Sadly, this car (or any Pontiac) is no longer made, but if a used one is being considered, I highly recommend it.

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.
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
Great runabout

We switched from a 5th wheel to a motorhome, and needed a small car to tow behind. The Vibe combines the japanese reliability with american style. It is fun to drive and great on gaz compared to my GMC 2500. The interior is roomy and flexible - I can put my bikes inside, which I could not in the Toyota Yaris I considered. The seats are comfy and the controls are well placed. I bought a set of 15 Inch Corolla rims along 195/65-15 snow tires - they fit perfectly - and I am having fun in the snow. With the various rebates, the Vibe came in at a lower price than the Toyota Matrix. This 57 years old owner is fully satisfied with his new toy!
Good car for a Republican.

I'd rather have a dozen root canals than buy a new car, but after returning from serving in the Peace Corps we needed dependable transportation. I researched new vehicles a lot, with economy, price, and dependability as goals. The Vibe seemed to have a lot of room and promised good mileage. We got a 2004 demo with 4,500 miles and have put 16,000 more on it in a year. Drives easy, solidly built, plenty of room, no problems at all. It's really my wife's car, but I drive on trips. We got the auto trans, I would have liked the six speed manual but of course GM won't let you have it without the turbo engine. It's been a good choice, I recommend the Vibe without reservation. I'm 57 years old.
GOOD BUT COULD BE BETTER

This car is fun to drive and gets great gas milege. The interior and exterior are both comfortable and stylish, but the exterior paint is of poor quality. The car is also very reliable, but not fast.
