  Vibe 05 - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Gary - March 27 - 2:56 am

  On the good side, robust for a 4- cylinder, SUV-like roominess with seats down, mileage great @ 55-60mph, not so good averaging 70mph as could be expected. On the bad side, rough downshift when braking downhill, annoying seatbelt reminder, headlights that cant make up their mind at dawn and dusk. Overall a very sound car.

  Good ergonomics - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Rob - March 25 - 2:10 pm

  I originally wanted to replace my 85 Voyager with a new minivan but I would have to spend an additional five grand to own a van vs a Vibe. I drove past a local dealer and took one home to show the family. My wife and two boys climbed in and were surprised at the amount of room inside this neat car.The first thing you notice is that you sit up high giving you fantastic visibility, as well as great ease of entry and exit.The 1.8 liter motor has plenty of power and zips through traffic just fine. It is also amazing how much you can fit inside, fold the seats down all the way,or half way, you can load up for a craft show or major grocery shopping. This is a small car with a big attitude, get one.

  Cheap and cheery - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Avid Napper - March 14 - 11:30 pm

  I needed to economize and fast, so traded in my 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT with AWD for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with AWD. While I miss the pickup and heft of the Magnum, I certainly dont miss the frequent trips to the gas station. Plus, the Vibe hugs the road and is surprisingly peppy for a car that gets great mileage (well, compared to the PT Cruiser I had before the Magnum, which didnt get such great mileage, come to think of it). While I was afraid I was going to resent driving around in an economy- mobile (and honestly, I will wish Pontiac offered heated seats when winter returns), Im quite pleased with it. And my partner, a snob where American cars are concerned, enjoys driving it too.
