My Vibe saved my life

My parents bought me a new 2005 Vibe On May 25,2005. I was in a terrible accident August 9, 2005 My car was hit in the drivers door by another car going 40-45mph the force of the impact pushed my car across the street and into a pole. I got out of my car and walked away from the accident with only a sprained neck and a bruised shoulder...my passenger was unhurt. My car was totaled by the insurance company with over $13,000 worth of damage. I bought the Vibe because I loved how it looks but the 5 star safety rating was the reason my parents wanted me to get this car and I am alive today because of it. I am buying another Vibe this week.

My vibe is an all wheel drive and I love it! I didnt really know why my boyfriend insisted on the all wheel drive until this winter. My car handled better in the ice storm in Ohio than his 60,000 SUV!!

On or Off-road, The AWD Vibe's a Winner

I'm a 55-year-old independent documentary film- maker and freelance journalist who travels extensively to get the story. Since purchasing my AWD Vibe in April of this year, I've put 14,000 miles on her without any problems -- most of the miles on the interstates... but I've also taken The Vibe off-road in the sand, rocks, washes and gullies of the Sonora Desert; crossed over the Rockies three times; and zipped down unimproved roads through several National Forests. Vibe's peppy performance is adequate without being special. P.S. I'm 6' tall and weigh 250 lbs, but The Vibe comfortably fits me, plus my luggage and equipment bags, and has room to spare.

we have been very pleased with the vibe. we have two young kids and the vibe handles our family needs very well. flexible and roomy and very fuel effiecient - especially on hwy. the compact size makes the vehicle easy to park and maneuver in the city, but the vehicle rides solidly on the hwy. love the sporty styling. it's a great- looking vehicle that still is useful for family. entry and egress is very good.

This is the first vehicle I've owned that I like even more now than the day I bought it. Great gas mileage, fun to drive and plenty of cargo space. I have not experienced any problems or concerns with this car, and it has a very solid, well-built feel. I am very satisified with my Vibe and highly recommend it to others!
