  • Love the VIBE! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    Fun to drive, great for hauling! Bought used, have had no problems with it. Will look for another, but very sad they are no longer making. :(

  • great fun - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    Read reviews before purchasing. The GT model has the extra horsepower to get up to highway speeds in a hurry. The six speed takes some getting used to, but it is fun to drive.

  • Just what I needed. - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    This car is perfect for the situation I faced in 2005. I got transferred to a new job 120 miles (round trip) from home. I knew my GMC pickup truck would not be affordable to drive that distance. So, I decided to buy the Vibe. It was just what I needed. I dont get the optimum gas mileage because I carpool with two other people. This extra weight does cut my mpg down to 27-28 mpg. Everyone who rides in the Vibe likes the ride. I plan to drive this vehicle until it gets too expensive to buy replacement parts. I think I am in a majority, I see more and more people driving Vibes every day.

  • Versatile, Economical, Fun! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    This is the first vehicle Ive owned that I like even more now than the day I bought it. Great gas mileage, fun to drive and plenty of cargo space. I have not experienced any problems or concerns with this car, and it has a very solid, well-built feel. I am very satisified with my Vibe and highly recommend it to others!

  • Very good value for the money - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    People like the design (including me). The instrumentation is well thought-out: easy to read and reach. The gas mileage is consistent and excellent. The use of space seems efficient. The interior is well planned and I can load a lot into it-- cargo as well as passengers (who are comfortable, they say). Handling is succinct and reliable. I travel a lot and can comfortably take everying I need for camping, cycling and any other activity I want to do.

  • My little suv - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I was looking for a suv type vehicle, and saw a vib on the pontiac dealership lot by accident. I loved the looks of it, and when I found out it was made with Toyota i bought it. I love this little car. It sits upright, plenty of room, and very little wind noise. I recently drove it from Arkansas to Birmingham, Alabama, and got around 34 to 35 mpg runny at 60 to 70 mph. I never had any problems passing by just using common sense. I was very pleased with everything about it. The one thing that I did notice that bothered me at first, was the first time I turned on the AC around town. I noticed the pull of it on the motor, but after I got used to it it was no big deal. Paid $16,400

    I love love love this car. This is by far the best auto purchase I have ever made. My husband and I both have one and love it. It is very reliable and nice on the pocket book. It is a little small if you have small kids with lots of stuff.

  • Nice ride! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I drive 110 miles a day to work enjoy the good gas mileage! Very nice riding car!

  • Flys like a butterfly stings like a bee - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

  • A good choice - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I just got my new Vibe after selling my Prizm. It is great! At this time with gas over $2, this was the only one that give reasonable mileage and the nice SUV feel. The Toyota engineering makes it an easy pick and this has the better styling than Matrix.Of course I got tons of incentives too, making it a bang for the buck. Lots of cool features. I love the cluster gauges and lighting. Really nice looking and practical interior. I cant really complain about the power because my prizm was about the same range. This seems to have good handling. Only concern I have at this time is - the suspension seems to be rigid. My Prizm handled bumps much much better. Overall, it makes you a proud owner!
