Mazda5 vs. Pontiac Vibe

Re: Mazda5 vs. Pontiac Vibe [jack_1000]

Written by: coolmazda5 on Apr 02, 2009 07:35 PM

My answer is biased because I own 2 Mazda5s, but in summary: Mazda5 = more space, sliding doors and better handling (a blast to drive) I rented an 09 few months ago (2009 2.4L 5AT Pontiac Vibe FWD 1SB) so here is the summary (I'm not sure if I posted it here before, but here we go): 1. The first gen Vibe rear was much sexier, the 09 facelift looks terrible. The MZ5 rear is ... Read More...

Facts: -I have owned a 1999 Dodge Durango for 8 years and have loved it, aside from the 12mpg. -The cargo area is my most beloved aspect of the Durango -I love the clearance of the vehicle. -Conversely, ...

I have a 2008 that I got new in April,and I started noticing a burnt smell,kind of like a cross between when a radiator gets hot and electrical.There are no leaks or any gauges going off.I only have 6000 miles on it so I am sure I am going to get the complete 36 months of warranty,so that gives me time to see if its just breaking in or what? All of my fluid levels are good,and ... Read More...

Pontiac Vibe Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Re: Found a 2009 Vibe [robrwa123]

Written by: use1time on Sep 21, 2008 07:29 AM

I got a great final price because of the GM card rebate points - something that, IMO gives GM a great edge over the competition. The experience I had at Carl Black GMC/Pontiac was excellent. I think the dealership and the salesman both deserve mention. The internet salesman - Bob Leyda actually saved me money by taking the time to discuss who the car was for and how ... Read More...

Re: Good Deal on New 2008 Vibe [robert60640]

Written by: jfritsch on Mar 21, 2008 03:25 AM

Why would you have been certain? If you look up the value of your vehicle used 07 with average miles in outstanding condition, it barely wholesales above $13000 according to kbb.com and the other books. The Toyota matrix (on which it is) is similar. Eating $5000 on a vehicle like this 1st year is uncool (from 18300 purchase price) expecially since 09 models are ... Read More...

Pontiac Vibe 2009+

Saw it in Detroit

Written by: jstant1 on Jan 23, 2008 01:36 PM

I saw the 2009 Vibe at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit yesterday. They wouldn't let you sit in the car (or the Matrix either) because they were "prototypes" - even though it is the actual production model as opposed to a concept. Pontiac gave me a free poster that said "Available in dealerships end of January, 2008" on the bottom. The guy I talked ... Read More...

Re: 2008 Pontiac Vibe vs 2008 Honda Civic [zombietom3]

Written by: ytij on Oct 21, 2007 07:08 PM

You did the math right. It was $1000 for the trade, $2000 in rebates and another $1000 discount (plus the $3500 GM card rebate). I was told I couldn't get abs after the fact. I searched the Pontiac website for 2007's and almost all of them seemed to be either an odd combination of options or not many options. When I found one with so much of what I was looking for (the color ... Read More...
