Pros: Eager performance, direct steering, versatile interior, loads of character, solid feel.
Cons: Poorly-matched engine and transmission, some interior trim reveals GM cheapness, slightly awkward driving position.
Summary: My Experience I test-drove a Pontiac Vibe GT at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about half an hour and covered city streets, winding secondary roads, and (briefly) the freeway. Performance The Vibe GT's energetic ... read more

Pros: Roomy, Sharp, Easy on gas, cool as hell!
Cons: Blindspots!
Summary: I absolutely love my vibe. You load the family in, throw the luggage on the racks, and head out for the open road...great car for travel. We have travelled extensively in this car. It is great on gas and VERY roomy. The Vibe is sharp-looking, and you ... read more

Pros: Cargo room, gas mileage, comfortable cabin, price.
Cons: Acceleration
Summary: I bought my Vibe from Hertz car sales with 19k miles on it. My previous car was a Toyota Corolla wagon that my grandpa gave me. The car is used mostly for going to work, carrying groceries and visiting home a few times per week. I've also used it to help ... read more

Pros: Usefullness, Attractive, Moons & Tunes package, mileage per gallon, durability
Cons: paint sucks, warranty could be longer
Summary: We bought this mini-suv back in aug 2003. It now has over 36,000 miles and is out of warranty. The little red car has been an incredible ride all this time. We are still on the original Eagle RSA tires and still meat left. The only thing to go bad so far ... read more

Pros: Functional interior design/features, sleek exterior, nice to drive, very comfortable seats, leg/head room.
Cons: Disappointing gas mileage, noisy, no telescopic steering, standard stereo mediocre, interior panels scuff easily.
Summary: We have the base model 130 HP automatic with lots of options. I want to say right off the bat that I wouldn’t have considered buying this vehicle if it wasn’t 80% Toyota-built. Our previous vehicle was a ForeRunner, and Toyota is hard to beat ... read more

Pros: Practical, fun, fuel economy, quality, relative comfort
Cons: Some limited safety options for 2003-4 (improved for 2005)
Summary: Overall, the Vibe is a practical, reliable, versatile small car that doesn't feel that small. It's Toyota DNA makes it reliable, while the Pontiac styling works for this car. We purchased our 2004 Vibe in December 2003. I drove it for 8 months ... read more

Pros: roomy, versatile, lean on gas and good build quality
Cons: susceptible to side wind
Summary: A Japanese car made in the States, Vibe is a very comprehensive and useful sub-SUV. Bought it for more than a year now, the car's quality is holding up to the testing of the northern weather. It's roomy, versatile, and lean on gas for the 1.8L engine ... read more

Pros: Sporty styling, great gas milage, Toyota engine and drivetrain
Cons: poor visability due to back seat headrests, radio antenna mount cracking
Summary: We ended up with the Vibe because we were getting sick of being "OPEC Prisoners". With gas going to over $2.00/gal, we decided to go with a more fuel effiecient car. We always really liked the Subaru's, Honda's and looked at the PT Cruiser, but we ... read more

Pros: MPG (30/35), comfortable seats, Toyota engine & powertrain, sporty exciting styling, smooth as silk.
Cons: Engine little noisy, visability, plastic interior components, limited interior colors.
Summary: We started out looking for either a Subaru Outback, PT Cruiser, or a Pontiac Vibe, focusing on proven quality and durability. We were very surprised by the PT Cruiser's quality and functionality (2004 Turbo Limited). I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and ... read more

Pros: Interior space (with seats folded down), good gas mileage, reasonable price.
Cons: Some blind spots. I wish you could get it with a tape deck too.
Summary: Okay, I read the reviews of the 2003 Vibe, and a lot of them seem to be from people who test drive lots of cars or are otherwise very mechanically-minded. Here's a review from your Average Jane. My husband and I are active, and we were getting rid of ... read more

Pros: Interior space, 30 mpg, aggressive look, comfortable ride
Cons: rearview obstructed by headrests
Summary: Pontiac Vibe is a good choice for an everyday driver. Orange metallic color is awesome. Bought it back in September of 2003, satisfied so far. Good handling, brakes (abs), more than average steering wheel radius allows for much tighter turns in small ... read more

Pros: good gas mileage, great for dogs or kids
Cons: some cheap parts inside, not a fast car, no pick up
Summary: The pontiac vibe is not the car for you if you are used to driving fast. It gets good gas mileage, has a lot of room inside, is comfortable to sit in, but it has no pick up. I had several little problems with it when I first bought it, the radio didn't

Pros: Great mileage
Cons: Disappointing, all black interior, shows everything.
Summary: A great value! We bought a Vibe that had been a rental for a year and was still under manufacturer's warranty and saved over $5000. The front wheel drive is more than adequate without the loss of power we've heard about the AWD models. It has a versatile
