  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.

  Tin Foil Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Matt - January 22 - 4:33 am

  This car is a basic to and from work car. Front fenders are thinner than the Lunar Landers. Interior is cheap, cheap, cheap. Visor mirror has closing lid on driver side only? Scared to death of being hit in this car at any speed.Cannot shut off auto headlights.Undercoat on car has to be re - applied due to poor quality control. Passenger seat too low. No power seats available.

  Oil Leaker - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Glenn Koll - January 19 - 6:20 pm

  Could be a nice economical vehicle. Reliability & depentability awful. Purchased in 12/2004 in shop four times for the same OIL LEAK. We only have 1350 miles on vehicle. Dealrship can not guarantee vehicle is repaired. GM will not honor Lemon Law. Being given the run around as dealer will write up the same repair different ways. Forced to contact product liability attorneys. As a loyal GM customer to sum this up in one word Disappointing. Will no longer purchase GM vehicles.

  Pontiac Vibe, a good fuel-economy car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Kristin - December 28 - 8:26 pm

  This car really surprised me. I loved the design but was weary of how the performance was going to be. When I got in the car to my surprise the little 4 cylinder engine really has some spark to it and allows for good acceleration. The car is light and this makes the body and the engine fit perfectly and the fuel-economy is way above what I was used to. The interior is of course not as roomy as I would have liked it to be, but the hatch back has a lot of room and the seats will fold down to make a great deal of room which was excellent when I was moving stuff to another city. The interior is also very sporty and the seats comfortable. On the negative, the silver exterior paint chips easily.

  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.

  poor fuel economy - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By brian - October 28 - 12:33 pm

  This vehicle is poor in the snow.Fuel economy is 20-25 mpg max,dont try to pass a car at hwy speed on two lane rd or you might be dead!!! If you are looking for fuel economy and a good car in snowy areas this is not your your car.

  Vibe has pluses and a couple of needs - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Vibe Owner N - October 1 - 11:36 pm

  The only difficult thing about the car is that it is hard to see out when looking towards the rear or the sides.The window configuration could be better to fix this problem.The fold down seats are excellent.It would be nice if it had a bit quieter ride.

  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.
