My Pontiac Vibe is absolutely incredible! I bought it brand new, and it now has about 84,000 miles on it. Everything about it is amazing. It gets great gas mileage. I usually only have to fill up my tank every other week or so. On the cold winter days, it starts right up. Usually around 2 miles down the road, the inside cabin is as warm as can be. The heat and A/C both seem to kick on instantly. For being a 2010, it is a very modern vehicle. Everything is power, and it has a sunroof. It has a stereo system with an AUX port. Just everything about it is great. One thing I find amazing is that although it is constantly parked outside and for most of its life, it was parked in a country scene, I just recently had to replace the cabin and engine air filters.
Story
During one of the biggest snow storms we've had in a long time, I was at work and a bunch of my coworkers were outside shoveling. They let everyone go early because most people needed to get their cars pulled out from their spots since there was so much snow. As I was getting in my car, a bunch of the guys came over to me ready to pull my vehicle out. I told them not to worry my car has this. ... (more)
Pros
My favorite feature is how sporty the car is. It feels as though you are driving a sports car. There is a lot of room in the vehicle and can fit 4-5 people comfortably. It has great gas mileage. It is also incredible in the snow. I have never seen a vehicle go through the snow as amazing as this car. Everyone I tell never believes me about how great it is in the snow, until they see it in action. During cold winter days, you only need to warm the car up for 5 minutes, and the inside cabin will be nice and toasty.
Cons
Although there are not many negatives, one of the things I have realized is that occasionally the vehicle is very sluggish going up hills. Although I don't floor the vehicle when going up a hill, it just seems to lag. Another thing is that this vehicle seems to eat up oil. Usually when I am halfway to needing a new oil change, it needs another quart of oil. There has never been a leak, it just seems to eat it up.

I love this car so much. It looks great, has a lot of room in the cabin as well as the hatch, it gets great gas mileage and it's the car that I wanted before I even had my driver's license. It's performed well since I bought it (used) four years ago and I haven't had a single problem with it that couldn't be fixed with routine maintenance. Overall, it's just a solid car. Nothing necessarily fancy or showy about it, but it works and looks great.
Story
Taking this car to the drive-in movie is one of my favorite memories. We opened the hatch in the back and put the seats down with blankets over them and the kids just crawled around and watched the movie.
Pros
I like the style of the body the most, I think. The room in the hatchback/trunk is also great, there's a lot of space, I'm able to fit both of my kids' bikes without any trouble. I also haven't had any problems with it that couldn't be solved with routine maintenance. I really appreciate a car that doesn't have to be constantly taken care of.
Cons
I do wish that there was some sort of cargo net or pocket in the back so I could put things in the trunk without them rolling around or having to secure it in some other way. The center console is also shaped weirdly, and doesn't hold much, but that doesn't really matter very much unless you are one of those people who constantly have open containers of hot liquid and drive like a crazy person.
