Used 2008 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Great Car, Great Rebates
We were looking for a family car and came across the Matrix and then realized the Vibe was less $ and had a lot of rebates. We like the Vibe styling better the the Matrix. We have the base model with no options, it's perfect for us. It is a undertaking to make sure all 5 doors are locked. Good power/gearing. A/C seems on the light side. Can't turn off head lights at night! Check the vibe forums to find out how to turn off seat belt beep for passenger seat (if you put a backpack on the passenger seat it will loudly beep at you. Blind spots are bad, buy blind spot mirrors. Nice stock tires. Lots of cool little storage areas. Love how the seats fold down. Liked 08 better than 09.
So good I bought three!
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!

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.

2004 Pontiac Vibe 4 door.hatchback
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...
