Don't even think about getting one!

The car is just plain poorly made. Great at the dealership and first 1,000 miles. After that, it's all a sad story. The car changed and the interior started to fall apart. There is a leak that won't go away and the seat now feels like a bag of potatos! I am VERY disappointed in this GM offering and now see why the car was so cheap. Any manufacturer that offers "employee pricing" is in deep trouble. I dislike this car so much, I took it back and paid a small fortune to get out of it and into another car. Do yourself a favor, don't even bother with this vehicle.

My Swiss Army Car

We call our Vibe a Swiss Army Car. It hauls big things, is fun to drive, parks easily, and is comfortable for four (five if #5 is smallish). I love the tie-downs in the back. I will be buying another one when I'm ready but I still love this one. One thing, mine came without antilock brakes. I assume that they are all equipped with what I believe to be as much a necessity as seat belts now.

I Feel Like A Kid Again!

I love my Vibe! Its hip, cool, socially responsible, very usable, easy to handle and park, quick, and makes me proud to own it. Here in Michigan, a great car must get great traction in ice and snow. My Vibe does! Our summers are long and beautiful; a prolonged heat wave is not uncommon. My Vibe's A/C unit pumps out gobs of super cool air even when its 95F w/95% humidity. I opted for the Moons & Tunes package, with a great moonroof and a surprisingly powerful concert quality AM/FM/CD stereo that cranks! It's safe with belts, airbags, 4 pillar side panels, & excellent visibility/maneuverability. It's interior is so flexible; I can carry almost anything. My Vibe makes me feel like a kid again!
