Love my Vibe

I love how I can fold down the back seats and fit almost anything in this small car that has so much space and room. Plus I am very tall and wanted something that had plenty of leg room for the driver and all the passengers, this has it. Lots of room for a car!!! The vibe has good fuel economy and plenty of room! I love it.

I have 3500 miles on my Vibe and have been very pleased. I drive it back and forth to work [construction site - not paved] every day and the wife and I do all of our running around in it. The engine is peppy enough but has to be revved. I didnt want the GT version because it requires premium gas and makes its power above 6000 rpm. Have been happy with the 5 spd. Have averaged 29.54 mpg for the first 10 tanks-this at 80mph on highway with air running. Got 32 for 1 tank that was more highway than city. Car very functional. Has decent ground clearance and carries my toolbag and lunch box . Plastic cladding not the best looking stuff in the world but very functional..

It's a great car and fun to drive. Although most reviews have an issue on the car's power, I find it can to be enough to get on the highway or merge into traffic. I took a long trip last year with the family and it was comfortable and held a lot of luggage, a cooler and two big kids in the back. I had no problem going 80 - 85 mph and keeping up with the flow of traffic. I have only had a problem with a screw coming loose in the moonroof and it wouldn't close properly but it was fixed under warranty. The Vibe wasn't my first choice but I an sure glad I have mine. Its a pleasure to drive!!!!

Vibe is Different

The vibe is fun and practical, with a very likeable interior design. The seats fold down to allow you to carry lots of stuff and there are a number of little storage areas for your personal stuff. The interior is sporty, nice looking wheels (optional), the sound system (200 watt option w/six disk CD changer) sounds great and the fuel economy is super (28 MPG). Solid ride on the highway. My only complaint is it's a little sluggish from 0 to 40 MPH. That being said, I immediately liked the car during my test ride.

This little car is fun to drive, economical and sharp looking. I stepped down from an Acura sedan, but like this car much better. It's highly manuverable in tight spots, and carries alot of cargo too. It gets lots of positive responses from other drivers, many of whom ask me, "What is that?"
