  • Thinking of buying one?......Buy it ! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This car is fantastic. I cant really say much more than that. I am averaging 24,000 miles per year and the gas mileage, comfort, and fun to drive factors are amazing. This car is very nimble in stock form and I have improved the suspension and added some engine power in order to be even more competitive in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Autocross Racing. All in all a fantastic vehicle....very happy with my purchase.

  • Love My Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Love my Vibe especially interior versatility (see "favorite feataures"). Very cool looking for a wagon and SUVish without the obnoxious size and gas consumption. I average 35 mpg!

  • My Vibe - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    The most fun to drive and most fuel efficent AWD vehicle I have ever driven.And it gets better gas mileage than the EPA rates, unlike those Hybrids that get closer to half what the EPA said.

  • Initial Impressions - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Have owned this car 3 months. Very satisfied with quality and economy. Only real complaint is the driver position is just a bit different and it is difficult to get used to. Arm rest could be a bit forward, which would help. Havent recorded gas mileage less than 26.5 MPG, which for short trips and automatic is GREAT. The relatively small engine (1.8L) has adequate power.

  • We Be Viben - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This vehicle is comfortable and fun to drive. We own a 2003 Vibe GT, that my husband drives, and I had to buy a second Vibe in order to get driving time! The interior has enough room for the 3 Greyhound dogs that we have.

  • Love it - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Bought this car new and have absolutely loved it - no problems except needing a relay switch replaced shortly after purchasing (fell under warranty and towing). Great space-amazingly roomy, good exterior design. Seats fold down for extra storage and plastic backs for easy cleaning. Higher ground clearance is also very nice. Great get up and go and excellent fuel mileage

  • Good Performance at Reasonable Cost - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    The Pontiac Vibe has very good performance for the cost. I drive a six speed GT version. It has amazing acceleration in passing situations. The loading area is very good. A very practical, performance option.

  • The Vibe is a Real Sleeper - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Im just beginning my fifth year driving this Vibe. Very satisfied overall. Very comfortable (doesnt feel like Im crouching in a "catchers position). Still 30 mpg. A bit noisy in cold weather start up until the engine warms. Surprising amount of pep cruising at highway speeds, but sluggish when merging onto a a freeway (thats the trade off one gets for the consistent 30 mpg fuel economy). Interior storage capacity is very adequate, and the seating/cargo configurations are very versatile. I change the oil/filter every 5K-7K miles and rotate the tires. I got 50K miles on the original set of Potenza tires, and bought the same tire as a replacement. A wise choice.

  • great for road trips - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Have owned my new 2004 Vibe for three months. Have driven it from California to Maryland in three days, and from Maryland to Georgia and back. Have driven in ice (no problem) and wind (gets blown around a little more than a civic but less than an SUV). Great for short trips with 4-5 people or long trips / lots of luggage with 2 people because the cargo area isnt all that big but the back seat folds completely flat to make a huge storage area. Very comfortable on long trips; plenty of room in the back seat, even for men. Driver sits relatively high, giving them a good view of the road. Quiet ride, road is easy to feel.
