Oh how I love my Vibe!!! Good looks (mine is stealth Black) Great MPG (28- 30 in the winter with AWD and lots of warm up idle time) Incredibly comfortable seats, Best Visibility EVER, Handles like a charm in snow, Fun to drive, can haul an amazing amount of stuff, Practical, Fun and Affordable. A BIG little car. If you haven't driven one of these yet-go for it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Every one tha has seen it, sat in it or driven it loves it!

16 years ago (2006), I purchased a 2006 Pontiac Vibe with less than 3,000 miles on it. This car has been amazing. Only three repairs over the years, two related to GM recall to replace computer and air bag, and the third one when I was rear-ended at a traffic stop. It is almost 2022, I am still driving this 16 years old jewel. Everything, all system still works on it, and not once have I had any mechanical, or other problems with it. I highly recommend this vehicle. Too bad they discontinue its production. Best car ever.

First New Car Owned

First New Car ever, 10/25/2006
2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

We bought this car after quite a bit of reviewing similar cars. We liked the way the back seats fold flat. We compared it with the Matrix, but we didn't like the looks of the Matrix as well. We needed a practical car to fit our dog, and to haul stuff on occasions. This vehicle is working out very well. We bought the 5 speed, no bells or fancy stuff. Car gets 34+ MPG in the city, and gets 37+ MPG on the highway. With careful driving could get more MPG maybe 35-38 plus. It's fun to drive, so it is not easy to keep the foot of the gas...the wife would have liked the automatic better, but she is liking the stick now. The vibe was a good buy decision for us, handles great, good visibility.

We picked up our Frosty White 2005 Vibe this week..and LOVE IT! It is such a sporty looking, fun-to-drive vehicle! We traded in our 2005 Equinox due to it's uncomfortable leather seats and horrible gas mileage....wow! Did we hit big with our 2005 Vibe! The seats are so comfortable, the gas mileage is great! It is a pleasure to drive. It has responsive steering. The visibility when driving is great, no blind spots. The back seat is roomy, even for a taller person. We are so glad we bought this car! We could travel cross country in it, the seats are so comfortable, you feel like you are sitting in a cloud! Overall, you can't find a better ride for the value than this Vibe! ;-)
