  A good buy - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By gmmas - August 31 - 3:30 am

  I tested this car in comparison to many others thinking that it would not be enough car for me. I tested it on the highway and found that it was plenty of car to pass and I could get a ticket if I tried..no problem. It has also been very functional with a lot of cargo room and very handy tie down spots for bungee cords. The roof rack is pretty much just for decoration though in my opinion. I get 35 mph on the highway with the AC on and after over 11,000 miles have not had a single initial quality issue. Lastly many other cars have stolen the overall Vibe styling. The vibe was the first with this general look.

  Good Vibes! - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By W Barnes - June 8 - 11:50 am

  A really great car to own and drive! Get lots of compliments, especially about the color (stealth grey, really a greenish, sometimes bluish) that changes depending upon the light and time of day. Would buy again but next time with stability and traction control (wanted this time but price with all options was just too high). If you are looking for an auto with a high seating position, gas economy, ample cargo space and options, a little more ground clearance than average, an alternative to an SUV and style, this is it! (If GM/Toyota would make the changes below the car would be near perfect.)

  In Your Face All You Imports - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By Mark Searles - March 31 - 1:36 am

  What a car. I owned Nissans my whole life, but decided to spend my money on Uncle Sam, and let me tell you its the same if not better. This car is filled with Fun and perfect for 1-2 kid car seats.

  Me and My Vibe - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By Buckeye - January 5 - 6:56 pm

  Love this car - owned two SUVs previously but had to give them up due to distances traveled and gas expenses. Found this little gem and I feel right at home - sitting up high and feeling safe while getting the added bonus of good gas mileage. Performs very well; quite zippy. People (teens included) like the cars performance and appearance. We love the audio system, sun roof and fast-responding heater. It is keeps us warm! We are ready for the nasty winter :)

  The Vibe , a Great Little Car - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By Warren Curt - December 17 - 1:06 pm

  This car has all I am looking for with the current fuel situation. I replaced a V8 truck and have cut my fuel consumoption in 1/2. It cruises very well at 75 MPH. There are numerous storage areas. It has very adequate space for 4 adults. I like the styling better than its cousin the Toyota Matrix. I would recomend this car to anyone.

  GOOD BUT COULD BE BETTER - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By CARMAX GIRL - December 16 - 3:33 pm

  This car is fun to drive and gets great gas milege. The interior and exterior are both comfortable and stylish, but the exterior paint is of poor quality. The car is also very reliable, but not fast.

  GOES and goes 211,000 miles at 34-40 mpg - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By bass player - December 4 - 6:47 pm

  No major repairs, only maintenance like fluid changes and brake checks. Enough room for a string bass and 2 children. Great car! We live where there are dirt roads and rough roads, no repairs needed. It has a timing belt. I drive 500 miles per week and average 35 mpg. When I freeway drive its 40 mpg. I have been rear ended twice. Once by a large pick-up truck (I opted to not repair) and recently by a semi trailer truck and I am still driving my Vibe. This time repairs are needed due to my crunched lift gate. I need to transport the string bass.

  I would buy another Vibe - 2006 Pontiac Vibe
  By bmontgomery - November 9 - 4:40 pm

  I have had my Vibe for over a year now and I am happy with it. I can get 33 mpg on the highway if I keep it below 70 mph. City driving in a Minnesota winter is more like 24 mpg but that story is the same with all my cars. My only complaint is that the cargo area is not wide enough. I bought a station wagon so that I could carry stuff and the Vibe has let me down a few times.
