After a terrible experience with a VW Jetta (it lived in the shop), I was looking for a solid, reliable vehicle with good fuel economy. So far the Vibe fits the bill. I've had ZERO problems so far in a time period that the Jetta would've filled with one thing after another. I did a lot of research and was very impressed by the philosophy and reputation of the NUMMI plant where the Vibe is built. It certainly shows in the final product.

We bought the Vibe and went from the panhandle of FL to PA non stop, and at 6' and 275lbs and a bad back I knew I was inviting trouble. Not at all! Got out of the car and felt great. Turned around and drove back to FL and then to IL. Seat adjustments are great! 30 mpg at 75 mph and much better in town. Traded in a '97 Grand Prix and although I miss the HP of the V6 this is not bad in town. On the highway it needs additional spunk. When in cruise it continually wants to downshift to go over the overpasses, so I disengage the cruise and manually feed it the gas before I get to the hill. Lots of standard options. Good feel and versatile. We tinted the windows though.

Bought my Vibe with 24,000 well maintained miles on it. I traded in a PT Cruiser which I dearly loved but constant electrical /quality issues finally forced me to move on. My Vibe has been a joy, absolutely bulletproof and delivers a steady 30 -31 mpg in combined city/ highway driving. The Vibe does have considerable road and wind noise (at least compared to the PT). The cars handling is quite good and acceleration is decent with the automatic. Not especially fast but ok for my needs. I like the older (pre '09) Vibes for the side molding and fairings. Should offer some protection in the parking lot wars. Certainly better than the 09's which haven't any side protection at all.

Love this car - owned two SUVs previously but had to give them up due to distances traveled and gas expenses. Found this little gem and I feel right at home - sitting up high and feeling safe while getting the added bonus of good gas mileage. Performs very well; quite zippy. People (teens included) like the car's performance and appearance. We love the audio system, sun roof and fast-responding heater. It is keeps us warm! We are ready for the nasty winter :)
I'm happy.

Excellent car. Rented one for a trip from Texas to Colorado. The car performed well-even in the mountains. Hit a big mule deer in W. Texas. We were fine-but the car seemed pretty damaged (160 mile tow). Even so, I liked the car so much I bought one. Looked at the Matrix, but toyota doesn't come down on price much. The Pontiac dealer knocked off $1,000 and then another $1,000 because I was not a pontiac owner. Upon signing the papers I noticed another $600 off ($2600 total off $19,500 MSRP)because Champion Pontiac wants to give the lowest price. In and out in 2 hours.
