Used 2005 Pontiac Vibe Consumer Reviews
Nice ride!
I drive 110 miles a day to work enjoy the good gas mileage! Very nice riding car!
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.

Good & bad
Great fuel milage 29 to 32 city and 40+ hwy,too many rattles,safety concern, when emergency braking shoe is applied to brake and gas pedal at same time so car can't stop safely. I've had two very close calls. Shoe size is 10 d. Very uncomfortable to drive on long trips.
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.
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.
