  VIBErations - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Vibe Viewer - August 22 - 2:56 am

  From the first time I drove my Vibe, I was completely satisfied with ALMOST every detail. The only exceptions would be the compromised visibility due to the wide plastic rear window supports and the cramped control panel when the gear shift is in park. The gas cap release lever could be a bit larger. I am a heavy man but the seats and leg room are still extremely comfortable. The gas mileage is about 30 mpg, even with the a/c. The car is tight (no squeaks) and the ride is excellent for almost any size vehicle. The price was excellent considering the many factory-installed options. Well done, GM!

  Great Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By tammy656 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I had been researching cars for a few months.....I kept going back to the Vibe!! I test drove a few other suvs and wagons, buth this one had exactly what I wanted; affordable, sunroof, good gas mileage, 4 doors and plenty of room!! Well I was hooked and my kids loved it to. My Kids loved the stereo and the moonroof. So I decided to buy the Vibe. Well I got all that I wanted and more. I have 3 kids and they are comfortable sitting in the back and We have plenty of room for groceries and what ever else we need, I get 300 miles to a tank of gas, moonroof is awesome, drives great in rain...which we had alot of so far this year, what else could I want.

  Wheres the Silver color - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Vibester - June 15 - 10:00 am

  Our 2004 vibe is great. The 2005 pictures are in the Silver/Satellite color, but from what I can find, that color isnt on the 2005. Anyone else found that. They change the front, raise the price, photograph it in silver and then delete silver as a choice?

  By Gilbert Fuller - June 15 - 10:00 am

  My Vibe has to be the best investment I have ever made in a vehicle. I cannot say enough about this car. I have not had to take it to the dealership for any repairs or adjustments. It just performs beautifully.

  buy one of these!!! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Driz - May 7 - 8:56 pm

  I love my vibe! After driving a variety of vehicles from SUVs to compacts the vibe is the best of both worlds. The fuel economy of a compact and the interior room of a small SUV, not to mention the feeling of sitting higer than any car I have ever driven. The vibe is fun sporty and on average $1500-2000 less than his Toyota brother. Top that off with the availability of On-Star and you have a real winner in this zippy wagon.

  Well designed, well made, great mileage - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Rod in Portland, OR - January 9 - 12:43 am

  It took two months, but I researched and drove every car in this class. Selected base-model because it is best all-around fit for me. Toyota Matrix was second (identical mechanicals. Vibe is exported to Japan as a Toyota.) Car had to be less than 175 inches long because of short garage. Vibe is 171. Very practical, fun, versatile car. Very easy to drive. Ive used it on trips to Seattle and the Oregon Coast, around town, and for hauling stuff including 8-ft 2X6s. I keep meticulous expense records. 32.6 overall mpg to date (city/highway). Best ever was 39.3 freeway mpg @ approx. 75 mph with air conditioning on. Glad to have automatic driving lights in this rainy climate.

  best vehicle I ever owned - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By automatic - December 23 - 11:53 am

  very comfortable. very easy to manuever. the gas mileage is constant at 33 to 35mpg. Always looks great. Plenty of cargo space, easy to put the back seats down to maximize the room available for cargo. sound system is very good. Love the angle of the passenger dash placement of the air bag. is not set to hurt passenger, but too cover the windsheild, and minimize possibilty of severe trauma. My only complaint is I dont love the arm rest and places for drinks etc. you need to grope to locate. all in all, I plan to keep it as long as I possibly can. It would be hard to duplicate the good features.

  Thoughts after a year of ownership - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  By Tim Dodge - December 15 - 6:50 am

  I admit I was a little uneasy at first downsizing from our large sedan to a compact auto but rising fuel costs and poor reliability of the sedan forced our hand. Well any misgivings have vanished. WE LOVE THIS MACHINE! Great handling (love the AWD in our snowy NY winters), good gas mileage for a AWD (average of 31 with the top mileage @ 36 on the open road, around 26-28 intown) and most of all flawless reliability of this sistership to the Toyota Matrix. Although the ride is a little bumpy compared to the pillowy ride of our sedan it is amazing how we can drive this car 14 hours to the Myrtle beach without tiring. The car is sufficiently peppy in power although dont challenge any Hemis!
