  this is a keeper! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Shirley B - July 6 - 1:36 am

  Love this Vibe. The arrangement of the drivers seat is first time I have sat comfortably to drive. no leg fatigue. It handles wonderfully, and has plenty of pickup and go for me! I drive in excess of 65 miles each day, mostly freeway and my gas consumption is an average of 34 mpg. Mostly it is closer to 35mpg. I cant help but wonder why they are not advertised more. (but then, I found mine from just seeing an associates new purchase in the parking lot.) The only thing I might change is in the area of the arm rest console. It sets just a little too far back to be convenient for me. I am totally satisfied with this purchase. I plan to keep it a long time. Very impressive little vehicle

  Neat car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By James - June 30 - 11:26 pm

  The only trouble we initially had were small rattles coming from the tailgate area. Turned out to be tailgate and hatch glass struts

  I have two Pontiac Vibes. I have a 2004 and a 2005. It all started when we got the 04 for my wife. I liked it so much I bought a 2005. The mileage is fantastic on both, They are both FWD only.

  119,000 and still going strong - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By 2005vibeFWD5spd - June 20 - 12:13 am

  bought base model 5 spd MT new in 9-04. 30 mpg,city/hwy. as high as 34 mpg hwy. factory tires fine in dry/rain. useless in 1" snow. bought 4 snow tires. MUCH better. goes through several inches of snow. if it gets 12" deep, FORGET IT. (fwd model) only problems, fuel pump at 60,000 and intermittent hard starting when engine is still warm. wait 20 seconds with key still on and try again. may take 2 or 3 attempts. may idle rough for several seconds. i use my gears for braking when possible. still have factory brakes at 119,000. all in all, car is great! runs smooth and no leaks, overheating, ect. handling is great and it fits in small parking spots.

  Great Value - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By 2005Vibe - May 25 - 12:26 am

  I purchased the 05 Vibe loaded w/auto trans. I looked @ all the cars in this class including Matrix. For those of you who do not know, the Vibe has a the same Toyota engine & drive train the Matrix has. It was a joint venture between Pontiac & Toyota. You can buy the Vibe a lot cheaper than the Matrix. I average 32.8 MPG city/hwy. Try it, Youll like it! I do. No Complaints.

  12,000 mile review - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By fladad - March 1 - 5:30 am

  I have had my Vibe since OCT and now have 12000 miles. Not one mechanical problem yet. The upgraded stereo-Moons and Tunes-sounds great. The car is nimble and quick for only 130hp. At 65- 70mph I get a true 34mpg with auto transmission. It feels bigger when inside than it really is. Unless you have GM card points and OLDs loyalty rebate, it makes more sense to buy a used one with 10-12k miles for about 12- 13000 dollars.

  Vibe Review - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Bob - December 6 - 5:26 pm

  Im still liking my 05 Vibe. Since gasoline is nearing $3/gallon in my area, the economy of the car is the main attraction. Still, I like the exterior styling very much and the interior is modern, too. The handling is better than I expected and the car is perfect for those suburban errands. Ive driven it on the highway and it is relatively quiet below 70 mph. I easily bettered the EPA highway estimates by simply accelerating a little less aggressively. The fact that its built by an American manufacturer makes me feel better. I still turn around and look at it when I get out.

  I was Wowwed! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

  Love it!! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By toadster - September 24 - 2:06 am

  I bought the Vibe just before Thanksgiving and have put 400 miles on it. Was looking for a car thats practical, reliable, and economical to replace my 1992 Sentra. The Vibe fit the bill perfectly. The only options I wanted were automatic transmission, monochrome package, and power windows/locks. Since all of the mechanicals are Toyota, reliability should be great. Lots of headroom, legroom (for a small car), and storage. High seats make it easy to get in and out. The drive is smooth and quiet once up to speed. Engine is "buzzy" under acceleration but the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. Body style is sporty and the new nose keeps it from looking like a small Aztec.
