Used 2005 Pontiac Vibe Consumer Reviews
Great Car
Great car for the money. Fun to drive, great on gas, and a sharp looking little car. I was out the door for just over $18K, with the navigation system and 6 disc CD player.
Great Value
I had an Olds Alero that gave me nothing but trouble (In the shop over 15 times in 3 years...all covered under warranty, but unaccepatble). I looked to the Toyota Matrix for quality, more room and better gas mileage. The fact the Vibe has a Toyota pedigree was the strongest selling point. I was primarily looking for the Matrix, but a pre-owned loaded Vibe with only 7000 miles came across me so I jumped at it. The car's design is top notch and the build quality impressive. It corners well and accerlartion is better than I thought it would be. You have to know going into buying that it's not a hot rod, but there is plenty of power for everyday driving. Gas mileage is icing on the cake.

The Vibe
I have to say the Vibe is a great little car. I love the way it looks on the inside and out, handles well. Gas mileage right now could be a little better. Maybe it will be when it isn't winter time out and having to be in AWD all the time. If anyone wanted a nice reliable car, the 2005 Vibe is a great deal. Seats are really comfy , easy to move and adjust.
Love the VIBE!
Fun to drive, great for hauling! Bought used, have had no problems with it. Will look for another, but very sad they are no longer making. :(
The perfect car!
I bought my first Vibe when they first came out in 2002 and after 36000 miles it has been flawless. Last year when my wife needed a car, we carefully considered Camry, Accord, Mazda 6 and Jetta but endded up getting another Vibe. I'm perplexed by Edmunds luke warm review, while Jetta gets a glowing review?? The Jetta's interrior and trunk is cramped compared to the Vibe, and the Vibe has better steering response and a far better base engine (I didn't want turbocharged). Edmunds says the Vibe is not "sporty", but I find it nimble and crisp, on par with import sport coups. The larger Camry and even Accord is not as nimble, but the Vibe has just as much interrior room.
