2008 Pontiac Vibe Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Pontiac Vibe appreciate its reliability, good gas mileage, and comfortable seating. They like that it’s a fun car to drive and have noted its practicality for students or commuting. However, some drivers dislike the small engine performance and handling in challenging conditions like mud or snow. Additionally, when all seats are occupied, it can feel cramped."
The engine is very noisy and buzzy. The seat comfort is top notch with plenty of legroom even for rear seat passengers. Acceleration is only adequate and handling is not crisp, but adequate for most routine manuevers. Build quality is impressive.
May 23, 2008I enjoyed driving this car except when all seats were being used, then it felt like it was too small. This car would make a great student car or work car because of it good combined city/highway gas mileage.
June 23, 2012Not great for a long trip, due to the size. MPG and build quality are great. For a compact I liked the looks and it is actually kind of fun to drive. As far as smaller cars you can count on this is all of that. I bought a 100,000 mile warranty and tires and oil is all I needed.

December 20, 2012Pretty decent car, kind of small engine though, and doesn't handle very well in mud or snow. Really great gas mileage, averages around 32 to 33 most of the time. Love the sun roof. Great car for cost, very fun to drive.
