no BMW but solid economy car

Good, reliable car. Very good gas mileage and plenty of space inside for a small car. With a Toyota Corolla drivetrain, it'll be reliable. Wish it had better handling, similar to Mazda Protege, but I bought it because it was more thrifty fuel-wise and had a bigger interior. It'll never be a BMW but for an unrich guy like me it was a good buy. The interior is fun and the stereo sounds good. As a recording engineer, I always test my mixes in the car. Plus having that extra space with the fold- down rear seats, I can carry a rack of equipment while still having kid- carrying flexibility that I didn't have in my two seat pickup.

What a Blast

This is the most fun I've had driving a car in years. It amazes me the pick up this car has. You don't have to worry about getting on the interstate or passing another car. It handles like a expensive sports car and you can't beat the gas mileage. If you want to buy a great car you've found it.

Decent Ride

Good on the highway. Sluggish 0 to 50MPH. Well designed interior. Great for moving things or carrying loads. 200 watt stereo below average. Speakers vibrate. Omits sulpher smell when you floor the gas pedal. 28 to 30 MPG. Tires are wearing quickly. Original equipment Continental tires will need to be replaced at 35,000 mile, despite rotaing tires every other oil change.

Not all I had hoped.

The peppy part and the milage are on the mark but it's really just another small car to me. It's noisy and has a constant vibration. There are too many blind spots. I drive a large delivery truck and can manuever it better in traffic. The passenger side seat in narrower than the drivers side and squeezes you. Problems including a CD player skipping and the air conditioning quiting. It has an AC outlet but only the smallest of plugs will fit because of the cover cap. We needed a new key and it took the dealer 25 minutes to program the auto lock system with it.

Lovin it

I had a smart buy on a 2001 sunfire that was due. I had received a letter from my dealer that I should come in and see what was new. I had not planned on getting rid of my sunfire because I loved it, but when I saw the new Vibe I fell in love with it and drove it home that afternoon. And my husband and I have been enjoying driving around town and receiving so many compliments. I also love the color (orange fusion metalic)! It's great a can find my Vibe anywhere I park. Thank you so much for our new comfortable ride.
