More interior space than you throw a stick at. More reliable than the majority of cars on the road. Very comfortable, good all-round visibility and comfort - even for tall people. Respectable economy & cost, sensible maintenance coats - nothing to complain about. I have tools and bulky kit to drive around with, and with its 2x side doors access, I find this vehicle 10x better than a truck. I would strongly recommend this vehicle - perhaps especially for a New driver who does not want maintenance/repair surprises.

A car with heart--it would go forever it seems

Given the snow and curving hills where I live I should have bought the 4wd model. It was with sadness I said good-by to my 10 year old car. It had a lot more to give, , had good body condition, handled well, and was very reliable until the end. The end was caused because it was failing Vermont state inspection due to the evaporative system sensors. I doubt I'll ever have a car with such good mileage, good design, and reliability.

First car was a 2006 vibe and have since owned two 2008’s. Hands down the best vehicles I’ve owned for the price. Amazingly reliable, fuel efficient, easy to maintain/work on, and great cargo space especially with the seats down. All have gotten well over 300,000 km (odometer maxes at 299k) with no issues. Highly recommend - Toyota reliability at a fraction of the cost!

I love my bive, i bought it new with 4 miles on it. I have had it 10 yrs. has been a great car for me, if I had the money and could get another car I would search for another Vibe... I am sadden they don't make them any longer. I don't like sun roofs, but the inside of the 2004 vibe is the style I would search for .. 2004--2008/// Great car in my eyes and heart.. Love my vibe wouldn't get another if I had to and couldn't get a Vibe I'd get the same company that made mine a Toyota.. maybe a Matres.. I would have to do some searching...
