  • My Sons Funmobile - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I bought our Vibe as my teenage sons first car. Our family buys new cars and drives them for up to 10 years, so we thought getting him something new would be wise, especially at the price we paid. It satisfies both our needs for something small enough for him to handle, and his desire for something sporty, not to mention the hatch holds two hockey bags, or all his equipment plus an overnight bag for tournaments. Were very happy with it so far as an "in-town" car, and a couple of highway trips (200 mi. RT) have shown it to be peppy and comfortable for a small car. Sometimes Ill use it myself for errands around town.

  • Audi to Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Traded an Audi Quattro for this 2004 Vibe, best trade Ive ever made. The Audi was a well built vehicle, but not reliable and expensive to repair, and there were lots of repairs. The Vibe is reliable, excellent gas mileage, easy to drive and half the cost of the Audi. Will be getting another Vibe soon.

  • Good Value - but questions remain - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    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.

  • 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.

  • Great Cargo Area! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Bought this car for its resale value / reliability, gas mileage and cargo space. 100% satisfaction with these features. Bonus: we got rear-ended at 45 mph and walked away from the totaled vehicle without a scratch..... were going to buy another one.

  • Downsizing to a Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    A lot of utility & Ill never lose it in a parking lot (Fusion Orange Metallic). Cargo floor rattles sometimes. Great gas mileage (30.2 mpg for 1st 3600 miles) Wheel doesnt tilt enough & I cant move the seat closer w/o bumping my knee. It is a lot of fun & the moons & tunes pkg. is a kick; but I miss the power of my 2000 Intrigue.
