  • LOVE THIS CAR! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I test drove this last summer and liked it. But now that I FINALLY bought one I LOVE it. Its fun to drive and is very visually appealing. The gas mileage is great (especially with the cost at $2 a gallon) and is very roomy. I would definitely recommend this for a buy!

    My 4 year daughter and myself were involved in a head on collision with our Vibe. A woman ran a stop light and hit us head on going about 45-50 mph. All I can say is, this car certainly made an impression for me to buy a new one without hesitation. The front end was totally demolished and totalled, yet both of us were able to walk away with only bruises. The structure of the impact and how well it protected us was simply amazing. For being a small SUV, its stylish, great on gas, avg. 30-35 mpg everyday driving, and the room inside is amazing. After owning it over a year, I still can say I love the Vibe! No major problems for functionality!

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    To sum it up, I LOVE MY 2004 Vibe. It is an awesome car! It is roomy enough for 2 adults and 2 car seats, with room for luggage or something for a trip. There are alot of extra features, such as a desk or a storage bin for the hatch (which with 2 small children I will be purchasing soon!) The chrome on the inside is what sold me though! Like the song says, "Her favorite color is chrome." Until now, chrome was not important to me, but I LOVE IT! I would never buy another car again!

  • Reliable, predictable, economical, zzzzz - 2004 Pontiac Vibe

    My Vibe makes me smile. Its the red one you see most often in ads but not the GT. No supercharger. I bought it with 31k and put 32k on it. Besides oil changes only had to replace front brakes. Tight steering. Boring to drive but unbeatably reliable. Its a Matrix, after all. MPG averages 28-29 if I do 70 or under on the freeway and relax in traffic. Lots of space inside when you flatten the back seat. The car rides high for its light weight and you are at the driver level of the average SUV. You must adjust your mirrors accurately to avoid the blind spots - dont look surprised Toyota/Pontiac - you know they are there. Very easy to park and turn. A truly great little car... but boring.

    Love this vehicle--fun to drive---great performance

  • From NEW to 106,000 miles..7yrs of FUN - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    I now have 106k miles on the Vibe and I have only replaced the tires and that was at 65,000 with the original Goodyear Eagle tires. Still have original brakes. The VIBE will cost less than its twin the Matrix and have the same reliability. I think it was 2009 that they changed the engine with increased hp but less mpg.. I would rather have the better gas mileage and the design of the 2003-2008 body too.. Both the MAtrix and the Vibe are built on the Corolla platform, but I think the Vibe is more versitile..

    I bought this car after owning a 2002 Audi A4 which turned out to be a lemon. I will never buy another VW/Audi product again! Vibes have great looks,(better looking than the Toyota Matrix)performance, fuel economy, versatility and room. This car is smooth and quiet on the freeway and peppy around town. Passing power is good even with the 4spd automatic which my Vibe has. The moon and tunes package is great too, with excellent sound quality from the stereo. With more standard features than the Toyota Matrix, just as good reliability, and coupled with the rebates from GM, Vibes are by far the better choice of the two.

  • Great Car! - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Not only is this car sporty looking, it provides a great ride. It is fuel efficient and for a small car seems very roomy. It has a lot of pep on the open road. I am short and find this one of the easiest cars to get in and out of with ease for all passengers as well as myself.

  • Vibes for you - 2004 Pontiac Vibe
    By -

    Its a peppy smart looking car that is a cross between an SUV and a wagon. It handles smoothly on straight aways as well road construction surfaces. Great front window view. The back hatch door can be opened fully with remote or just the window can be open if you just want to put small bags in.This car is very roomy and seats 5 people very comfortable. Has great back seat leg room for tall people. This car does have roadside service coverage which hopefully Ill never have to check out,but at least its available. This car also has a great sound system.CDs play and sound like youre listening live. Free oil changes every 3 months is a great incentive also.
