My wife and both enjoy our Vibe. We took a gamble buying a new 2003 model that had very little written about it at that time. We are very pleased by the performance and reliability of the GT and have only two minor repairs since we purchased it in 2003. My wife uses the Vibe,five days a week to visit shut-ins and seniors, on backroads that are gravel or sand in addition to normal paved highway. She loves her Vibe and enjoys the "spirit" it has for all types of normal driving conditions. She has mentioned buying a new one after this one reaches 150,000 miles.

I bought this car a little more than a year ago. It was a 2003 with 88,000 miles on it. I thought this was pretty low for a car this old and the price was right so I bought it. After one month a wheel bearing needed replaced, which the used car dealer happily replaced free of charge. One year later I cannot say enough good things about this little car. It has been perfect. I have had no issues with anything. It now has 107,000 miles on it and other than routine oil changes I've had to fix nothing. This is the first used car I've ever had in my life where everything works. The most reliable car I've ever owned, and I've owned many. If I had to come up with one complaint, and this is very minor, it would be this: I am a smoker and I thought it rather odd that the car came with a traditional cigarette lighter, but no ashtray. Strange. This car is basically the same vehicle as a Toyota Matrix, aside from slightly different front grill aesthetics and of course, different badges. Not much more to say here, it's hard to top perfect.

I love the car but the seats and dashboard get dirty quick. It is hard to keep clean. The trunk doesn't come with a rug and your stuff slides all over the back.
