2004 Pontiac Vibe consumer reviews

I bought my bright orange Vibe in August of 2003 as an 04 model. Recently passed 50,000 miles and not a single problem so far. Regularly perform oil changes and other recommended maintenance. Very nice little car but don't let the size full you. I can put more stuff in this vehicle than in a Jeep. Rear seats fold forward flat as well as front passenger seat allowing for a long items to be hauled without problems. I am averaging about 27mpg in the city and about 31mpg on the hwy. Max mileage I was able to achieve was 34mpg on a non-stop drive to Toronto. Very nice considering today's gas prices. Exterior is very appealing. Entry and exit is very easy. Driving position is higher than a car and lower than an SUV but does provide a better commanding view of the road. Interior is laid out very nicely, very functional and all the buttons are within easy reach. Cloth seats are supportive and comfortable. Even on the long trips, I never felt tired. Engine is a bit noisy but that is expected from a 4 cylinder car. It doesn't bother me. It is a front wheel drive and it handles OK on the snow. Turning radius is great. Parking is a breeze since it is a relatively small car (shorter than in Civic in length). If you are looking for a dependable, roomy, and economical car, you can't go wrong with a Pontiac Vibe.

I drive this car 80 miles back and forth to work 6 days a week and it still runs like new. Never any problems with anything. gets great gas mileage and is very fun to drive

Fun to drive, durable, reliable and really good on gas. The interior is built to take a beating. I throw bikes INSIDE, skis, wood, etc. The hard plastic floor in the back (and when the seats are down) take it all without a mark. It does a decent job in the snow for its size, but it's no SUV. The gas mileage is actually as advertised. I don't abuse the thing, but I'm not the slowest one out there either and I consistently get mid 30s highway. It's comfortable for long trips too. It's a great car. I'll buy one again when this one gets old if Toyota is still making most of it.

we have about 4 cars in the yard just picking up dust because this is what i drive to work school events or anywhere else.

The car has great gas mileage and tons of storage. It is made with Toyota parts and they are known for quality. Also cool features like the house style outlet in the car. If you are interested in lots of outdoor activities this is the car for you.

Spectacular car in this price range!Moon & Tunes package is very cool: nice stereo! Tons of room for a little car (the SUV that isn't). Excellent for road trips. No mechanical issues (knock on wood). Consumer Reports was very, very right!
