Good Changeover

We've owned a Caravan (V6)for the past 18 years and decided to try something with better gas mileage. So far we are very pleased with the switch. The Vibe seems to be comparible on interstate as far as power goes, gas mileage was 34 mpg on our first road trip and the passenger and driver compartment was more comfortable than the van. There was actually more leg & foot room. The only downfall is the cargo space but we hope to take advantage of the roof rack for that. Finding crossbars for the roof rack on a Vibe seems to be a challenge. I should have gotten a Vibe years ago.

This is a great car. Me and my wife have had this car for almost 2 years now and have had not one problem yet. Have 37,000 miles on it, from going to L.A.(Disneyland) at least 11 times since we bought it. Nothing to complain about very roomy and very comfortable. Tested not filling up once going from San Fran to LA and got there with some fumes left to spare (trip miles were 410!!!) seems to get better gas mileage as the years pass.

Me and My Vibe

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 :)

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.
