Bought the car over 3 years ago new. Don't drive it as much as I would like, because I have too other cars. This car is so pratical, its not even funny. I use it mostly in the summer to haul my two kayaks around. I can get one kayak inside with the front seat folded down and still close the hatch. Amazing. I bought the GM crossbars and have two kayak holders for the top most of the time. Gas mileage is around 30 all the time. Haven't got much more than 33. I think its because of the cross bars and the fact that I don't have many miles on it. Looking forward to many more trouble free miles. Only complaints are the plastic body cladding is coming off around the back wheel wells.
good little car

I purchased my Pontiac Vibe in 2006. I have yet to have a problem with it. It has been an extremely reliable car. Not one problem to report. It seems that the car gets better gas mileage as it gets older. I am averaging around 31 miles per gallon on highway which is most of my time.
Very good car

I went from a Grand Prix to the Vibe. I wanted better gas mileage (which I got) but plenty of storage room. Overall I love the vehicle. I'm averaging 30 miles to the gallon and think it could get better. There are 3 things that I miss from the Grand Prix that I think Pontiac should make standard: stereo controls on the steering wheel, power drivers-side seats, and the radio that stays on even after you shut the car off (until you open the door). I am surprised at how much I miss those features.

I've had my Vibe now for a whole 3 weeks and I love it!! I have owned 3 other new cars since my Vibe and not one compare to the comfort and reliabilty of the Vibe. Best practical car out there.

I purchased my 06 vibe as the new 07's were coming to market. So to say the least I got an awesome car for the price. Mine is a 5 speed manual with the 1.8L. It has plenty of pep for a smaller engine and awesome fuel economy. I mostly do city driving and after 7 months my MPG increased from 31 to 34. I love the cargo area and the roomy cockpit what a surprise for such a small car. I car pool with 2 of my hockey buddies and there is more then enough room for our 3 large hockey bags and sticks. The fit and finish is a little on the weak side but what can I expect for a car under 18,000.
One Fantastic Ride

I owned a 2005 Vibe since 2006. It had 21000 miles on it when I bought it. I drove that car for 3+ years and had the mileage up to 112000 when Bambi took me out of the race. I was sooo mad.. There was no thinking about it and I went right out and bought another one. I loved the first one and I'm still loving the second one. Other than normal maintenance I've never had either car in for any problems.!! Just oil and filters and replacing the tires. You can not go wrong with a Vibe !! Too bad that Pontiac is going out of busines as this particular type of Pontiac is a sure-fire winner. I will be sure to purchase another one before you can't find them anymore.

I switched to a vibe after owning a Dodge Ram 1500, mainly because of the gas mileage. I really enjoy this little car better than I expected. I forgot how fun it is to drive a car. I'm a big guy (6'4" 310 lbs) and this car has plenty of room for me. I love all the storage compartments everywhere. If you're in the market for good gas mileage and lots of seating and cargo room, this is the car for you.
Good little car.

It's a functional wagon. Good MPGs, but with any car it's all in how you drive it. The 5spd manual is fairly fun. The steering is responsive and effective. It won't win awards for looks, but I bought her at 88,000 miles and hope to keep it until it dies. You really don't discover the usefulness in having a wagon until you own one. The stereo layout looked too 90s. Not acceptable for a car made in 2006.

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.
