Well, maybe not, but it sure is fun to drive. The wife is waiting for a call on a job, she had an interview on Fri. We had to find her something to drive anyway, and this is what we came home with. A 2005 Pontiac Vibe. We drove this thing all over Sarasota, yesterday and the gas gauge never moved. 30 in town and 36 highway mpg. It has the 4 cylinder Toyota motor and is just a blast to run around in. She was so excited, I thought she was going to sleep in it on Sat. night.

These are the 2 vehicle`s we now own, side by side. We decided to go with the manual trans. in the Vibe cause the TA already had one. Nothing worse than getting into an automatic and reaching for the clutch with your foot. What`s worse is getting into a manual and forgetting to reach for the clutch.
I can see that I have a busy weekend ahead of me. We decided to pass on the $300 paint sealant package. I didn`t let them clean it up for me either. Hope you like the shots.

Cool! Nowadays I just want a car that can move easily, good on gas, fill my detail supplies, looks good (with quality paint), and what else can I ask for? :lol Man 30 / 36 MPG is really good. Nice to see Pontiac coming out with better vehicles
Hehe Decided to pass on the paint sealant? I think you can put different types if you bring it to 4Star!Last edited by Woob; 09-20-2004 at 09:21 PM.
