Our second Vibe! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By cathyy - November 1 - 2:50 pmWhen my husband and I decided to trade in his Grand Am and my Vibe and get just one new car (pending retirement) there was no discussion about which model car to get. We both knew it HAD to be another Vibe. Our Vibes have never given us a moments worry. Everything Just Works, and looks good while doing it. We get the basic utility of an SUV without the hefty gasoline guzzling. When our daughter visits, the Vibe is her choice of car to borrow due to the easy car seat installation. The optional cargo box prevents groceries from sliding around in the cargo area, and folds flat out of the way. Its an ideal car for almost anyone, young or old. Dont be misled by the marketing.

On or Off-road, The AWD Vibes a Winner - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By pattdc - October 22 - 6:53 amIm a 55-year-old independent documentary film- maker and freelance journalist who travels extensively to get the story. Since purchasing my AWD Vibe in April of this year, Ive put 14,000 miles on her without any problems -- most of the miles on the interstates... but Ive also taken The Vibe off-road in the sand, rocks, washes and gullies of the Sonora Desert; crossed over the Rockies three times; and zipped down unimproved roads through several National Forests. Vibes peppy performance is adequate without being special. P.S. Im 6 tall and weigh 250 lbs, but The Vibe comfortably fits me, plus my luggage and equipment bags, and has room to spare.

Fun Car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By DJ Drift - September 23 - 10:00 amThe GT version is fun to drive. The corners, the straight-a-ways, on-ramps, off-ramps(braking), are all fun to do. The only problem I have had, was snow. The engine is an all aluminum engine and doesnt do to hot in the snow. But other than that, the car is quick off the line. Kinda sluggish in the low end torque area, but when you hit 6000rpm all the way to 8k, hold on. Gas mileage is good also. Driving from Virginia to Minnesota, you have to cross through the mountains, which I might add is a blast, I still get great gas mileage. I never want to get stuck someone in the boondocks of West Virginia and in the Vibe I dont have to worry about that.

Still Going! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Roadrunner - September 7 - 12:43 amThough this car is only an 05, it has many hard miles on it. It just hit 145k. Never had it to the dealership, never a problem! Just normal things you have to maintain. Still has original battery. Had brakes replaced last summer. Hit a deer and help up VERY well, hardly could notice any damage. I love this car. Its unreal what you can pack into this thing! Nice storage areas inside, lots of space and very roomy & comfy! The fold down flat seats make it nice for putting just about anything in it. I think its a very sharp looking car. Had it over a year before I actually realized it was a station wagon. Mine is a 5spd and gets great gas mileage. 145k & still going strong!

a great car - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By joey - July 29 - 3:06 pmIi traded in my suv for the vibe. Its fun to drive with plenty of pep without sacrificing gas mileage. We travel with big dogs and camp often. There is plenty of room for everthing including 2 extra adult passengers. The best mileage I have recorded was 39 miles to the gallon! Normally I get at least 36 on the road. I have absolutely no complaints with this car. It is perfect.

Practical, Fun and Reliable - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By RAC - July 29 - 12:36 pmThe Vibe was purchased for my wife as a station car and to provide cargo space for weekend errands. The ride is comfortable, smooth and quiet. And the car is surprisingly agile on the road - it handles better than we thought it would. The cargo space (which can be configured a number of ways depending upon back seat position) is especially useful for us - the tie down tracks are ingenious and will help you to secure your cargo. We do recommend the cargo mat, however, to help prevent cargo slippage. The Vibe is fun to drive, safe, pratical and so far, reliable. The fuel economy matters more to us than speed or power, which by the way, is fairly good nevertheless!

an american car that rocks - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By tjs317 - July 17 - 5:36 pmokay, I wanted to buy american & get the reliability of a toyota. Nuff said, same assembly line as toyota matrix. a 6 speed tied to the yamaha engine doesnt hurt, either!!!

Great Vehicle for the Money! - 2005 Pontiac Vibe
By Chief1995 - July 4 - 3:23 pmThis car is a fun vehicle to drive and is easy on the pocketbook (average 33 MPG city). This coupled with the Toyota design elements and reliablility make this vehicle a great purchase. The vehicle has storage capability that is not available with the standard sedan. You either have to sacrifice gas milage or storage. All in all, I have enjoyed my vehicle and look forward to driving it every day. The XM satallite radio is a significant plus when traveling in areas with limited traditional FM/AM coverage.
