We Love This Car!
We bought this car after struggling to find a fuel efficient wagon-esque vehicule. We looked at everything on the market, and nothing else (but the Matrix, which is kinda ugly) came close mileage-wise. It's sporty, fun to drive (I'm 36), great looking, with surprisingly large storage given the size. No problems at all after 8K miles.
The most fun I've had driving a car
I looked at every car with this body style, ie: Aveo, Matrix, Spectra5. This car is so fun. I feel like I'm in an SUV because I sit up so high. The interior has more room than my 4 door sedan but the body is about 4ft smaller. Acceleration is steady, braking not too hard. I've drive 160 miles and used a bit more than a qtr. tank. I do not have the engine noise that I've read about in some reviews. Maybe I'm just not that spoilt. I drove a lot of cars and read a lot of reviews...this is the car I bought. Even with it's little quirks, in my opinion even with the expensive cars out there, the reliability and reviews prove this to be the car to pick.

The Vibe is a nice car for retired folks
I have about 3200 miles driven and am well pleased with the vehicle. I researched and test drove many vehicles. This car met the needs of our family. My wife and I are recently retired and went down to only one car. The Vibe gives us a roomy interior for carring home groceries and for hauling materials for my home inprovement projects. The gas mileage is pretty much on target. I do lose about 2.5 MPG when I use the air and also when the air temp. drops below freezing. The head room is amazing, I am 6'-3" and even with a sun roof there is more than I need. Leg and hip room are also quite adequate.The Vibe seem to handle very well and the engine is responsive. The style is also great.
Love the car, but hate the interior!!
I love the vibe, but I always get shocked by the interior everytime I exit the car. And it is very rough! The gas mileage is excellent! I have no idea why but we just had to replace the computer because our check engine light was coming on and they said when it shows the code it was showing, GM said to replace the computer, so we're hoping that's not an on going problem. The brakes do squeak, but not all the time. Over all the vibe is a fun car to own!
Poor interior design and quality
I bought this car because Consumer Report recommeded it. I cancelled my subscription. The location of the air and heater controls is a nightmae with an automatic. I have large hands. :-( Also get a scratch on the cheap plastic interior, it will never come out. I have never owed such a cheaply made car. Other than that, the paint came off, the brakes squeal, the front seat is a nightmare for comfort, Bottom line is that car really SUCKS and G/M should be ashamed to sell it.
