02/27/09	2009 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member971 Extensive research made me notice the Vibe. I was pleased with my purchase, but when my car was exposed to the worst of Hurricanes Gustav & Ike--with NOT EVEN MINOR DAMAGE--I was thrilled. Even my beloved Accord was not this realiable in the 1st 6 months!
02/24/09	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member2725 I get 27-28 mpg in the cold winter and 30+ in the summer/fall. I love filling up once every few weeks.
02/19/09	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member3037 The plastic lowers half of the car is really easy to keep clean and wears very well. Also the roof rack is handy is nice if your into outdoors stuff or haul anything. I have never used it though.
01/07/09	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons A member in British Columbia, Canada Typical Pontiac styling with a few more lines and jagged edges than the smoother Matrix...nice high backside sloping down to a sporty front.
09/24/08	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member485 Great city mpg

09/19/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member641 am actually getting better mileage than the EPA estimates....highway driving at 72 mph = 36 mpg.....at 60 mph mileage increases to 42 mpg
09/18/08	2009 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons A member in Oregon, United States I have gotten as low as 28 mpg and as high as 36 mpg. I like the fact that it is doing this well without being a hybrid.
09/18/08	2008 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1687 26 town 32 highway
09/18/08	2004 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1452 34 mpg lifetime fuel average.
09/17/08	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member963 I picked up mine at the end of May 2007, but it was a new 2006. I was able to negotiate a significant discount and combined that with the GM family plan to save more than $5000 off the list price.
07/08/08	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member2377 Very reliable,

05/23/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1337 Very gutless, slow and lacking torque. makes more noise than power.
05/23/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1337
05/21/08	2008 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1537 Big gap between the flat floor and the back of the front seats. I did like the room in the cargo area with the back seats down and the fact that the area is hard surface, no cheap fuzzy carpet to keep dirt locked in.
05/19/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1041 Pulling a small trailer for my business @ 35 m.p.g. makes a difference. The car is very economical to drive.
05/18/08	2004 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member2046 I like the lines of the 2004 Vibe more than the Matrix. The Vibe is assembled in California. I like to keep Americans working and preserve the middle class. Yet I wanted the Toyota reliability.
05/15/08	2005 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member614 I average about 32 mpg with mixed city and highway driving, which I think is great for a car that has about as much cargo space as many small SUVs.
05/15/08	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member763 It would only fit the 2 kids in their seat. There is a 3rd belt, but the car seats took up the space where the adult would go between them.
05/14/08	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons A member in Alberta, Canada Lots of room in the hatchback, much more than anything comparable.
05/14/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member784 It is a copy of the Toyota Matrix but looks much nicer. Body molding and roof rack ect..
05/14/08	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1475 Tyical Toyota product: low maintenance and no problems.
05/14/08	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member867 When I bought this Vibe, MSRP $18,690, in 2003 I had a GM Card deal where GM increased my $750 current earnings to $2,003; plus the regular $2,000 rebate, plus a $1,056 delaer discount. Net was $13,631 plus sales tax etc. Could not pass up that deal.
05/14/08	2007 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member1559 It is excellent on gas
05/14/08	2006 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member622 Other than external appearance, the Pontiac Vibe is a union made, made in USA Toyota Matrix, while the Toyota Matrix is a Canadian made, not yet union made [although the CAW is trying] car. Both are fantastic cars.
04/29/08	2003 Pontiac Vibe Pros and Cons Member267 Great highway mileage with 1.8L VVT-i engine. City mileage is acceptable for my needs - lots of short trips.
