Used 2003 Pontiac Vibe Consumer Reviews
Everybody loves my Vibe
Wherever I go, my car gets looks (even a year after I bought it). People, sometimes total strangers, ask me how I like it, and I always tell them that I love it. The proof is for those who get to ride in it. The unanimous decision is that the Vibe-GT rocks. It has tons of cargo space. It has excellent performance: Acceleration is better than most V-6 cars, although it doesn't really come alive until above 4000 RPM, with explosive acceleration hitting at 6000 (ie you have to push it hard to really move). Handling is surprisingly good thanks to a tight suspension. The ride is quite smooth - I have yet to have a CD skip, even over railroad tracks.
Great car! Definately feeling the vibe
I love this thing. After my sis' accident on the highway with the sluggish Pathfinder, we bought this car and it's great. Lots of cargo space and good fuel economy too, what more can you ask for!? Don't expect this car to be gutsy, but it sure is fun to drive.

Spent More time In shop than on Road
I have driven the car for only 5,000, but it has been in the shop over 5 times trying to get the Sun roof to stop leaking and popping. I am not looking forward to a winter in the snow with this roof. pontiac are considering a recall because of the poor performance / design. I do not like the way the roof flexes when the Sun Roof opens and closes.
Pontiac's Best Kept Secret
I've been looking for new wheels for quite a while now, and came across the Vibe. After test driving the GT model, with the 6-speed manual trans, I was sold! This thing is a rocket! Same car as the Toyota Matrix, but with an American nametag. Smart looking vehicle, with a TON of room on the inside. Seats 4 adults really comfortably, and rear seats fold down to create a lot of room for moving just about anything! For the money this is a wonder car. Way to go Pontiac!
Pretty Cool Ride
Was considering the Vibe and Matrix, went with the Vibe because it is a better looking car. So far, it is pretty fun to drive, only complaint so far is the dashboard gauges are hard to read when the sun is behind you, and the trunk area needs something like a net or some device to keep stuff from moving.
