Just bought a 2005
I just purchased a new Vibe (18 miles) and I couldn't be happier, well unless it had a lot more power. It's fun to drive, and the base stereo is more than adequate. Options: Power group Aluminum Wheels Fusion Orange

Very good value for the money
People like the design (including me). The instrumentation is well thought-out: easy to read and reach. The gas mileage is consistent and excellent. The use of space seems efficient. The interior is well planned and I can load a lot into it-- cargo as well as passengers (who are comfortable, they say). Handling is succinct and reliable. I travel a lot and can comfortably take everying I need for camping, cycling and any other activity I want to do.
Pontiac Vibe FWD - Auto
A perfect suburban commuter. Excellent seating for 4 adults in an upright (back friendly) position. The build quality on my vehicle is supurb...no defects after 8K miles other than a storage compartment latch. Drive train is smooth and the shifting precise. Gas mileage is 32mgp in suburban driving more on the highway. The car is solid all the way around and handles well in all driving conditions.
Fun Car
The GT version is fun to drive. The corners, the straight-a-ways, on-ramps, off-ramps(braking), are all fun to do. The only problem I have had, was snow. The engine is an all aluminum engine and doesn't do to hot in the snow. But other than that, the car is quick off the line. Kinda sluggish in the low end torque area, but when you hit 6000rpm all the way to 8k, hold on. Gas mileage is good also. Driving from Virginia to Minnesota, you have to cross through the mountains, which I might add is a blast, I still get great gas mileage. I never want to get stuck someone in the boondocks of West Virginia and in the Vibe I don't have to worry about that.
