Depends On The Person — Performance- has a suprising amount of pickup for a 4cyl I previously drove a Durango. Handling is good. No ABS for some reason. Build Quality- The dealer didn't do any of the 60k repairs so we did. Road noise blocking isn't the best. But has Toyota's reliability without the cost. Cost of ownership- cheap on gas Fun Factor- fun to drive, but hard to take on bad dirt roads.

Great Little Car For 90% Of What Life Threw At Me! — great value for the money, I would strongly recommend this car to anyone. The only real downfall I found was that in order to get the all wheel drive system, you had to purchase the car with an automatic. Unfortunately, with only 123 hp, the manual transmission was needed for any 'spirited' driving. For the snow season, a set on Bridgestone Blizzak Revo1's helped with traction. | ||

Going To Miss This Car. — I loved this car for when we had a large dog and just one kid but now that I have two kids I can't take the dog with when we go on trips. This car was good at hauling cargo or large boxed items by folding down the back seats. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2004 Pontiac Vibe GT Review
ProsModerate speed and above average handling for the price. Good brakes. 6-disc CD changer, power everything, sunroof. Even has a standard two-prong power outlet. ConsNot very sharp handling or power delivery. Build quality still feels "budget". The GT requires premium gas.

A Step Up From A Grandma Car — Considering I was driving a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker before this (hey, it was free.) this car's a blast. After a few months behind the wheel, the 180 horsies CAN be fun, but man you've got to wring the car's neck to get all the hp. For a budget car, the brakes are pretty fabulous, and the handling is a little loose, but not bad. "Lift", the noticeable boost you get between 6400-8200 rmps (yes, those numbers are correct. It revs forever.), is a hoot, but normal driving conditions only allow lift in first and second. Unless you don't mind hitting 90 on the freeway. Overall, fun. Build quality isn't the best, but it's 95 percent Toyota so I can't complain too much. I average 26-28 mpg mixed driving. |
