Having owned my Vibe GT for 3 months and 4,700 miles I can now make an educated review of this product. For starters, the initial quality is very poor. I have brought my Vibe GT to the shop 3 different times for the same 3 problems. 1) The front end alignment would never stay centered. 2) The rear passenger door hatch needed fixing 3 different times. 4) And lastly, the dashboard has had a rattle since day one due to the overly done up speedometer/tachometer chromatic covering. The have replaced the piece 2 times and it rattles to this very day. At 20,000 I would expect the qaulity to be above entry-level,which this car's is not.
Great on gas, but poor engine

I bought my vibe because I have heard such good reviews, and I liked the fact that it is a Toyota in disguise, but I am truly dissapointed. The check engine light came on and when checked out, it turns out I need a catalytic converter, also it has started losing oil so a compression test was done and I need a new engine also, which is why my cat. converter went bad. I have been sooo upset because I dont have the money to just go and put a whole new engine in and I have to have a car. Regular oil changes have always been done in this car so we dont know why the engine has went bad. I hope everyone else has better luck with their vibe.

Our vibe has been phenomenal. No mechanical problems whatsoever! The reliability and drivability has been that of a European car!
Vibe is a joy to own!

In almost six years now we have only put tires, a battery, and front brake pads on this car! Oil and filter of course, but wonderful car. Highway mileage goes to low 30's at high speeds. Contrary to what some here report, the Vibe and Matrix are made in America on the same assembly line in California.
4+ years and going strong

I bought this car the first model year as I liked its good gas mileage, a small exterior for easier parking in NYC but a lot of inside room. As I am 6'2" I was impressed that I could sit and have plenty of head room. It also gave more leg room that vehicles that are a lot bigger. Good car for the city and hwy driving is nice but could use a bit more pep. Mileage is great. I have had only one problem with the vehicle which came within the warranty period. One of the sensors in the gas tank malfunctioned which prevented any gas from being pumped into the tank. Took 4 days for the dealer to get the part and fix it and then they lost the keys. Would definitely buy another one.
