Vibe
I love it for the versatility!
Cheap and cheery
I needed to economize and fast, so traded in my 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT with AWD for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with AWD. While I miss the pickup and heft of the Magnum, I certainly don't miss the frequent trips to the gas station. Plus, the Vibe hugs the road and is surprisingly peppy for a car that gets great mileage (well, compared to the PT Cruiser I had before the Magnum, which didn't get such great mileage, come to think of it). While I was afraid I was going to resent driving around in an economy- mobile (and honestly, I will wish Pontiac offered heated seats when winter returns), I'm quite pleased with it. And my partner, a snob where American cars are concerned, enjoys driving it too.

Vibe
When I bought this car I lived in VA an moved to CO. It was roomie inside an made for a great drive across country. I had to stop 3 times to get gas an was relaxed the whole way.
RUNS GREAT
I have had the car for six months and so far so good. Needs more power and fuel milage is poor

From the first time I drove my Vibe, I was completely satisfied with ALMOST every detail. The only exceptions would be the compromised visibility due to the wide plastic rear window supports and the cramped control panel when the gear shift is in park. The gas cap release lever could be a bit larger. I am a heavy man but the seats and leg room are still extremely comfortable. The gas mileage is about 30 mpg, even with the a/c. The car is 'tight' (no squeaks) and the ride is excellent for almost any size vehicle. The price was excellent considering the many factory-installed options. Well done, GM!
