  • Fun car...quality build - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Only 500 miles, but already I love it. Easy to get in and out of. Moonroof and tunes package is great. Corners well, and ABS brakes. Trunk area is easy to access with no lip to lift over. Day time running lights and automatic headlights. All of this with a Toyota engine and transmission.

    The lease on my 2001 Nissan Sentra SE was up and I wanted a car that was fun to drive, look at, and also reliable. I wanted an SUV but I felt as though I was driving a truck in most of them. I then saw how many types of these "mini SUV/wagon" things were out. I narrowed my choices down to the Toyota Matrix (not enough pep, and too noisy, looks kinda cheap next to my vibe) & mazda 3 5 dr. (not really a good lease deal). I was about to give up on finding a car I loved when I decided to pull into Pontiac. I saw the VIBE in the show room, test drove it, and bought it that same day! Everyone at the college I attend has given me compliments. The vibe is so fun to drive and look at, perfect car!

    Ive had my Vibe for about six months now, and loved every minute of it! I have three dogs, and love to hike and camp, and the Vibe is perfect! Lots of space, easy to clean up, and fun to drive! Great gas mileage from the car makes the 30 minute commute to and from work less stressful, and the interior design makes any trip a joy. Im not worried about my family growing, either, seeing as how every part of the vehicle is easily accesible and easy to clean. I might make my next vehicle a Vibe (with a manual transmission this time

  • Great Value - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    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.
