05 vibe

always seems to run and drive well, never any reliability concerns, I do have a rattle in the dash at less than 1 year old, and seems a little small at times. But I otherwise can't think of a more practical starter car for the small family.

My Vibe is a good little car. I downsized in mid-2005 when gas reached $3.00 per gallon. It gets good gas mileage, is fun to drive, and is very roomy for such a small vehicle. The back seat is HUGE. My only problems have been some rattles in the dash and an ongoing "starting" issue. It doesn't like to fire up right away when the engine is warm. Other than that, no real problems. Great car!

Fantastic Fusion

2004 Fusion Vibe. Fusion color receives tons of double takes. Purchased with some anticipation, but could not be happier with my decision. Exterior size was a concern, but there is an abundance of interior space. I love this car. Purchased with 17 inch wheels and rims, but considering chrome rims soon to make the total package just "Pop"!

Sold my Firebird and bought my Vibe because of a knee problem. This little Wagon performs to the max on these hills of North Alabama. It is great to drive..very responsive. Gas mileage is great. I love the body style and everything about it!! Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing! It's the most FUN car I've ever owned and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It's easy to park and performs beautifully in rainy weather. I LOVE IT!!! Will probably buy another one when this one wears out!!

I loved my vibe and I hate I had to trade it in, but the dealership wouldn't work with me on getting an automatic. I have a left foot problem, and needed to quit shifting, but I'm not giving up yet. The dealership I bought it off of is looking for a comparable substitute, I'd be happy with another Vibe, as long as it is an automatic.I miss my Vibe!!!!I wish you could help me , but I guess you're not in a position to do that God Bless You for making my Vibe, it was ,and hopefully will be again.
