My Vibe has to be the best investment I have ever made in a vehicle. I cannot say enough about this car. I have not had to take it to the dealership for any repairs or adjustments. It just performs beautifully.

We bought this on the GM Employee pricing plan. Couldn't beat the deal. It is a great car, reliable and fun to drive. Excellent gas mileage. Can't really think about anything bad to say other than it should come with a rear mat standard as groceries tend to slide around on the plastic rear floor. We bought 2 huge tote bags that have divided areas which really helped. Car has plenty of head room and is easy to get in and out of. It has tilt wheel but a telescoping steering wheel would be helpful. We are very happy with the Vibe.

I love love love this car. This is by far the best auto purchase I have ever made. My husband and I both have one and love it. It is very reliable and nice on the pocket book. It is a little small if you have small kids with lots of stuff.

What a nice lil car...

In a nutshell, the Vibe has performed as well as I expected it to. Two years, 90K miles and no mechanical issues yet; however, the original Continental tires didn't make it pass 20K and the original paint job is the worst I've ever experienced. But, the lil car is averaging about 34/35 mpg on the highway. The ride is not so bad, perhaps a lil loud and a lil slow on the initial pickup or for passing, but enough. Seats are firm and comfortable. And, I'm sure I could mention lots of other things. Overall, I am pleased with it for what I bought it for: a comfortable, affordable, practical and easy on the gas lil commuting vehicle (I commute 150 a day)...
