  • 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

    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

  • Great all around car. - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This is a great car! Not only does it look sharp, it drives as smooth as my last car;(a honda civic). They have a great selection of different colors. I got red lava. I get alot of complements on my car. The gas milage is pretty good too. It drives like a car but you sit up higher like in an suv. The only thing I would like changed is the windshield sun visor. The visor only comes down about 1/3 of the windshield. When I drive in the morning the sun comes strait in and I cant block out the sun. I just put my sun glasses on and Im ok. I have only had it for a short time, so we will see about the reliability later. Go test drive one Its fun to drive.

  • Tough to Beat - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    The nature of my work is driving. I drove more than most. Much more. My care turned 79K today, 18 months after my purchase. I keep trying to find a grass is greener on the other side car. Yes, an Audi and BMW certainly spell greater success to a prospect. A cady is certainly more luxurious, and a Subaru has a better ride. However, No other Auto provides the Stereo, gas mileage, handling, ease of operation, cheap to keep, sunroof, parking ease and ample room for five for a two hour drive than this car. Its so hard to beat and I have driven numerous. I keep trying to find better and simply havent been able to do it at this price point NOT CLOSE!!!

  • Vibe a good car for snow, ice . - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Excellent car in ice & snow. Goes if not high centered on drifts. Ability to put rear seats flat ideal for our big Bouveier dog. Lots of head room and width. Tie downs work well. 8 foot molding/trim can be carried with all windows closed. Viability good all around seat. Rear window defroster works well. Has features found on expensive cars. Provides good value for the money.
