  • Great Value - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I had an Olds Alero that gave me nothing but trouble (In the shop over 15 times in 3 years...all covered under warranty, but unaccepatble). I looked to the Toyota Matrix for quality, more room and better gas mileage. The fact the Vibe has a Toyota pedigree was the strongest selling point. I was primarily looking for the Matrix, but a pre-owned loaded Vibe with only 7000 miles came across me so I jumped at it. The cars design is top notch and the build quality impressive. It corners well and accerlartion is better than I thought it would be. You have to know going into buying that its not a hot rod, but there is plenty of power for everyday driving. Gas mileage is icing on the cake.

    My husband and I rented a Vibe around the 2nd week of Dec 2004. We loved it so much we bought one 2 weeks later! It is the best car Ive ever driven! Its stylish and fun to drive. I only wish it had a few more horses. Other than that its the perfect car! I definatly recommend it to anyone!

    My vibe is an all wheel drive and I love it! I didnt really know why my boyfriend insisted on the all wheel drive until this winter. My car handled better in the ice storm in Ohio than his 60,000 SUV!!

  • The Matrix only better - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I love my Vibe. You will not ever need another car. The folding seats make it the best ever and most versitile vehicle I have owned in 30 years. Fun to drive and the styling is wonderful. More features than the Matrix and more comfortable this vehicle is built by Toyota and is the same as the Matrix with better options. Great for families and my grandkids love it.

  • Zippy Vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I found the standard Vibe with automatic transmission to be very zippy around town as well as the freeway. City fuel milage varies from 24 to 29mpg depending on traffic and stop lights. I like the wide wheelbase and the way it hugs the road and the curves reminisant of the 60s, a Pontiac trait. Ilove this Vibe as it passes the gas stations, not like other vehicles that outweigh it and wastes fuel. The Vibe is an all around zippy fun vehicle; its the answer to todays gas prices. I look forward to driving the Vibe to Monterey, and up to Oregon, and Washington, i know it will get looks and stares, it always does.

  • diggin the vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have really enjoyed owning a my Vibe. I love the affordability and the versatility of it. Especially, for the limited driving I do. If I spent a great deal of time in the car, I probably would not have chosen the Vibe because it is underpowered. It has been a great car and completely reliable. I most definitely would recommend it and would likely buy one again. I would love to see it with a more powerful engine and am sorry to see that they have discontinued the AWD....which is sure footed here in Michigan. The best part is that it is an American nameplate with Japanese reliability.

  • Very Vibe Happy - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I am very happy after getting rid of my gas guzzling Isuzu Rodeo. Very roomy for all my camping/mountain biking gear. Comfortable for 4 adults if needed. Great mileage for such a roomy vehicle. Feels very solid. Winter diving performance remains to be seen. The GM incentives/pricing made this a no brainer.
