2005 Pontiac Vibe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

RELIABLE! Even though only FWD, pretty good in snow. I have driven it to work in the east of Cleveland snow belt for over ten years. Always made it to work, even when my AWD co-workers could not. It is a great little car. At 220,000 miles, I now need new shocks. Just keep up with oil change and it will keep running.

Very dependable. Low maintenance. Economical. Nice cargo space. Comfortable. Sharp.

This car has proven to be a dream! There is no lag in the acceleration or breaking. In fact, the acceleration can even be a bit touchy at times if you're not used to it. It comes with automatic traction control, but even when you turn it off, it still handles like a dream. In the few years that I've owned it I've only had to perform standard maintenance. It was taken to the dealership once to have the PCM replaced due to a factory recall. The interior is clean and simple with black leather seats. The exterior is a matching clean and basic in a bright red. It gets great gas mileage and the cost of maintenance has been little to none other than oil changes, filters and breaks. I love this car! It's functional and pet friendly with the plastic rear cargo space. The front passenger seat folds down, a feature which my daughter loves because she can feel like she's in the front seat while still safely secured in her booster.

Good car although cosmetically having a few issues for only being 6 years old. Highly recommend. Has motor and transmission from Toyota. 30 MPH. Perfect for basic transportation. 72000 miles and has a nice sporty appearance. I will never sell.

It's a sporty looking four door with cargo space, american model badging but a toyota drive train (motor and transmission) - which means it'll run for a long time and not get key'ed in my home town that builds GMC trucks. The cargo space is lined with hard plastic to keep it easy to clean, fold down the seats and you have enough room for an 8' ladder with the hatch closed. The motor and tranny are the same as the Toyota Corola. A peppy four cylinder sips gas at 33MPG highway and with a five speed manual - still lets you wind it out to the 6500 RPM redline quickly. Overall I like this car. It's not my favorite, but not close to getting rid of it even at 79K miles have ticked by.

The Pontiac Vibe is a great little car which is the same as the Toyota Matrix. And we all know how reliable Toyota is. great gas mileage and the cargo space is more than you would expect from a small hatchback

This was a good car. I loved it very much. Had pretty good gas mileage for the type of car it was. It got approximately 26 city/ 32 highway. It had an awesome amount of cargo capacity: 49 cubic feet with rear seats folded down. I used it many times for work and moving. Great car. Pretty fun to drive and I just loved it!

This vehicle is a partnership with Toyota and GM. Its a Toyota engine and transmission. It gets 30mpg and has a lot of room for a small car. Im 68 and can drive it fairly comfortably even with my youngest child behind me.

Multipurpose! You can put just about anything in this car. I'm amazed what will fit despite it's small size. It is large enough for me to drive comfortably. MPG is good. The quality of materials and assembly appears solid. Nimble enough to be fun to drive. Just a great all-around vehicle.

One of the most underrated cars of 2003-10. Great mileage, mechanicals(Toyota) and long lasting with a large cargo capacity. A used car sleeper! Toyota Matrix is a kissing cousin.
