  • A surprisingly good family car - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Absolutely love this car. This is our primary family vehicle for a family of four and a labrador retriever. The Vibe is a comfortable car to drive and be a passenger in. I am surprised by the amount of backseat room in this car. This car is getting about 35 mpg on the highway, if not more, and it only costs about $40 a week in gas, driving 24000 km a year. Easy to get around the city in and a breeze to park. I would buy another one for sure, cant wait for the 2009 model.

  • Love the car, but hate the interior!! - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I love the vibe, but I always get shocked by the interior everytime I exit the car. And it is very rough! The gas mileage is excellent! I have no idea why but we just had to replace the computer because our check engine light was coming on and they said when it shows the code it was showing, GM said to replace the computer, so were hoping thats not an on going problem. The brakes do squeak, but not all the time. Over all the vibe is a fun car to own!

  • Great car - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Ironically I was looking at the Matrix as my final choice. I play the drums so hauling my kit was a big factor. When I saw the room with the seats down I was most impressed. Ive put 25,000 miles on and have no complaints, in fact when I told the service mgr I was looking at a Toyota he said" Well this IS a matrix with a Vibe body. Im getting between 33 and 36 mpg consistently in combo driving.

  • Great little car - 2007 Pontiac Vibe

    This is an all around great car, plenty of room inside, 29.5 mpg overall, 33 on the highway.

  • Reliable transportation - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I bought this car with 11,000 miles on it. I enjoy driving the car and like the good 35-40 mpg I am getting on the freeway. However, I do find the driver seat to be a bit uncomfortable on longer drives. I have had two service calls, one for a leaky front wind sheild and another for some weatherstrips that came loose on the passenger side window. No problems with anything mechanical. I would recommend this car for anyone seeking good mpg and a reliable car. Open the hood and you will see that pretty much everything has Toyota Motor corp on it. Get Toyota reliability for American prices!

  • Gas Mileage! - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Great car overall. Looked for about a year. Just had a baby so needed something 4 door with room and great gas mileage. Did not want a minivan. Only have 2k miles on it, so far no problems other than a slight rattle on the dash from plastic piece vibrating loose? Hence the 7 on build quality. Hesitant to buy Pontiac, my dad was a Grand Am fanatic and they always had problems, dont know why he kept buying them. Found out it was basically a Toyota Matrix and I was sold. Like the sportier look of the Pontiac, better warranty also.

  • A fun car to drive - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have owned many cars in my fifty years of driving and I rate the Vibe close to the top of them. It is a fun car to drive, handles great, looks good, economical to operate and very versatile to haul stuff with. I plan on keeping this one a while.

  • No wonder Pontiac is in trouble - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    We bought this car in January and put alot of miles on it, so far 21,000. We have had 3 sets of tires due to cupping. Pontiac did cover the cost but faught us on finding the cause. The result was the rear alighnment was out by 1.5 degrees. Tires cupped in 3,000 miles. Fit and finish wehn delivered was bad also. Then the icing on the cake... We had a passenger side floor that was flooded. And what did Pontiac say? It was normal to have some water enter the passenger compartment when going through a car wash with high p.s.i. water or heavy rain! I could not believe they said it was a normal occurance. They offered no fix, we are getting rid of this car and going back to Toyota!

  • Sweet Ride - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I bought this Pontiac Vibe used with 48,000 miles on it, and purchased an additional 48 month/50,000 mile bumper to bumper coverage warranty from my Toyota dealer. I average 27 MPG mostly highway miles, but would probably get better mileage if I did not keep the speedo at 80 miles per hour. I love the ride after driving a jittery midsize pickup truck for 6 years. I have owned cars from just about every company out there, and I can honestly say I have never been more pleased after 5000 miles of driving. This car meets all of my driving needs and then some. The fit and finish on this 48,000 mile car are still as new. I love it.

  • The Vibe is a nice car for retired folks - 2007 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have about 3200 miles driven and am well pleased with the vehicle. I researched and test drove many vehicles. This car met the needs of our family. My wife and I are recently retired and went down to only one car. The Vibe gives us a roomy interior for carring home groceries and for hauling materials for my home inprovement projects. The gas mileage is pretty much on target. I do lose about 2.5 MPG when I use the air and also when the air temp. drops below freezing. The head room is amazing, I am 6-3" and even with a sun roof there is more than I need. Leg and hip room are also quite adequate.The Vibe seem to handle very well and the engine is responsive. The style is also great.
