Used 2006 Pontiac Vibe for Sale near Lake City, FL
The 2006 Pontiac Vibe is a sporty wagon/mini-SUV or crossover. Whatever you decide to call it, it's been a big hit for GM, appealing to a youthful market looking for zippy performance as well as practical cargo hauling versatility that suits an active lifestyle.
The 2006 Vibe comes in three trims -- base front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and the sporty GT. All feature a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder DOHC engine, but the GT's has been souped up to hit 164-hp to the 126-hp in the front-wheel drive and 118 in the AWD (undoubtedly because of the extra weight). A 5-speed manual is standard, except on the GT, which comes with a 6-speed manual transmission.
New for 2006 are some instrument updates and a more ergonomically designed center console. Leather seats are a new option as well. Though the 2006 Vibe comes standard with air conditioning, CD, and power windows, more power features, cruise control, OnStar, and a sunroof are favorite options. Rear seats fold flat and the passenger seat also folds down for enough room to fit a passed out basketball player.
Owners love the storage configuration possibilities as well as the overall leg and headroom for passengers. Gas mileage (30/36 mpg) is outstanding, and the engine is powerful enough to add some zip to the driving experience. Drivers also like the AWD capability in their 2006 Vibe. Some common dislikes include excessive road and engine noise and a tendency for a rough ride. Many want more horsepower.
4.4 Overall rating
(16 reviews)Toyota quality, fuel economy and cargo room make the Vibe a great value
This auto has been trustworthy; front seats are comfortable for long road trips; lots of cargo room when rear seats are folded down. Engine and Transmission are above par, and the surrounding exterior plastic acts as a salt and road grime bumper to prevent rust; there are also plastic plates in behind the rotors that act to prevent dust and salt these are nice features for Northern Climates.
Although I had a 2003 Pontiac Vibe, it was , by far, one of the most reliable cars that I have ever owned (I am in my 60s). After driving it for 3 years, I finally sold my car - it has 289,000 miles on it. If he engine light hadnt come on (and be too expensive for my budget), I would still be driving it . I loved the body style and fold down rear seats - allowing for a huge amout of space to pack/store items. I am now out looking for the same or similar model!!!
Good value for your money if you can tolerate oil leak. It has a solid feel on the road with good feedback. A/C is mild with replacement compressor. Transmission has been solid. I now have Continental Pro Contact EcoPlus tires on front. It runs consistently 26-27 mpg mixed driving. This would be a good young driver car.
I love the way the car handles; the height of the car is perfect for me, I am 5'2". However when I back up the brakes squeal. The dealer says it is normal for this car. I cannot stand it and have complained numerous times to corp. customer services. I am about to try to write to the pres. of Gm. Any suggestions? Otherwise I love driving my vibe.
