What a car. I owned Nissans my whole life, but decided to spend my money on Uncle Sam, and let me tell you it's the same if not better. This car is filled with Fun and perfect for 1-2 kid car seats.

Great Car For The Price

2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Wagon AWD (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I purchased this car due to its american styling and toyota engineering a great combination, along with 30+mpg. I found that a the heart of the vibe is the toyota corolla engine/transmission as well as some other carry overs from toyota and is better looking than the matrix. So far ive been very pleased with the handling/ride quality and how quiet it is on the freeway and lots of pep at freeway speeds. The dash is laid out nice and the styling circular designs are a plus. Plenty of backseat space for my 3 year old and really like how the middle and passenger seats fold flat and have protective covering on the backside. Very pleased and i like this alliance of GM/Toyota Toyota at a GM price.

Nice Compact Car

Coming from a 2004 Malibu V6, the fuel economy on this car is a welcome change. For the engine size, this thing puts out a lot of power. Occasionally, I am left wanting during passing maneuvers, but for the most part, no complaints. The engine does get a little loud when the RPMs get up there, but it is never unwelcome. Interior-wise, the car is very comfortable and all the controls are well placed. Gauges are bright and easy to read and the car handles superbly. I would not hesitate to buy another one of these great little cars.

Small car gas mileage with an SUV feel

My family was outgrowing our small Chevy Cavalier, but I didn't want to give up the 34 MPG I was getting on the drive to work. I researched about 10 different vehicles, and the Vibe just cannot be beat for both price and fuel economy. Not to mention the rear cargo area that my sons can toss their football gear into! And the car is great looking---kind of like a cross between a station wagon & SUV. I also noticed that it rides "too well" at higher speeds. I have to keep my eye on the speedometer while on the interstate because twice I found myself driving way too fast without even knowing it! I recommend using your cruise control until you're used to how well the vehicle drives.
