    This car has been the best economy car i have ever owned. It has the power the comfort and the looks. It is well built car and good on gas I have been getting almost 40miles to the gallon, great car for students and adults a like. If you are looking for a nice fuel economy car that has the power, comfort and looks this is the one I would choose.

    Got 30 mpg on the first tank and looking for better as I break it in. Fun to drive and handles great on the Highway. Engine performs very well ( Heck.... its a Toyota ) Not a complaint yet. Love passing up gas stations.

  • I have 2 Vibes - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Fun and easy to drive. It’s real easy to get excited about this car. It gets great rating all around. Some times I take for granted how good a car it is until I have to drive something else. I don’t know why some “experts” say it’s underpowered. With 4 passengers and luggage it may have a little trouble getting uphill, but other than that its 130 or so horses has plenty of giddyup. The experts also say the steering wheel is too far to reach. I have short arms, it’s not a problem.

  • Once in a while - 2006 Pontiac Vibe

    Background: This purchase was a new 2003 Vibe in 2002. This is a long term veiw of the car. Do you know the feeling when you buy I knew car? When you love your new car? I did. I loved this car, and still do, as much as the day I drove it off the lot. It held speed at 80 across the western US on a recent 4000 mile round trip and got 34 MPG while doing it. This was with automatic Tranny too. The power train is from the Corolla, tranny also, but the interior space is like a large sedan. You never feel cramped. The test drive will show how it feels and that is the way it will feel 3 years later. I liked the Vibe so much, I bought one for my wife last December. See Favorite Feature below.

  • Awesome Car! - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    We picked up our Frosty White 2005 Vibe this week..and LOVE IT! It is such a sporty looking, fun-to-drive vehicle! We traded in our 2005 Equinox due to its uncomfortable leather seats and horrible gas mileage....wow! Did we hit big with our 2005 Vibe! The seats are so comfortable, the gas mileage is great! It is a pleasure to drive. It has responsive steering. The visibility when driving is great, no blind spots. The back seat is roomy, even for a taller person. We are so glad we bought this car! We could travel cross country in it, the seats are so comfortable, you feel like you are sitting in a cloud! Overall, you cant find a better ride for the value than this Vibe! ;-)

  • Maiden Voyage - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    First major trip, NY to FL to MO and back. What a hoot. Loaded down with golf clubs and luggage for two people, two climates. Wife managed to get her first speeding ticket in 20 years! Seats are incredibly comfortable, even on the first day, a 17 hour marathon! Were not youngsters anymore but no aches and pains from the ride. If it had another 12 inches in the luggage area, Id trade my Park Avenue for another one! Driving it like a sports car and still well over 30 mpg! Only other car weve ever owned that was more fun to drive was the original Toyota Celica GT we had in the 70s.

    Oh how I love my Vibe!!!

A BIG little car. If you havent driven one of these yet-go for it. Youll be pleasantly surprised. Every one tha has seen it, sat in it or driven it loves it!

  • Nice Compact Car - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Coming from a 2004 Malibu V6, the fuel economy on this car is a welcome change. For the engine size, this thing puts out a lot of power. Occasionally, I am left wanting during passing maneuvers, but for the most part, no complaints. The engine does get a little loud when the RPMs get up there, but it is never unwelcome. Interior-wise, the car is very comfortable and all the controls are well placed. Gauges are bright and easy to read and the car handles superbly. I would not hesitate to buy another one of these great little cars.

  • Great, fun car to drive. - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
