Compares well to Forester, which has poor MPG and $3+k more. Matrix less visually appealing; Toyota misled on low-cost financing; couldn't get ABS & SAB combo; forced to take standard options. After 6k miles, Vibe runs well, gets exc. mileage, Moons & Tunes stereo is a pleasure, plenty of room for big dog, guitar and gear. Paid ~$16.2 with rebate before tax: 5 sp., M & T pkg., ABS, SAB, bumper cover & cargo mat ordered from factory to specs (Salsa Red, black/gray trim and dark interior). Car performs well in snow and summer heat, gets exc. mileage (35-39 hgwy.) and has met expectations. Hoping for Toyota reliability over the long haul.

The Vibe is an extremely fun little car. I love driving it and find myself making excuses to go out just so I can have some fun with it! It handles wonderfully, especially for being so tall. There is very little body roll in the corners. Parking is a breeze because of the tight turning radius. Wherever I go, I get looks of admiration from other drivers because of the polarizing styling. The interior is very well laid out, and all the controls are very logical. The 6-disc CD changer plays very well. I have had no problems with this car whatsoever, having put nearly 1500 miles on it in the 3 weeks that I've owned it. A wonderful buy!

I bought the Vibe solely because it is a re-badged Toyota Matrix, and it has not let me down. The gas mileage average is about 20/26 (city/hwy)on 93 octane (even though the manual recommends 87, I get better mileage on 93). The ride quality is comfortable, especially on the highway, but There are minor creaks and rattles emanating from the rear of the car when driving over potholes or expansion joints. The engine is a bit sluggish, for my taste, but a K & N air filter and a cool air scoop have added some welcome ponies to my stable (I couldn't get the GT because Pontiac does not offer it with an automatic, and I am not the only driver in my household).

The vibe is a great car and fun to drive. I like being able to fold all the seats down. Can haul a lot that way.

Fun,sporty,and versatile. Exterior is O.K., but the interior is great. Lots of neat features, but not cluttered. This car is so much fun to drive. I'm sure with the current drive train, I will be having fun with car for years to come. I wish the base model had a few more pony's under the hood, but if you don't mind hanging around 4,500 rpm it will do.
