2005 Pontiac Vibe

Pros: Great Styling, Superb Gas Mileage, Lots Of Interior Room

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Great Styling, Great Gas Mileage And Super Fun To Drive!

Review: INTRO While on a recent business trip to Phoenix, AZ I had a rental car from Enterprise and I was very excited when they told me it would be a 2005 Pontiac Vibe. These vehicles had interested me since their release back in 2003 and now i would ...

Pros: Good mileage, spacious, roof rack

Cons: Do not have transponder key as Matrix does

The Bottom Line: Great choice if you need a spacious, flexible family car but don't want an expensive SUV.

Review: I checked out both Toyota Matrix and the Vibe and finally decided on the Vibe. They are the same under the hood (same engine as a Corolla), and different by body style and packaging. Things that attracted me are the roof rack, standard fog lamp, wider ...

Pros: peppy engine, roomy, lots of headroom, very practical, good towing strength for 4 cylinders

Cons: engine noise at low rpms, no arm rests, overly sensitive cruise control

The Bottom Line: if you want a 4 cylinder car buy this one. roomy, practical, well engineered, good mileage, and kind of sporty looking.

Review: i read the other reviews on this car and they seem planted by pontiac, they're so positive....and indeed the car is great. but i thought i'd write to highlight a few of the drawbacks, just so you get a fair and balanced opinion. i too first saw the car ...

Pros: Great gas mileage on the basic model anyway, comfortable, spacious

Cons: The seat belt alarm is annoying

The Bottom Line: Buy this car if you have two kids or even three. It feels high like an SUV but safe.

Review: My wife and I were searching for a new car that would offer space for when we have kids, but still get great gas mileage for those long trips to see the in-laws. I also have lower back pain and many times after a 2.5 hour or 6 hour drive my back just ...

Pros: Nice interior, chrome trimmed instrumentation, nice leather.

Cons: Air conditioning cannot cool rear of car. Flimsy & cheap looking cargo cover.

Review: Just bought a 2005 Pontiac Vibe last weekend. Got the moon and tunes and power package with leather interior ($22k list price, out the door for a little over $18 w/ the GM employee discount and rebate). It's a great little car for the price! Well put ...

Pros: Great MPG, comfort, handling, style, price. Also love the Moons and Tunes package.

Cons: Wish it had arm rests.

Review: This is the pick of the bunch and Pontiac really needs to realize what a gem it is. The impressive peppy little engine, lots of room for me and my family. And the best part is we took a trip to Wisconsin from Tennessee and got a great 37.38 MPG....WOW! ...

Pros: Amazingly practical, Stylish, Nimble, High MPG, Lots of optional features. More options than Matrix

Cons: All Minor: Hatch cover poorly designed, moonroof shade can be closed with moonroof tilted up

Review: Bought a loaded Vibe 2 months ago after comparing it with the Matrix, and absolutely love it. It is so versatile everybody that sees it is amazed. With split rear seats (which fold completely flat) and forward folding front seat, it can carry 8 foot ...

Pros: Good Gas, Sporty, Multi Functional, Zippy, Roof Rack, Toyota Powered, Reliable, Long Term, DIFFERENT!!

Cons: None

Review: Bough a left over '03 model in March 0f '04. Got a great deal, $14,000.00. 5 spd, Moons and Toons package, all I needed. Anyway, I've had it for a year and have put over 10K mile on it. No problems! I do 50/50 city/highway driving and am getting 30 ...

Pros: Folding seats, gas mileage, easy handling

Cons: Exterior paint, no armrest

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car because of the price, gas mileage and all the folding seats make it easy to haul things.

Review: I bought this car brand new in '05 and have been driving it daily. I'm up to 64000 miles. I drove a mini-van for 8 years and downsized to the Vibe. I am very happy with the performance and handling of the car. It is easy to drive and park. There are not ...

Pros: zippy car with good gas mileage

Cons: none that i've found

The Bottom Line: Great car for zipping around in with friends - good gas mileage.

Review: I just got a 2005 Vibe about 3 weeks ago and have fallen in love! Its a sporty little car with pretty good gas mileage, something that is needed in this day and age. I love the chrome dash that lights up Extremely well at night, its very bright compared ...
