Used 2003 Pontiac Vibe Consumer Reviews
So Happy!
I was SO hesistant about buying this car. I was downsizing from a Chevy Blazer and wasn't sure I wanted an American car again. I had to test drive it three times. But I love it now. It's reliable - good in our winter snowstorms - and incredibly fun to drive, even if it's only a 4 cylinder. There is a ton of storage space and it will make a great "baby" car in a few years. I get tons of comments on it - how cool it looks interior and exterior.
Fun to drive
Have had it for about 2 months. AC blower motor replaced under warranty. the car is fun to drive, gets respectable gas mileage, and is very roomy. Happy with our purchase so far...

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.
Hot Hatch
I took the GT model. Thought this car was SOOO much fun! I love the versatility of the hatchback/wagon type of car (and yes, I'm comfortable with calling it a wagon!). The placement of the shifter couldn't be better. Surprisingly quiet on the expressway and fun to flog around town! The power is all from 6000-8000 RPM, which means you don't always get into it in daily driving. Ideally, I'd have the base w/5-speed and the GT suspension.
I Loveeeeeee My Vibe
Excellant pickup when passing for a 4 cyl. Handling around curves is excellant. Smooth drive. Enormous inside, deceiving from outside. Plenty of legroom front and backseat.Cargo space goes from front to back with seats down. Great sound out of the 6 speaker system. Alot of fun to drive. Excellant gas mileage. Plenty of storage compartments hidden as well as open. Enjoyable moon/sun roof. Dashboard reminds me of an old GTO with the round chrome gauges. Bright orange contrast at night makes for great visability.
