Pros: What do you like about 2005 Pontiac Vibe?
The gas mileage is good.
The purchase price.
The car is roomy.
Nice interior.
Cons: How would you improve 2005 Pontiac Vibe?
I think for starters I would improve the odometer....it stopped at 299,999 kms(miles) would not go to the 300,000 kms.....spoke to personal from GM was told that was it ????
Found the car to be noisy all around. Black plastic panels under the front of car are not secured well. Had to reinforce with cable ties. The fan is loud and also engine is loud when under stress and when cold.
2005 Pontiac Vibe Review:
We got great gas mileage and the engine is still going....maintenance costs are reasonable and too bad the Pontiac is discontinued.
