Review 2008 Vibe

I was attracted to this car for its potential for versatility and gas mileage. I have owned it for a little over a month, and have been very happy with it so far. It has a fair amount of pep, but will never be mistaken for a six cylinder. To me this is a fair trade-off for the great gas mileage. My average mileage has been 26 MPG with heavy city driving. The steering is responsive on dry pavement and the car is very predictable driving in the snow. This car is a great car to run around town with your kids or take a trip

This is a great car getting 34 mph highway with a manual. Capable of 150- 200 K easy. Too bad it takes Toyota to design such a great car for GM.

A great versatile economical fun car

This is proof that you can get great fuel economy without buying a hybrid. drives like a sports car, handles well carries our big Bernese mtn. dogs lots of cargo space even for 8 ft. lumber. the vibe is in my opinion much better, and sportier looking than than the Toyota Matrix version. I get consistently 34 to 36 mpg. which gives me around a 400 mile range I average 37 mpg with non-ethanol gas. It handles well in the snow with the front wheel drive and my manual transmission (which I had to search for) I traded a gas guzzling trailblazer for it and the vibe is just as much fun to drive. I love this car and would definitely considering buying another at trade in time.

I commute several miles each way and this is the perfect car for me! It's very roomy and comfortable! Not to mention not that bad with gasoline. The interior is what amazes me each time I get into it! I had been driving a smaller model car and this is like driving in a dream after hitting all of the bumps in the car!

Love The Vibe

This is now our second Vibe based on our great experience with our '05 Vibe. It is used as a commuter and vacationing vehicle - it has great fuel economy and comfort for long trips. We are both over 6ft tall and have had trouble finding a comfortable seating arrangement that is not a SUV. Headroom is great but *watch out for the sunroof if your any taller than 6ft*.
