Best car built in USA on road
Source: Cars.com

...It is a joy to drive. I get over 30 mpg on rural roads ( 60mph ) and around 28 when cruising down the freeway at 70+. I have the 2.4 liter engine with a manual transmission.The car looks nice. People look at it wondering what it is. It looks different than anything else out there. I value the anti-lock breaks and the electronic stability control. They have helped me out of a couple sticky situations when I found myself traveling a little too fast in the snow.I know this car is nearly the same as a Toyota Matrix. It was built by a partnership between GM and Toyota in California. So I get...

...Bought this car brand new. It's fuel-efficient, reliable, and practical.
Best car I've ever owned or driven. If you have $20000 and need a car, then get the Vibe or Matrix, they're one in the same. Great car, overall, you won't regret buying this...

Love this Car
Source: Cars.com

...cars and even on short trips they were uncomfortable and difficult to get in and out of - but just after 10 min of testing this Vibe I knew I found my car. I owned a Plymouth Acclaim for 14 yrs and those seats were just wonderfully plush so I had to get used to the *harder* cushioning of the cloth bucket seats in the Vibe and wish they were as soft as the Acclaim's were, but still they are more comfortable than the PT Cruiser and other sub-compact cars I tested. Ours has the sunroof, power windows/doors, a/c and radio with cd/mp3 4spd auto FWD - I wish the arm rests were taller and the...

2 year nightmare
Source: Cars.com

..."This vibe was a well behaved machine for the first 1000 miles.
Then you name it happened. the the electronic steering box rattled like marbles in a hard cup.
Then in the process of taking dash apart parts of plastic dash broke, half of dash replaced.
Then the plastic radio voice knob broke, radio needed replaced.Then the icing on the cake car started locking doors on its on.
This car has 18,000 miles on it has been in shop 28 times since june 08. I just purchased a civc goodbye nightmare vibe."...

excellent smaller car,but not too small
Source: Cars.com

..."1 year old and 14k miles,totally recommend, happy to see others have given it very high grades.
Would like to keep for another 9 years(maybe by then 100 mpg cars so would trade in).
feels good for being a smaller car. am happy it has an american name even though it is quite a bit a matrix, with the quality of toyota(but less expensive).
miss the xm radio that i didn't renew after 1st year. the on star came in handy with a small accident."...

...Pontiacs design improved greatly on this particular car.
The performance in the 1.8 is not the best of the models offered.
They're a very affordable car, only getting around 30 mpg isn't the best but it beats 15. It's fairly fun drive around with the 5 speed if u nonchalantly cruise the streets...

Awesome!
Source: CarGurus

...This car has great storage capacity. It is roomy enough for the whole family with extra space for the dog or the groceries (or what have you).
Everything works smoothly and I think it is pretty peppy for a 4 cylinder...

Pretty Good
Source: CarGurus

...Because my father in law is retired, he only uses any of his cars for getting groceries or to go hang out with old friends.
This car is really fun to drive, and I know this because sometimes he will let me drive it. It can go pretty fast for a hatchback too...

just nice car or suv ?
Source: Cars.com

..."We bought this because it's AWD and it's good on gas.
The wife love's it cause it's hers. Bought it for her to drive me around in. Nice everything in it and about it. You just have to drive it for yourselves to see what I mean."...
