  • My 2005 Vibe - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I recently bought a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. I have been driving it for a week now and I already love it. I get about 27 mpg and it isnt even broken in yet. The audio system in it is very good for stock. This car handles and accelerates beautifully. I like it and recommend it to anybody looking for a fuel saving zippy car.

    I purchased the vibe a few months ago. I totally loved the toyota matrix and then I realized the vibe is very similar and much more affordable.

    Initially, a problem with car wandering under all road conditions. After replacing Continental tires, problem solved IF front tire pressure 38 and rear 36. Now handles perfect with neutral steering. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints.

  • Needed instead of Wanting - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    Got a very economical car in this era of rising gas prices. I got a great price for everything that came on this Vibe. Anyone needing an inexpensive car that is inexpensive to run then check out the Vibe. I went with the FWD instead of the AWD. I drove both, about the same feel supposedly a little better mileage with the FWD. Lots of head and leg room. Im 62 and there is 6=7inches of headroom to spare.

    The Vibe is a great deal more than I even expected! The ease of handling, peppy response, fine gas mileage and roomy cabin area are amazing for a car of this size and price. I gave up a foreign SUV - and Im completely happy to come back to Pontiac!

  • Love my vibe!! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    130,000 miles and still going strong!!!! I bought this car with 32,000 miles on it and have never had any big issues except A/C quit getting cold to which I took it in and no one could find a leak but after having a/c charged 3x and a/c only lasting a couple days there must be a leak somewhere but Ive chosen to live without it at this point. Ive used this car for sooooo many things, hauling just about anything I could fit in it (cake deliveries, landscaping materials, home improvement materials, furniture ect...). Hoping to see 200,000 miles or more on this baby, still looks in great shape!! Oh i usually get 33mph highway :)

  • My Vibe saved my life - 2005 Pontiac Vibe

    My parents bought me a new 2005 Vibe On May 25,2005. I was in a terrible accident August 9, 2005 My car was hit in the drivers door by another car going 40-45mph the force of the impact pushed my car across the street and into a pole. I got out of my car and walked away from the accident with only a sprained neck and a bruised shoulder...my passenger was unhurt. My car was totaled by the insurance company with over $13,000 worth of damage. I bought the Vibe because I loved how it looks but the 5 star safety rating was the reason my parents wanted me to get this car and I am alive today because of it. I am buying another Vibe this week.

    I drive on highway for going to work but live on country dirt roads and it handles very well on all kinds of roads.It also handles well in the snow.

  • 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.
