired - does not perform well at highway speeds. This car works for 2 kids, but 3 car seats will not fit in the back.

  • Decent Ride - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Good on the highway. Sluggish 0 to 50MPH. Well designed interior. Great for moving things or carrying loads. 200 watt stereo below average. Speakers vibrate. Omits sulpher smell when you floor the gas pedal. 28 to 30 MPG. Tires are wearing quickly. Original equipment Continental tires will need to be replaced at 35,000 mile, despite rotaing tires every other oil change.
