2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I just bought my Vibe and love it. Was looking for a small fuel efficient car that has lots of room and does ok on highway. But wife uses it around town mostly. She loves it. Can't wait to take it on a longer trip to see how it does. It's not a big car but it feels close to it.
Favorite Features
Easy use of controls. Has the european feel. The dash is empressive. Nice ride, lots of room for small car, ok handling. Great fuel economy.
Suggested Improvements
The plastic below the doors and around wheel wells should be the car color and not black. This plastic seems to scratch easily. Scratches show the black plastic under the paint. Door lock and window buttons need to be lite so can see at night. The roof rack should be an option on all cars.
Great toyota motor

Review
This is a great car for "grown ups" who don't have children but haul a lot of various things around.
Favorite Features
The console panel is laid out very well for the driver it doesn't distract you from driving much to try and tune radio, insert cd, or change air temp.
Suggested Improvements
the best little car ever

This car has been the best economy car i have ever owned. It has the power the comfort and the looks. It is well built car and good on gas I have been getting almost 40miles to the gallon, great car for students and adults a like. If you are looking for a nice fuel economy car that has the power, comfort and looks this is the one I would choose.
Favorite Features
the sound system and the 115 V plug. the seats fit right to you so you fell like your in a race car.
Suggested Improvements

wife loves it. easy to drive, could use a little more room in the rear cargo area
Favorite Features
the adjustment for the drivers seat, height
Suggested Improvements
would like to have seen a top rear spoiler, it looks like you chopped the rear end off. I'm going to buy one for it
Love it, way less $ than another Outback

2006 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Wagon AWD (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Review
Got it last week after ten years of Outbacks... less $, no heated seats or mirrors, but peppy, a little more noisy but more room for rear passengers, lots of pizzazz, better braking distance, WAY better price. Still have '00 Outback SW. Only tows 1500, vs. 2700 now for OUtback, and 2200 when I bought mine,....but I did not get it to tow. 28.5 mpg last tank of gas ;D, about 25 my first... I usually get city avg mileage from EPA, 21 or 22 avg on Outback; 15 avg summer on Chev Trlblazer EXT.
Favorite Features
Responsive handling, comfortable seats despite no power settings much to my pleasant surprise on test drive, wonderful gas mileage for AWD, and clever storage in back and back seat flexibility.
Suggested Improvements
Heated mirrors, heated seats (but not just for leather), work on more torque so can tow, but that will reduce gas mileage. Subaru did it both ways... went from 21 to 23 city, with towing increased 500 lbs...so Pontiac/Toyota can do it....

Review
My family was outgrowing our small Chevy Cavalier, but I didn't want to give up the 34 MPG I was getting on the drive to work. I researched about 10 different vehicles, and the Vibe just cannot be beat for both price and fuel economy. Not to mention the rear cargo area that my sons can toss their football gear into! And the car is great looking---kind of like a cross between a station wagon & SUV. I also noticed that it rides "too well" at higher speeds. I have to keep my eye on the speedometer while on the interstate because twice I found myself driving way too fast without even knowing it! I recommend using your cruise control until you're used to how well the vehicle drives.
Favorite Features
Fuel economy, appearance, cargo space, great leg room in the rear seating area.
Suggested Improvements
I really don't have any suggestions at this point.
