  • Vibe Rant - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    With a monotone black body (the car - not me), moon roof, and power package, this car can turn heads! I love the retro look of the interior (i.e., love the circular vents and chrome display). What a fun car to drive! The interior is also surprisingly practical and spacious. You also cannot go wrong at 33mpg on the highway. This car also won a 5 Star Rating in its weight class during front end collision tests.

    I purchased my Vibe when I was searching for an economical car with lots of cargo space. The Vibe is perfect. It is a great 4-5 passenger car that converts to a practical station wagon. My vibe has gone thousands of miles carrying show dogs to competitions. It has transported cargo as large as a screen door for my house, furniture and bales of hay. After nearly 38,000 miles of in town and highway driving I still have never had a single problem with my Vibe. My best MPG was 37, but normally I get around 32-33 MPG on the highway. Cant say enough good things about this car. I just love it. It is so well thought out. Thanks Pontiac!

    The Vibe handles well, gets great gas mileage, is sporty yet has enough passenger and cargo space to move pretty much anything you want. Its comfortable and has lots of storage compartments.

  • VERY NICE DRIVE - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    HIGHWAY RIDE IN VERY NICE. CRUISES AT 80+ VERY COMFORTABLY. AERODYNMAMICS MAKE IT EXCEPTIONALLY STABLE IN STRONG CROSSWINDS FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT CAR. HANDLES NICELY....FLAT IN TURNS. SOMETIMES YOU WISH ACCELERATION FROM 40 TO 60 MPH WAS STRONGER, BUT 30+ MPG IN SUBURB DRIVING IS WELCOME WITH HIGH GAS$$. LOVE SPLIT FOLD-DOWN REAR SEAT AND HARD FLOORING. HANDLES 5 BODIES AMAZINGLY WELL WITH REARSEAT UP. HEADROOM IS GOOD, ESPECIALLY IN REARSEATS!

  • Problematic car - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Unfortunately, this car has been very problematic for me. Water leaks, Air Conditioner problems (noise and smell), many different rattles and squeaks in the car, damaged roof rack, missing some finishing details from the factory, like door stops. Car wouldnt start the other day. Ive only had the car for 6 months and bought it brand new. What made my problems worse were the poor GM service reps. One rep damaged the roof rack and interior when attempting to fix my problems. Other dealers simply were not interested in trying to fix my cars problems, even when the problems could be reproduced in front of the service reps eyes. Wishing I didnt buy this car....

  • Drives and survives (Not AWD, base automatic trans) - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    As a delivery driver for a certain "freaky fast" sandwich shop, this car is perfect. Tons of room in the back with the seats down, oodles of gas mileage, its an all around great car for my job. Now, Im 20, so naturally Im gonna drive this car pretty hard. The car does kind of slug through first gear, but after that it takes off like a rocket. I often forget its just a little 1.8L. Ive had no major repairs at 104k, bought at 90k. Only really "major" things Ive HAD to do are transmission fluid/filter. Other than that, this cars a little champ. Has a nice engine noise for being a 4cyl, nice torque, good suspension and cornering. Definitely a head turner when folks see its just a Vibe.

  • fun car - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    We bought the Vibe as a company car. We needed a reliable vehicle with great gas mileage and lots of room to haul stuff. Its been great. When we got 39 mpg on the road last month driving between jobs we were thrilled down to the wallet. Its been a great car.
