  • This is the most fun car Ive ever had! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have had my Vibe for about 9 months now. My gas mileage is great and I havent had to do anything but change the oil. It handles very well and everything works very smoothly. I feel like it is very quick for a 4 cylinder. I also like the higher seating position. I can fit a lot of cargo in the back with the seats folded down. I love the look of the dash and interior. The exterior styling is great also. I have gotten compliments on my car at the drive up at the bank, car wash, etc. All in all, this is a very cool versatile vehicle.

    I just got my Vibe about 2 weeks ago and it is a dream! It is a 2005 and is pretty loaded. I got the monochrome color package in the Fusion color scheme. It looks awesome and turns a lot of heads.

    Sold my Firebird and bought my Vibe because of a knee problem. This little Wagon performs to the max on these hills of North Alabama. It is great to drive..very responsive. Gas mileage is great. I love the body style and everything about it!! Other than that, I wouldnt change a thing! Its the most FUN car Ive ever owned and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Its easy to park and performs beautifully in rainy weather. I LOVE IT!!! Will probably buy another one when this one wears out!!

    This is my second Vibe. I upgraded to the GT because I wanted more power and versatility with 6 speeds. I was not disappointed. I am getting 35+ mpg hwy, and about 30 in the city, which greatly exceeds my expectations (and EPA ratings). What a great car, and fun to drive!

  • Oh what Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This is the second vibe we have owned, we had a 2004 vibe and had traded in on a honda civic hybrid that was a mistake . We bought the awd in august and really enjoy driving it. Plenty of space to haul anything like a mountain bike or a power washer with room to spare. The earlier vibe had a problem with storage under the shifter staying closed. We intend to keep this one I hope subaru takes note their vehicles are getting to expensive for the average family to afford.

  • Blue Vibe base fwd auto power package - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I have only had the car for two weeks but I am very pleased. Like sitting up higher than a normal car. Good interior space and hatch glass that opens separately is handy. Nice that the passenger seat folds down so kids son can get a nice view of the road. Love the dash. Provides all the information you need and its just plain cool. Gas mileage is excellent and I like the gearing. At 100 km per hr (60 mph US) only reving at 2500 rpms. Great little family wagan with a sporty twist no regrets with my purchase.

  • One of the Best Decisions Ive made!!! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Ive had this car for three months now and I am completely statisfied with it so far. It drives nice, accelerates adqeuately, stops confidentally, and most importantly (for me) pulls through the snow with no problem. My steep, snow covered driveway is a problem no more. Also I love the fact that it is pratically a Toyota in GM clothing.

  • Great Car!!!!! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I use this website alot when purchasing used cars, so I thought I should contriburte. We purchased our 05 Vibe in July of 09 with 100,000 miles and have absolutely loved it! Unfortunately we got in an accident and the car was totaled. Definitely looking for another. The transmission was auto.

  • Great car for the money - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    The 05 Vibe is an excellent car to drive. The vvt-i engine is very responsive even at lower rpms. You dont have to sacrifice gas milage like you would with a Vibe GT. This one has all the power you need. I prefer the five speed over the six speed transmission also. It shifts without the knotchy feeling of the six speed I drove (03). The interior is spacious and comfortable with plenty of cargo room. The back seats fold down flat unlike some hatchbacks. Tie straps are included to help hold cargo on the slick plastic surfaces. The exterior design of the Vibe is streamline and sporty. A worth while option is the appearance package which includes color keyed bumpers and fog lights.
