    Fantastic in every way! Pontiac definitely has a winner here. Be sure to testdrive the Vibe before you make a car-buying decision. You wont be disappointed!

  • problems with storage compartment - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I traded a 2003 camry for the 2004 Vibe we love the car had no problems except for the storage compartment under the shifter. My wife does most of the driving - she 5 foot and I am over six foot. We drove to Las Vegas this fall and the trip was great. We can pack this car with all sorts of stuff and everything fits.

  • Great Used Value - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have had my Vibe since new and have 45,000 trouble free miles on it now. It is fun to drive and feels bigger than it is while driving. Made by Toyota it will undoubtedly have good reliability thru 150,000. That is my goal. 35mpg at 65mph is true. Only drawback is the rear window washer, its useless. But thats a small defect in a great car

  • Cant beat a 4 Cylinder - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    A 4 cylinder engine is not built for performance, but my baby still has the zip at a green light to get out ahead of the traffic. Highway driving requires the proper use of 4th gear, not sure if I would buy the automatic. So many features that have increased my enjoyment of camping, Cargo space, 110 volt plug in(for curling iron or blender), roof rack, plastic cargo w/ tie downs.

  • Excellent Value - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    We bought the Vibe a year ago, but waited until now for a review. The car is perfect! Wait, almost perfect: the side view mirrors could be a bit bigger. The car has AWD, Side Airbags, Moonroof and fancy radio - all the bells and whistles. And it didnt cost an arm and a leg. Seats are more comfortable than our Infiniti. This winter we outfitted the car with studded snow tires: were invincible in the snow! Would I buy another of these? In a heartbeat! But it will probably be a while because the car acts as though it will last forever. Want one? Theyre so reasonable, you might as well buy one new. Just a great car.

  • Best Car I Ever Owned - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This 2004 Vibe is the best car I have ever owned in terms of reliability. Six years, 63,000 miles, and never had any warranty work whatsoever! The brakes are still original, even with considerable stop and go driving. GM really blew it by dropping Pontiac and especially the Vibe. It has been a Consumer Reports Best Buy since its inception in 2003! Of all their bad decisions, this one ranks right at the top. We plan to keep this car forever. It tracks through our bad northern Ohio winters with no problem with the all wheel drive and still delivers 20 mpg in town and 28 on the highway. Why would I ever sell this car?

  • 2004 Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    We like the roomy interior, and the flexibility to set the seating in many different ways. We have the 17 inch tires and the handling is superb, however it does need more power. I understand a turbo is going to be available, this will help. A great car for the price.

  • Great vibes from my Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I drive 70 miles each day. I traded in my Corolla, because my back was killing me if I had to drive a long distance (2hrs or more). Now my back is grateful because the seats are very supportive and the ride is comfortable and quiet!(Driving the Corolla was like driving a beer can!) The Vibe is bigger, carries more stuff (so much so that my huband want his next car to be a Vibe instead of the small pick-up he was planning on getting. Thank you Pontiac for bringing back the pride in driving an American Car!

  • I Love My Vibe!!! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Purchased the Vibe in June of 2002. I love the sleek style. It is very affordable, and the gas mileage is great. We dont travel long distances often, but it is great for small trips. The electrical outlet is a wonderful feature with children. They can play their games without wearing down tons of batteries. My only complaint is the smell it makes when it is cold outside. It smells like rotten eggs, but once the engine heats up it goes away. We have had this checked, but there is no apparent problem. It only does this in the colder weather. Otherwise, it is a great car and I strongly recommend it!
