  Great car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Ken Horton - May 22 - 9:30 am

  manual transmission lets you drive for mileage: I consistently average above 36mpg. Large amount of interior space that is very flexible to configure with the 60/40 fold down seats. Rock solid reliability (its a Toyota). No repairs other than routine maintenance at 50K miles.

  A Huggable Little Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Jack McCormick - February 19 - 5:50 am

  A cute little car thats lots of fun to drive. Just the right size and the engine performance is better than what youve been told. It feels and looks like you got more quality than you paid for.

  05 vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Nick Davis - January 18 - 5:30 pm

  always seems to run and drive well, never any reliability concerns, I do have a rattle in the dash at less than 1 year old, and seems a little small at times. But I otherwise cant think of a more practical starter car for the small family.

  PCM - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By jk - December 6 - 2:00 am

  I had the Power control Module replaced in May 2010 and when I questioned the recall that just came out, I was advised that I should not have paid for the PCM since it was under a warranty put in place by the government and I received a full refund. Check into it if you have also had the PCM replaced and your Vibe is not over 8 years old

  slower but excellent value - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Bob - October 22 - 3:30 pm

  Our Vibe is a great value... storage, comfort, independent suspension creates competent ride and handling. All Wheel drive has proven itself in snow and wet weather. Unfortunate lack of torque and power, one time snow/ice packed into wheels and created a terrible wheel balancing problem. Any other compaints might include squeaky brakes when wet. Otherwise, a very dependable and long term quality car.

  Always there - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By bmore2rutgers - April 19 - 2:52 pm

  Im sad to say, that my Vibe AWD was totaled a few weeks ago when someone ran into me. The 2005 Vibe AWD was in my family since coming off the production line. We kept up with regular maintenance, and can only remember it being in the shop once for a rear output bearing leaking. The vehicle was great, and very very dependable(toyota powertrain). It lacked some pep when getting on the highway, but other than that handled great. I remember taking it through two foot of snow, and well... it made it without getting stuck. Ill miss the car. I most likely wont look to buy another one, because I felt the interior was put together a little cheaply.

  Vibe Owner - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Norm - January 29 - 6:03 am

  Very flexible design. Nice handling, reasonable ride for a small car. The engine is unusually noisy under acceleration. It could use a little more power, but the MPG is quite good. I found the seats a little too low, especially in the front. Some window tinting would be welcome. Side winds will move it around a bit more than I am used to. Overall, a fun car to drive.

  Mischievous car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Stina - January 5 - 7:33 pm

  This car is so fun to drive, my husband who has a car worth $10,000 more wants to drive it! It is great in fuel economy, plus has good pick-up for a 4 cyl. car. I would only say that the paint is not really up to par since the edges around my doors are chipping. Just get some paint to cover these and you will still love this car!
