This car was my first car, and it has been one of the most reliable forms of transportation for 10+ years. What initially drew me to it was the 32 miles per gallon, since I am a commuting college student that will have to travel in and out of a city every day. Another thing that drew me to this car is the large amount of space that is available - I am involved in my University's marching band, and I have to carry multiple instruments and equipment for a couple of days during the week, and the extra space in the trunk as well as the backseat helps a ton for all of that equipment. The only thing that bothered me about the car is the factory sound system, but that was solved later down the road where I installed a new subwoofer, deck and speakers.

Story
The most memorable story I've had using my car was when I first installed the new sound system and driving it around the neighborhood for the first time - it felt like a new car again and really made me care about the car a lot more!

This car has been nothing short of amazing. I purchased it when it was two years old because it was in great shape and had low mileage. Overall, it has been the most amazing car ever! The inside is spacious and it is still going strong 12 years later! If the car was still being manufactured, I would absolutely love to buy it again when it is time for a new car.
Story
I loved driving cross country with my friends and then again with my dog. He loves this car!
Pros
The Vibe is so versatile. The interior is super comfortable and easy to clean. I love how the back seats collapse and make it possible to travel with large items. I have driven it cross country twice now and everyone was so comfy during the long drive. It gets great gas mileage and is the perfect car for a variety of purposes. It doesn't hurt that the color is different.
Cons
The car does struggle to accelerate quickly when getting on the highway. I have had some issues with the AC systems recently and replacing the blower motor doesn't seemed to have helped. Overall, the issues are fairly minor.
