Pontiac Vibe FWD - Auto - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By SteveinNY - February 1 - 10:00 amA perfect suburban commuter. Excellent seating for 4 adults in an upright (back friendly) position. The build quality on my vehicle is supurb...no defects after 8K miles other than a storage compartment latch. Drive train is smooth and the shifting precise. Gas mileage is 32mgp in suburban driving more on the highway. The car is solid all the way around and handles well in all driving conditions.

Well designed, well made, great mileage - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Rod in Portland, OR - January 9 - 12:43 amIt took two months, but I researched and drove every car in this class. Selected base-model because it is best all-around fit for me. Toyota Matrix was second (identical mechanicals. Vibe is exported to Japan as a Toyota.) Car had to be less than 175 inches long because of short garage. Vibe is 171. Very practical, fun, versatile car. Very easy to drive. Ive used it on trips to Seattle and the Oregon Coast, around town, and for hauling stuff including 8-ft 2X6s. I keep meticulous expense records. 32.6 overall mpg to date (city/highway). Best ever was 39.3 freeway mpg @ approx. 75 mph with air conditioning on. Glad to have automatic driving lights in this rainy climate.

best vehicle I ever owned - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By automatic - December 23 - 11:53 amvery comfortable. very easy to manuever. the gas mileage is constant at 33 to 35mpg. Always looks great. Plenty of cargo space, easy to put the back seats down to maximize the room available for cargo. sound system is very good. Love the angle of the passenger dash placement of the air bag. is not set to hurt passenger, but too cover the windsheild, and minimize possibilty of severe trauma. My only complaint is I dont love the arm rest and places for drinks etc. you need to grope to locate. all in all, I plan to keep it as long as I possibly can. It would be hard to duplicate the good features.

Thoughts after a year of ownership - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Tim Dodge - December 15 - 6:50 amI admit I was a little uneasy at first downsizing from our large sedan to a compact auto but rising fuel costs and poor reliability of the sedan forced our hand. Well any misgivings have vanished. WE LOVE THIS MACHINE! Great handling (love the AWD in our snowy NY winters), good gas mileage for a AWD (average of 31 with the top mileage @ 36 on the open road, around 26-28 intown) and most of all flawless reliability of this sistership to the Toyota Matrix. Although the ride is a little bumpy compared to the pillowy ride of our sedan it is amazing how we can drive this car 14 hours to the Myrtle beach without tiring. The car is sufficiently peppy in power although dont challenge any Hemis!

I Think Im in Love - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By jessica - November 2 - 10:10 amIt is awesome!! It is so fun and cute! At first I wasnt too crazy about the looks of it. But, we test drove and looked at everything. This was just more practical! I love furniture and this car is just as roomy as a little truck when it comes to hauling stuff home. I am 53 and it fits me to a tee, my hubby is 61 and he Loves it! Gas mileage is great now that is is $4 a gallon. It is fun to drive and roomy, the back seat can comfortably seat 2 adults. I love this car, I call it my little go-cart, the motor is a little loud and the steering wheel gives it the sporty feel, it is so fun!

I Feel Like A Kid Again! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Lorelei J. Bell - October 5 - 4:10 pmI love my Vibe! Its hip, cool, socially responsible, very usable, easy to handle and park, quick, and makes me proud to own it. Here in Michigan, a great car must get great traction in ice and snow. My Vibe does! Our summers are long and beautiful; a prolonged heat wave is not uncommon. My Vibes A/C unit pumps out gobs of super cool air even when its 95F w/95% humidity. I opted for the Moons & Tunes package, with a great moonroof and a surprisingly powerful concert quality AM/FM/CD stereo that cranks! Its safe with belts, airbags, 4 pillar side panels, & excellent visibility/maneuverability. Its interior is so flexible; I can carry almost anything. My Vibe makes me feel like a kid again!

Fantastic Fusion - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By David - September 3 - 3:06 pm2004 Fusion Vibe. Fusion color receives tons of double takes. Purchased with some anticipation, but could not be happier with my decision. Exterior size was a concern, but there is an abundance of interior space. I love this car. Purchased with 17 inch wheels and rims, but considering chrome rims soon to make the total package just "Pop"!

Pontiac Vibe Rating - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Sally Lucas - August 9 - 10:00 amLooking for a car 4 door to hold at least 5 comfortable, and also with a back end or truck to handle a good amount of baggage. Didnt want SUV or minivan. This is a perfect cross between. The roominess is great! Gas mileage even better. Performance superb as well.
