  • Love my vibe! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    Just got my new Fusion Orange Vibe and I LOVE it. Almost bought at Matrix, dealer got a little nasty when we said we were going to look at the Vibe. Saw my baby on the Lot and I was hooked, got a great deal with the moons & toons and on-star package already in car. Didnt think I cared about the moon roof but now I love it. Smooth drive, seems to get great mileage, love the wide front window, great viewing area (compared to my old Jimmy). Just FUN to drive at 52 years old, feel like a kid with my first car!!

  • GREAT CAR - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This is a great car for the money and because my husband is a car sales man and I could have almost any car I want and I chose this one says it all. Great car for a family, lots of room - I put a computer (still in box) right in the back no trouble, did not even have to lay the seats down. Excellent power for not having any bigger motor then it has. This car also handles curves wonderfully. I drive fast around them so I should know.

  • Near perfect vehicle - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This is a near perfect vehicle in my opinion..Good on gas, seats 4 comfortably, carries a fair amount of cargo, can get out of its own way, looks modern and reasonably priced. I drive double the average each year and so far I have found this car to be very fun to drive. Get the 7 speaker stereo system and moon roof if you can find it...well worth the price.

  • Even better than I thought - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    My previous car has been dying for the last few months and finally kicked the bucket this week. I have been researching cars for hours a day during the last few weeks and had trouble committing to something. Im the kind of person who wants everything. I wanted an SUV for the capacity. I have two dogs that I drive and need my car to move. Im on the road a lot. I also needed something that would be good on gas. I wanted a new car but those were too much for me right now. So I bought this used car with only 8,000 miles on it. Practically new. I love this car more than I would have thought. It looks great, drives great.

  • Solid, Reliable, Affordable - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Weve had our Vibe for 5 years, and my wife drives it primarily around to & from work. The AWD is marvelous in the winter on packed snow & ice; much better than simply a front wheel drive vehicle. Mechanically, its solid. Interior is adequate for 4 adults, or 2 adults & 3 kids. Im 62" and I have plenty of headroom and leg room. The 4 cylinder engine has to work going up hills when in cruise, but the transmission shifts down and maintains speed. Still, I cant complain when we still get 25-28 mpg on the road with an AWD. Its a great package for the price, especially if you do winter driving.

  • Fun car! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I purchased my brand new 05 Vibe about a week ago. I was looking for a "family car" that had plenty of room, a great safety review, and a reliable build. The Vibe has all that, and is also a blast to drive. Its utilitarian.. theres plenty of room for all your stuff, and the rear seats fold down to give you a huge amount of cargo room. Its also a gas sipper, mine gets about 29/34 mpg on regular gas.. a plus with the insane fuel prices right now. It also features a Toyota engine and drivetrain. Much of the car is designed by Toyota, and it shares many parts with its "sister" auto, the Toyota Matrix. There were a lot of nice options included for the price too, it was a great overall value.

  • 2005 VIBE - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Fun car and economical. I traded a full size Dodge club cab to save on gas. The vibe gets over three times the milage of my old truck. It has plenty of power for everyday driving and some fun too. The shifter is a little stiff and it goes into 2nd and 3rd gear somewhat hard. Quick shifts occasionally end up in gear grinding. The vibe will save you money over the matrix with dealer incentives that toyota does not offer. Plus its styling is better that the matrixs.

  • Great First Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    My parents bought me a Pontiac Vibe as my first car. Ive been driving it for about a year now and I must say that I love it. Its very safe and really easy to handle. Its a very zippy car and parking is a breeze with it. I highly reccommend the Vibe if you want a quality car thats both economnical and hip.
