  Vibe was a great choice - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Ingress66 - August 9 - 10:00 am

  Ive only had the car for about 2 weeks, but so far I am very pleased with it . My only issue is that I wish the base model had a little more horse power , but it wasnt enough of an issue to make me choose a different car. I havent driven in the snow yet , but Im hoping it goes as well as my first few weeks. Ive already put 1200 miles on it !

  Excellent Vehicle - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Perry - July 16 - 10:43 pm

  We bought this on the GM Employee pricing plan. Couldnt beat the deal. It is a great car, reliable and fun to drive. Excellent gas mileage. Cant really think about anything bad to say other than it should come with a rear mat standard as groceries tend to slide around on the plastic rear floor. We bought 2 huge tote bags that have divided areas which really helped. Car has plenty of head room and is easy to get in and out of. It has tilt wheel but a telescoping steering wheel would be helpful. We are very happy with the Vibe.

  What a nice lil car... - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By ndrabble - July 9 - 10:33 pm

  In a nutshell, the Vibe has performed as well as I expected it to. Two years, 90K miles and no mechanical issues yet; however, the original Continental tires didnt make it pass 20K and the original paint job is the worst Ive ever experienced. But, the lil car is averaging about 34/35 mpg on the highway. The ride is not so bad, perhaps a lil loud and a lil slow on the initial pickup or for passing, but enough. Seats are firm and comfortable. And, Im sure I could mention lots of other things. Overall, I am pleased with it for what I bought it for: a comfortable, affordable, practical and easy on the gas lil commuting vehicle (I commute 150 a day)...

  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

  Great Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Z94 - June 27 - 10:00 am

  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.

  I like my Vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Jon Dixon - March 26 - 7:16 am

  I think your review is spot on. Its a good overall package of style economy vesatility and performance. I had to make a couple of quick maneavers to avoid trouble and handled confidently and stuck to the road. We didnt need a big SUV, but wanted to have some utiliy. A good balance.
