I love my V-Bay

I love my car. I bought it 01/2007 and have put 5k miles on it. It goes like 80 miles before it hits under the F on the gas tank. Gave a 7 for build quality due to the noise when driving on rough surface. I bought base model - and love it. Car does really well - fits my small and large friends who are 300+. Car accelerates quickly. Looked at Matrix and Caliber which are in same class as the Vibe. Looked at the Toyota Yaris as well. Took this car for test drive and bought it same night. This was our 4th car from the dealership and are very happy with it. Hope to keep it for many years

The Vibe provides a great ride and gets super gas mileage. Yeah, the road noise on rough surface roads is a little noisy, so turn up the radio a little, get over it. Enjoy all the other positves about the Vibe. Cruise, great radio sounds, daytime running lights, fog lights, rear opening glass, plastic on the back of the back of the back seats when the seats are folder down for hauling. Storage pockets everywhere, in the doors, center console, left side of dash, glove box, and another storage box under the gear selector. Give it a look, you won't be disappointed.

6 months 21000 miles Salesman Style

Great little car, great comfort, great mileage, great cargo capacity. I am a outside salesman and after 21k miles in 6 months I can say this is one nice car. averaged 38 mpg in the summer about 34-5 in the winter, simply fantastic, very comfortable and this is after at least 4 hours in the car 5 days a week. Dual power outlets keep my laptop on and my phone powered up, have hauled some pretty impressive items for the wagons size "do you have a truck?" nope i have the Vibe. The one complaint I really have is that the handling and steering while quite capable are not fun, but this is coming from someone who drives a miata or a motorcycle, so It's probably more nitpicking than anything

My first Pontiac

I do a lot of stop and go driving and this car keeps me happy zipping from place to place. One annoying thing is the button below the steering column, I bump my knee on it (I'm a short legged gal and I like the steering wheel up close). Also, it's a long reach back to turn the overhead light on and off. Great space in the back, like the way the window will open separately from the hatch. No OnStar, which would have been nice. The hood prop broke almost immediately. Otherwise it's a fun car, great looks, great gas mileage, love the sunroof!

bought on zero interest promotion. broke in on trip to the UP of MI. about a 1,000 mile trip coming and going. rode well--had trouble keeping at speed limit, unless used cruise, as it rode so smoothly. good on gas--about 31 or 32 mpg. don't think it will ever see that magical 34 mpg. city driving is easy. have not got a fillup since back but mileage seems is good.
