Overall I'm getting used to it after driving a '02 hyundai sonata with all the bells & whistles, including leather seats. Still miss it a bit except for the gas mileage - also my insurance went down! |

Telescoping steering wheel, manual shifter should be 6 inches to the rear (don't want to reach). Availability of more powerful engine (what happened to the supercharger advertised as a dealer install on earlier models?) 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
I own a 2004 ..... great car. No repairs or adjustment to date (35K miles). |

The vent controls are the best I've ever seen, very easy to open and shut and to precisely direct warm or cool air where you want it to go. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Vibe?
I'll never figure out all the buttons on that radio, why can't the car makers make a simple radio for old fogies? When the car is in park, the fan control is a little hard to reach. 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
I'd rather have a dozen root canals than buy a new car, but after returning from serving in the Peace Corps we needed dependable transportation. I researched new vehicles a lot, with economy, price, and dependability as goals. The Vibe seemed to have a lot of room and promised good mileage. We got a 2004 demo with 4,500 miles and have put 16,000 more on it in a year. Drives easy, solidly built, plenty of room, no problems at all. It's really my wife's car, but I drive on trips. We got the auto trans, I would have liked the six speed manual but of course GM won't let you have it without the turbo engine. It's been a good choice, I recommend the Vibe without reservation. I'm 57 years old. |

We drive 50 miles a day over Bozeman pass to go to work. The Pontiac Vibe handles the hills and curves with ease in all types of weather from wet roads to 3 foot snow drifts. |

A bit more contrast for the odometer and temperature regions of the instrument panel. A little hard to readin a quick glance from the road. 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
First major trip, NY to FL to MO and back. What a hoot. Loaded down with golf clubs and luggage for two people, two climates. Wife managed to get her first speeding ticket in 20 years! Seats are incredibly comfortable, even on the first day, a 17 hour marathon! We're not youngsters anymore but no aches and pains from the ride. If it had another 12 inches in the luggage area, I'd trade my Park Avenue for another one! Driving it like a sports car and still well over 30 mpg! Only other car we've ever owned that was more fun to drive was the original Toyota Celica GT we had in the 70s. |

Engine is a bit boomy. 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
We switched from a 5th wheel to a motorhome, and needed a small car to tow behind. The Vibe combines the japanese reliability with american style. It is fun to drive and great on gaz compared to my GMC 2500. The interior is roomy and flexible - I can put my bikes inside, which I could not in the Toyota Yaris I considered. The seats are comfy and the controls are well placed. I bought a set of 15 Inch Corolla rims along 195/65-15 snow tires - they fit perfectly - and I am having fun in the snow. With the various rebates, the Vibe came in at a lower price than the Toyota Matrix. This 57 years old owner is fully satisfied with his new toy! |

The flexible interior is nice. As a backpacker, etc., I'm glad to be able to fit an amazing amount of stuff in such a small car. And I agree with other posters about the seats. Excellent. My girlfriend likes them better than those in her Lexus. Her son is also impressed by the 110-volt socket. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Vibe?
The auto transmission searches a bit. But I may be fussy because I'm used to a stick. Recessed gauges are often tough to see. The short and far-aft rails of the roof rack look cool, but we'll see how practical they are when I got to put two kayaks on the roof this season! 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
After a terrible experience with a VW Jetta (it lived in the shop), I was looking for a solid, reliable vehicle with good fuel economy. So far the Vibe fits the bill. I've had ZERO problems so far in a time period that the Jetta would've filled with one thing after another. I did a lot of research and was very impressed by the philosophy and reputation of the NUMMI plant where the Vibe is built. It certainly shows in the final product. |

side mirrors are small imo but i have dropped down from a larger vehicle with larger side mirrors, a little underpowered of the line 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
I purchased this car due to its american styling and toyota engineering a great combination, along with 30+mpg. I found that a the heart of the vibe is the toyota corolla engine/transmission as well as some other carry overs from toyota and is better looking than the matrix. So far ive been very pleased with the handling/ride quality and how quiet it is on the freeway and lots of pep at freeway speeds. The dash is laid out nice and the styling circular designs are a plus. Plenty of backseat space for my 3 year old and really like how the middle and passenger seats fold flat and have protective covering on the backside. Very pleased and i like this alliance of GM/Toyota Toyota at a GM price. |

Extremely comfy seats at the perfect height-not too high or too low. Moons & Tunes package is great. Leather seating option. Styling. Practicality. Hatchback and separate glass door. AWD systems is awesome. Great gas mileage. Windshield never seems to fog and no snow build up-amazing visibility. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Vibe?
There is just nothing I don't like about this car. Nowhere near the most expensive car I have ever owned-last car a Subaru Legacy GT Sedan, loaded- also have had a top of the line Jeep- Yet THIS car is my absolute favorite EVER and I will continue to drive one as long as they manufacture it! 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
Oh how I love my Vibe!!! Good looks (mine is stealth Black) Great MPG (28- 30 in the winter with AWD and lots of warm up idle time) Incredibly comfortable seats, Best Visibility EVER, Handles like a charm in snow, Fun to drive, can haul an amazing amount of stuff, Practical, Fun and Affordable. A BIG little car. If you haven't driven one of these yet-go for it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Every one tha has seen it, sat in it or driven it loves it! |

Very comfortable and roomy interior. Whoever designed this car did a great job. I bought a ton of groceries at the wholesale warehouse and had no trouble fitting then in the back. The 60/40 split seats come in very handy. Leather interior and 7 speaker Monsoon audio system help in the comfort area. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Pontiac Vibe?
The 6 speed manual transmission is DESIGNED well but, I think it may have some QUALITY issues. I dont know if it just needs to be "broken in" but, it seems hard to find certain gears at times (third gear). 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
I have owned my VIBE GT for only two weeks but, just let me say that this is without a doubt the most fun, practical, economical, most comfortable car I have ever owned!! It is VERY quick but, when I carefully checked the gas milage it was an impressive 25.7 mpg. This was a combination of highway/city and fun O:) driving. Of course if you are going to constantly get on the motor you are going to be rewarded with less gas milage (power comes from somwhere).I read some articles that said the GT didnt have alot of low end power. However, my 2006 model came equiped with a transaxle gear ratio of 4:53. This low gear ratio allows the motor to get up into its high end powerband rather quickly. |

lacks power on hills, arm rest is too low for me to use comfortably im 6 feet tall, getting used to steering wheel close to dash compared to my jeep but still comfortable...just a few things nothing major. 2006 Pontiac Vibe Review:
I was shopping for a gas sipper and came across the Vibe. After researching i found out the vibe is a matrix which both are made on the Toyota assembly line and share the corolla engine and transmission with many toyota carry overs but much better styling than the matrix imo. This auto is terrific, plenty of storage, well thought out design, quiet on the road, zippy around town |
