 Pontiac Vibe Reviews and Ratings - 2003 Pontiac Vibe New Car Test Drive
Pontiac Vibe provides seating for five, and those seats are elevated for a good view of the road.
The basic Vibe is no pocket rocket, but it is built on the new Toyota Corolla chassis and should provide a good platform for those who want to give their hatchbacks the fast and furious aftermarket treatment.
Pontiac says the Vibe GT will rocket from a standing stop to 60 mph in less than 8.5 seconds (compared to around 9 or 10 seconds for the base car and 11.5 for the Vibe AWD).

The Vibe GT and its Toyota twin, the Matrix XRS, both use the 180-horsepower, 1.8-liter Four from Toyota's Celica GT-S sports coupe (albeit detuned to 173hp in the wagons).
The Vibe (and Matrix) are based on the same platform as the Toyota Corolla, and every new Corolla I've driven (and the base-model Matrix, as well) has had a slightly nebulous, disconnected feel in the steering during hard driving, and a suspension calibrated too softly for my tastes.
This is where the Vibe shows its Corolla ancestry, with a similarly high-set driver's seat and pedals that are a bit too close for comfort.

 Review: 2003 Pontiac Vibe
GENERAL The all-new 2003 Pontiac Vibe is a successful representation of global cooperation between the two largest car companies in the world, General Motors and Toyota.
The Pontiac Vibe is assembled in Fremont, California, by New United Manufacturing Motors, Inc. (NUMMI), which is a joint venture between GM and Toyota.
Pontiac, like Toyota, does offer a 180 HP version of this engine but not in combination with the all-wheel drive system.

 2005 Pontiac Vibe Review, Prices, Photos: New Car Test Drive
The Pontiac Vibe is popular for its practicality, sporty styling and zippy performance.
The Vibe GT is designed to deliver more excitement, but its high-performance engine seems too peaky for this application and adds considerably to the cost.
The Vibe comes standard with wind-up windows, manual door locks, and 16-inch steel wheels, but it is otherwise reasonably well equipped with air conditioning; power mirrors; a CD player; two automotive-style 12-volt outlets; plus a two-prong, household-style 115-volt power outlet.

 Pontiac's Vibe is versatile - The Washington Times: Auto Weekend - October 08, 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Vibe and Matrix differ mainly in their outer styling, which for 2005 Pontiac has refined with a new grille and fascia on the Vibe.
There are three Vibe models — a base car with 130 horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, an all-wheel-drive version with 123 horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, and a GT version with 170 horsepower, 1.8-liter four with variable valve timing and lift control.
The base Vibe with the lower-power engine, manual transmission and two-wheel drive is rated at 29 miles a gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway for an average of 32.5 mpg.

 Pontiac Vibe GT (Toyota Matrix XRS)
The Vibe is a so-called crossover vehicle, designed to attract younger buyers to Pontiac and Toyota (which sells it as the Matrix).
The base Vibe is reasonably priced, but you have to pay for the GT model - to the tune of $19,900 without power locks and such.
The Pontiac Vibe is a good entry into the SUV-replacement market, with a practical shape, efficient engines, good handling, and styling that appeals to younger buyers.

 2003 Pontiac Vibe - Automobile Magazine
The Vibe and the Matrix both use the new Corolla's platform, the powertrains from the Toyota Celica, and the same interior.
Part of the Vibe's cross-segment appeal is in its available all-wheel drive, but this feature can't be had with the 180-hp engine.
Offered only with a four-speed automatic, the Vibe AWD is a bit of a road toaster itself, trundling from 0 to 60 mph in 11.5 seconds.

 Pontiac Vibe Reviews and Ratings - 2003 Pontiac Vibe
Vibe is big enough to hold four average size folks comfortably, and still handle 24.6 cubic feet of gear behind the back seat.
Vibe is available in one body style (4 door hatch/wagon), two platforms (front or all wheel drive), three engine variations (123/130/180 hp), three transmissions (5 & 6 speed manual, four speed automatic).
Pontiac already has the youngest buyer profile of any GM division and Vibe should do nothing to disturb those demographics.

 2005 Pontiac Vibe Review | AutoSite New Car Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
After a week in a 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT with the 170-horsepower engine, we think most folks will prefer the 130-horsepower base unit instead, which makes its peak power at lower rpms, generates almost the same amount of torque, runs on regular unleaded rather than premium, and is far more tractable for city driving.
Another reason to skip the Vibe GT is that it comes only with a manual transmission, a six-speed unit with a shifter that protrudes from the middle of the dashboard, rally-car-style.
The Pontiac Vibe GT’s single redeeming powertrain quality is fuel economy; we averaged better than the EPA combined estimate, achieving 28 mpg despite the fact that we weren’t always light on the throttle.

 2003 Pontiac Vibe - The Car Connection
In all, there are three Vibes to catch: a base front-drive, 130-hp model with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission; an all-wheel-drive model with 123 hp and a four-speed automatic; and a front-drive 180-hp Vibe GT with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Under the Vibe's nifty skin you'll see Toyota bits, from the control-arm front suspension to the all-wheel-drive unit on those models, to the four-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines and transmissions that propel the Vibe.
The AWD Vibe, which uses a viscous coupling to send power to the back wheels when wheelspin happens, has the same struts but carries an independent rear suspension in the back.
