2008 Pontiac Vibe
Great little car. Perfect for my needs. excellent
Pros: gas mileage and 4Door hatchback
Cons: The fact that I can't get another one.
I've gone to NY and back and the trip in my vibe is quite comfortable. Handles well. There's really nothing that I don't like about this car. P.S. Under the skin, it's actually a TOYOTA MATRIX.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes

2005 Pontiac Vibe
The vehicle I still love
Pros: Body style and engine really are fantastic!
Cons: Loss of the high output Celica engine.
The 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT is going to reach 5 years, the longest time for me to be in love with a car. Too bad it cannot be built today. The high output 1800cc Toyota 4cylinder tune by Yamaha and also use in the Lotus two-seater series, the Exige, really can perform in all respects. The 5speed manual still works wonderfully, and gas-wise it does 28 to 38 mpg, usually 30 around town. It's a beauty, and sad that no more will be built. The EPA doesn't approve of the exhaust anymore. It's a fun machine! Much better looking than the Toyota Matrix, made in the same factory by NUMMI. Pontiac designers did a wonderful thing!- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes

2009 Pontiac Vibe
Does all that is expected
Pros: overall competency
Cons: Numb Steering
The car hauls a lot of 'stuff', has plenty of room inside, and is comfortable. Has a lot of features. Competent on road, but lacks 'Pontiac excitement' (average acceleration and steering is a little numb). The ride and handling, however, are fine and it more than keeps up with traffic. Overall, exactly what I expected.- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
