Love My Vibe! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By jackiepow - September 14 - 10:56 amThis was the first Pontiac that I ever owned, so I was a little apprehensive to look at them in the beginning. However, once I got inside at the dealership, I knew this was the car for me. I am 52" and this car fits me like a glove (it also fits my 61" husband). The manual height adjustment for the seats is really what sold me. It gets fantastic gas mileage, handles wonderfully, and its really quite roomy. I can see out of all of the windows and always feel safe.

The perfect car! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Mark - August 27 - 10:23 amI bought my first Vibe when they first came out in 2002 and after 36000 miles it has been flawless. Last year when my wife needed a car, we carefully considered Camry, Accord, Mazda 6 and Jetta but endded up getting another Vibe. Im perplexed by Edmunds luke warm review, while Jetta gets a glowing review?? The Jettas interrior and trunk is cramped compared to the Vibe, and the Vibe has better steering response and a far better base engine (I didnt want turbocharged). Edmunds says the Vibe is not "sporty", but I find it nimble and crisp, on par with import sport coups. The larger Camry and even Accord is not as nimble, but the Vibe has just as much interrior room.

Great Car! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Melissa - July 27 - 5:30 amFun to drive and very practical. I wasnt wanting to pay $30,000+ for a full size SUV - this fuel efficient car makes for plenty of space. Feels very safe and solid.

Fun multipurpose compact - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Lewis G. - July 20 - 9:36 pmThis car has performed better than expected. A peppy 4-cylinder with excellent handling. Well-build interior and comfortable seating. Good gas mileage (about 31 hwy. / 27 city), but less than advertised (35 hwy. / 31 city). Roof racks and hitch (added on) makes it a good transportation choice for most recreational activities such as camping, kayaking and cycling. With the exception of a rubber window liner that was replaced under warranty, the car has had no problems at all.

Love both of them - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Tony O - March 23 - 4:20 pmWife bought first one in 05 new. Liked it enough bought a second one, used, in 09. The used one cost as much as the new one. Hers now has 50K, mine is 73K. Only repairs to either was a warranty replacement of power brake booster at 2K, and a set of tires at 30K, debris from road construction. Have topped 36.5 mpg on I-77, and normally get 29-30 mpg in town. Only complaints are the location of the radio antenna and that it is hard to read the instruments during the day. I use the cruise a lot, because it likes to run fast. Had it up to 94 once to keep up with traffic, and still had plenty of pedal left. I think it could easily top 110. Very stable at all speeds.

My 2005 Pontiac Vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Sondra Coble - January 29 - 2:10 amI love my 2005 Pontiac Vibe. It has lots of get up and go when I need it like coming from a exit ramp onto a highway. It handles really well and I just love driving it. I have 8 grandchildren and it is especially nice when I have small grandkids in the back. It has the child safety locks as well as window locks. I have piece of mind knowing they can not open a window or door while Im driving down the road. It is also very spacious and roomy in the back seat. I was amazed when I finally rode back there. Im 53 years old and its one of the best investments I have ever made.

Room to Spare-Love it! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Laura Ogren - December 28 - 7:16 pmI love my Vibe. The drop down seat and cargo capacity is wonderful and leaves people asking "What kind of car it this?" It handled extremely well last year in the Denver snowstorms and never got stuck. The fuel economy is great - I am getting about 32 miles per gallon highway. The overdrive is also great and the car is comfortable.

awsome car! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By missina - December 23 - 10:13 pmI was looking at the 06 vibe and found that I could get more for my money by getting an 05 even if it was used. This car drives wonderfully for me, although my only thing aganst it is that part of the roof rack was stolen off my car and it was way to easy for the person to take it (all they needed was a flat head screw driver) and now I cant find the part to replace it and the dealership said that we can "talk" about it.

excellent vehicle - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By natcat - December 13 - 10:00 amI just bought my 2004 Pontiac Vibe in Lava Red. It is a 4 speed automatic. great car. the one think that made me upset is that when i first decided on going thru with itm i said i wanted a 6 disc changer. well they said the one i bought had one and when i tried it out, it didnt. well it turns out they are going to replace it for me. I like the interior the best. if it had a 6 cylinder i would be happier. thats my review. i give it 5 stars for excellence!

GREAT - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By fluter - December 13 - 10:00 amI loved my vibe and I hate I had to trade it in, but the dealership wouldnt work with me on getting an automatic. I have a left foot problem, and needed to quit shifting, but Im not giving up yet. The dealership I bought it off of is looking for a comparable substitute, Id be happy with another Vibe, as long as it is an automatic.I miss my Vibe!!!!I wish you could help me , but I guess youre not in a position to do that God Bless You for making my Vibe, it was ,and hopefully will be again.
