Used 2005 Pontiac Vibe

"Great Car for Driving"

"I purchased this car new in November of 2002 as a good all wheel drive call for my wife to commute 40 mi each way to work. After about 3 years and 60,000 miles my job changed and so I started driving this car since. It is a FANTASTIC car for somone who is in rep for their company and does alot of driving. Since the beginning i have changed the oil around 3000 to 3500 each time, transmission fluid 50,000, first tune up came at 190,000 i tried to get a tune up at 100,000 but the mechanic at the dealer said the plugs looked like they were new. Let me talk about the AWD this car is like a tank, i have driven to make appointments in unplowed driveway (mine - flat) thru 12 inches of snow and looked back and could see the outline of the under carriage, my job takes me to construction sites and i have amazed contractors with f-350 what i can drive thru. I have not done any major work on this car just the normal stuff tires, brakes, struts, i am now having to replace the caalytic converter (231K), i am not buring any oil, tranmission shifts good and I plan on driving this car a long time 300 miles. I average about 30k a year for work."

"Old Reliable"

"I had done extensive homework before I purchased this vehicle new in September of 04 and it was well worth my efforts. Going on 16 years with out any major repairs. only routine maintenance. absolutely the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is an AWD model yet it gets between 29-34 MPG depending on the time of year (Ethanol).It has 265,000 miles on the original engine, transmission (entire drive train) even exhaust and struts. The interior is still like new condition. Even though this car averages about 400 miles a week the exterior has held up beautifully and still gets compliments when waxed up. What a shame they don't make this wonderful car anymore. I would pay top dollar for a brand new version of this in a heartbeat. Today's vehicles are full of unnecessary gadgets to entice buyers. yet are lacking in reliability due to multi speed transmissions,start stop technology and light weight aluminum engine parts."

"This car meets all my expectations- best value"

"I purchased the Vibe because it was comfortable for me (5ft3) and for my husband(6ft 2)and large. We are retired and cost and maintenance are excellence. Our son loves it. It has Baby seat hooks for our grandchild. We have changed the catalytic converted,had new breaks done, and new spark plugs. Of course we have regular oil changes and transmission care and new tires. At 270,000 miles it still gets 34 mile to the gallon of regular fuel. It does not use any oil. People say it is comfortable when we take guests."
