  • Owned a 2003 and a 2004 - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Loved the 2003 so much I bought a 2004. Waiting for the supercharger to come out as I purchased the FWD automatic (wife - cant drive stick) The GT version has the PEP I wanted and the supercharger will allow me that. Lets get on GM. Get it to the public. You teased us since the auto show. HATE the automatic headlamps as they do what they want to Sun or Shade.

    With the cost of fuel where it is, had to look for a vehile that got better milage than our 1996 Seville STS. And boy did we find one. Our 2003 Vibe has been a very, very plesent purchase. The milage is wonderful and the ride quite comfortable. The back seat has much more room than anticipated and the rear storage area is just what the doctor order. Have suggest this vehicle to friends and coworkers who are getting ready to purchase a vehicle. So far two friends have purchased a Vibe, and they are completely satisified.

  • Luv it unless Im going up the hill - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    bought my car brand new Sept. 03, went to the dealershop and specifically told the salesman what kind of vehicle I wanted. I got a sporty looking orange vibe, I luv it unless I am going up the hill and it starts to power out and I have to shift down, great on prairie roads. Recently, there is a ticking sound and had it inspected & changed different things I have been told might be wrong with it, but the ticking is still there. A GM dealershop told me it might be the tranny but I have no problem shifting or anything like that or might be a rock inside the tranny, have had no other problems with it except its gutless. I have been told it might be the purge valve so I will change it

  • 200,000 still going strong!!! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    My mother in 2004 needed a new car her old car was worn out and she is rough on cars. She test drove couple cars and fell in love with the pontiac vibe. She bought it brand new with 9 miles on it and in 2014 exactly 10 years later I write this review this car now has 211,000 miles still drives literally like its brand new aged very well awesome gas mileage and cheap to maintain!!! I recommend this car for anyone Toyota and GM made a good product toyota powertrain and motor and gm body. Since pontiac is dead now the vibe is still being made under the Toyota Matrix nameplate.

  • The fun car to drive and own - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have no complaints about the way the station wagon handles or the fuel economy, and I still get a lot of complements on its appearance. I still cant figure out why the dealership doesnt promote the Vibe.

  • Great car replaced blazer Ok dealer - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    After 3 chevy blazers and terible gas millage and expensive repairs I switched to the Vibe GT. Still able to pull my jet ski, haul 4 bikes in the hitch and still get close to 30 mpg even at 80 mph. Does loose a bit of speed up the hills down south, but a quick downshift to 5th and kept up with friends in there vans and suvs. Only difference is it was under $20.00 to fill my tank and we all went around 300 miles to a tank of gas.

  • 118K/2.5 years What a lucky pick - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    As you can see by the miles, I work from my car. While I wish I had a Cadillac for comfort, I use a pillow. I only average 30/31 simply because I spend so much time idling on the phone. So if my miles are any part of reality, I would imagine that engine hours wise has produced an additional 30% of use by simply idling. The main reason why it idles so much is because of the one BIG flaw the car has - the headlights. While I appreciate the safety involved with them, when the car is running with lights off and turn car off to "accessory position", the lights remain on. So its easy for the battery to die. At 118K I would by another one. I think I tell you about that at 240K

  • I love my baby - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Yu did not allow for the few of us that bought this car in 2002 I was the 1st at this dealer ship in chicago and have loved it ever since that day the only correction I have is the front window side molding is located at a point in view that obstructs when turning and the steering wheel does not tip down enough and the backing up visibility is harder because of the back window frame position This is not very much when yu consider all of the advantages and the fun of the drive also I have disablilites getting in other cars so this has been great ( I had a grand am before ) This is also a selling point
