I purchased this car on July 5th,2005.The salesman searched the entire state until he found a model I requested:5-speed, loaded with everything but ABS. I am completely happy with my purchase, and can reccomend it to anyone who values fuel economy; a spunky engine; and a high cuteness factor. All of the options I requested are just what one would expect and hope for: they work,and they look good doing it. One more thing: I have four dogs(big ones) and there is plenty of room when the rear seats are down.And I think it could even be used for camping(sans dogs) for me and my squeeze.Lots and lots of room. I love this car.

Practical, Sporty Looking City Transport

I've had my Vibe for over a year. I am very pleased with it's practicality. It replaced an Isuzu Amigo which was pure joy for 11 years. With the Vibe you get sensibleness - good gas mileage, surprising cargo capability, and a slightly higher (for a small car) seat height. Despite its sporty appearance, it's no sports car, and it could use a little more power for mad city traffic. But when you figure in the good mileage, it's generally worth the trade off.

Keeping it until the wheels fall off!!

I bought it new off the lot in '06. Now has 46K miles. Only problem was needed a new computer last week. Still under extended warranty for a few more months. Fuel economy great! Hit a deer in 07 and dented it up, got it fixed and back on the road. Since the trade in has gone through the basement, I'm keeping her until the wheels fall off. Got a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo to drive in winter now. The Vibe didn't like the extremely rough winter we had this year, but who did?

Purchased 2 years ago, now 19,000 Miles. Mostly city driving. 25-28 mpg.with an automatic. Car now carry scars of my driving ability. But I still enjoy driving it. Good quality for the dollar. Gets good mileage. Like the dash layout and large cargo area. Generally pleased with Vibe. Have had problems with the "idle". The engine wants to race after warm up. Had to remove back seat head rest because of blind stop. But all bell and whistle still work. Needs telescoping wheel for more comfort. Cup holders are only for one person at a time. But if I had a choose I would by my 3nd Vibe.

This is a fun to drive vehicle. It has a lot of power for only 4 cylinders and has excellent fuel economy
