2008 Pontiac Vibe Road Test Ratings
Fuel Economy
29 mpg
EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
One of the best small wagons when it comes to functionality, the Vibe's driving experience could be much improved with a more powerful engine.
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Better than average handling for the class is hamstrung by lackluster engine choices. With the deletion of the AWD and GT versions, the 2007 Pontiac Vibe line gets trimmed down to just a single trim level.
Comfort
The front seats are spacious, and well padded. The ride is pleasant, without a lot of drama or noise.
Function
The rear seats fold flat, revealing a large load floor. The control layout is simple and logical. Extras like a 110V outlet are available.
Design/Build Quality
The Vibe's design and build quality are very good.
Cargo Hauler Flat load floor in a nice-sized wagon.
Family Friendly Carries the family and their equipment comfortably.
