I've had two of these Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe is a twin of the Toyota Matrix. They were made on the same assembly lines and consist of the same parts. You get Toyota reliability and Pontiac pricing. It's going to last a long time.

LOVED IT, would buy another but they don't make them anymore. This is a brilliant collaboration between GM and Toyota, the engine and transmission will go approximately 5 more years with low maintenance, low gas costs, low repair. Any mechanic would recommend this car.

The lightness of this vehicle is it's best attribute. It's can be tossed into corners giving it a spirited personality. It has the heart of a race car, but the legs of a sloth with the auto trans gears favoring optimal mpgs. I think it's a very reliable trans, but it really sucks the life from the Toyota power plant. Overall, it's a great first car or a practical choice for a small family with little spacial needs.

Only had it for a few weeks but fun to drive and high expected reliability due to Toyota heritage drivetrain.

Fuel economy rocks. It's also spacious.
