2006 Pontiac Vibe Purchase in Houston

Written by: kneehowma on Nov 28, 2006 07:35 AM

Just purchased a 2006 Pontiac Vibe from DeMontrond in Houston, TX. Sales person is nice, I would go back to him in a heartbeat; but get the usual mean-looking, high pressure sales manager coming to stare-you-down treatment. Here is the break down: MSRP $19455 = Base($16430)+destination($560)+AT($850)+power group($850)+16" wheels($440)+monotone($325) ... Read More...

Re: Pontiac Vibe vs Matrix pros and cons and rust proofing

Written by: oubaasjohn on Oct 02, 2006 06:47 PM

I bought a 2003 Matrix when that were first produced. The matrix in the same configuration as the Mazda 5 (at that time - 2003) was $1000 more expensive than the Matrix. I tried to get a Vibe since I wanted roof racks but the Pontiac dealer did not reply to my email. After three accidents, none of which were my fault and all paid for by insurance and repaired at the Pontiac ... Read More...

Pontiac Vibe - MPG-Real World Numbers

mpg sticker

Written by: nanc3 on Sep 10, 2006 08:15 AM

I think the 2007 online stickers are a mistake and I have notified the Pontiac web site people via an online feedback form. C'mon, Pontiac, if you want to sell cars you gotta pay attention! As to real world mpg, I have a 2006 base Vibe with auto transmission (the way probably 95+% of 2007 models will be equipped). I have never gotten less than 25 mpg around town. At 65-75 ...

MPG on a VIBE vs. Nissan Versa vs. Toyota Matrix

Written by: patvizina on Sep 10, 2006 08:04 AM

Hi, I am choosing between these three cars, and am quite confused. I am told by both the pontiac and toyota dealer that the 2006 vibe was built by TOYOTA. However, when I look at the crash ratings posted in Edmunds, they show different crash ratings. I am quoted 36 city and 38 highway by both the dealers and my girlfriend who has the automatic transmission 2005 with ... Read More...

Re: 2006 PONTIAC VIBE BRAKE PROBLEM [2006vibe]

Written by: herzogtum71 on May 16, 2006 09:04 AM

The service people at your dealership are true bozos if they think there is nothing wrong with brakes pulling to the right. Is there another dealer you could take it to? If your Vibe has ABS and you're not used to them, the popping noise may be the ABS activating. But they shouldn't activate during normal stopping. So there's also some sort of problem with that noise. Read More...

Often there is a "popping" noise in the brake pedal. The dealership tells me there is nothing wrong with the car, ... Read More...
