Got 30 mpg on the first tank and looking for better as I break it in. Fun to drive and handles great on the Highway. Engine performs very well ( Heck.... it's a Toyota ) Not a complaint yet. Love passing up gas stations.

Great Little Workhorse

76,000 miles and more than a few scratches and it still elicits positive remarks on its looks. The Pontiac is more attractive than the Toyota version. It can haul so much. Mine is a working vehicle. Very well designed for this. Love the permanent tie-downs, wish there were more. moveable tie-downs not as well designed as they might be, but I use them. I like it in white, but wish it had black bumpers to not show the scratches so much. Great car!

FUN (LITTLE) CAR

Accelerates / Handles nicely - only beef - wish it rode a little bit more quietly. Has more styling / options available than the Toyota Matrix ... even though they are considered sister vehicles.

I bought this car as a basic model, as I personally didn't want all the hoopla. I can't say enough about this car. I traded my 2004 Mustang in (loved it too,just too low). I have moved with this car, taken extensive vacations in this car, and well, everyone is looking for a car that gets good gas mileage, thinking it never existed, well I still get 34 mpg. all the time! We always check this as it seems surreal at times.I guess all those Honda car owners are gritting their teeth now.

2nd Vibe

We just bought our 2nd Vibe! The ride quality, solid feel, gas mileage and cargo capacity of my wife's Vibe just couldn't be beat. I drove a base front wheel drive but it just didn't have the same solid feel. We bought our first Vibe last year in April and have been very pleased. Great cars and fun to drive!

I have always had Toyota's and was hesitant to buy a Pontiac, but the engine is the same one they put in the Toyota Matrix. I love the gas mileage I get with my Vibe. And I love the fact that I don't have to 'crawl' in and out of my car (bad back). Very roomy and spacious, can carry quite a load. I have not had any problems with my Vibe either, that's a big +. Very happy with my car 1.5 years later.

Got it last week after ten years of Outbacks... less $, no heated seats or mirrors, but peppy, a little more noisy but more room for rear passengers, lots of pizzazz, better braking distance, WAY better price. Still have '00 Outback SW. Only tows 1500, vs. 2700 now for OUtback, and 2200 when I bought mine,....but I did not get it to tow. 28.5 mpg last tank of gas ;D, about 25 my first... I usually get city avg mileage from EPA, 21 or 22 avg on Outback; 15 avg summer on Chev Trlblazer EXT.

RELIABLE GAS CONSUMER

Bought car for 13000 out the door in 2008. Could not be happier with reliability and mpgs. Averages 28-30 in town, 33-35 highway. Not a performer though very practical. A little noisy and under powered. Plenty of room for a small family. If performance doesn't matter to your driving needs, this is a perfect car.
