I bought this car used 3 months ago (with 118,000 miles), and in the 3000 miles I've driven it, it has needed TWO catalytic convertors! It also needed repair on a window that was cobbled together (which of course, I couldn't see). It is also the NOISIEST car I've ever had. It revs up alot each morning when it is cold outside until I've traveled a few miles at higher speeds. I rue the day I bought this car and I'm afraid to drive it for fear the transmission will be next. I clearly have a lemon.
That darn engine light

I have had my Vibe for three years now and about twice a year it is in the shop for the engine light coming on. So far the most of the time I have been told it is the fuel emissions. Well it's back on again and my warranty just ran out... So what to do? I don't recommend the 2003 Vibe at all. I mean I like the way it rides, it's style, but too many trips to the shop.

So I went online and tried to find the most reliable car. This came up within my price range. Spent quite a few bucks on this thing...but it's to be expected as a used car. My mistake was buying used, I'm over it. I'll take the payments and not deal w/ the hassle of things breaking. Had to replace the clutch, 1k. Piston issue, 1.4k. Usual used car mx. It's so slow it's crazy. Was driving on hilly roads and people had to get out of my car it was maxed out and SLOWING DOWN. Who is this car for? People who want a car. It sounds simple, but there's a world where you DO have a car and world where you DON'T have one. This puts you in the DO. Is it nice? Nope? Pretty reliable? Yes. Comfortable. Meh. Gas milage. OK. So if you need a cheap car that's puts you in the car world, this is it. If you're looking for a car w/ personality or something that you will enjoy driving, don't do it. It's pretty reliable, it's a Toyota in reality. Still has used car problems though you can't avoid being a 2003.
