Faults:

Nothing. I do hear a bit of a valve tick once in a while, usually when it's fully warm, but it's not often or for long. Made by Toyota. Seems it's hard to find a decent and reliable vehicle these days. After Japan had a recession in 2000 and the whole world in 2008, there is really only a vehicle here or there that is worth buying.

We love the Vibe and plan to keep it until it dies. We also loved our 2006 Scion xB. Can't say enough about how great that was as well; we only sold it because we thought my fiance was pregnant and bought the Vibe to get more space.

I would replace my Vibe only with another Vibe that has the sunroof and maybe the AWD, but really our FWD with snow tires is excellent in winter. Go buy one and be happy you did. Avoid the 2009 and up Vibe/Matrix as the 2.4L that Toyota put in many of its cars (including the second gen Scion xB) is garbage.

General Comments:

Love it. Plan to keep it for as long as we can.

Faults:

Nothing major.

General Comments:

The negative: This car is very uncomfortable on trips over 1 hour. In fact I could not sit for extended periods in the passenger seat. I am an average height (6') and average build (180lbs).

The Positive: Good on gas, lots of storage, very dependable.

Makes a good second car.

Faults:

So far so good, no complaints.

We had a really cold snap -45c and vehicle still started with little hesitation. Interior feels a little cheap, but that's plastic for you. You get what you pay for!!!

General Comments:

Basically it's a Matrix without the ridiculous price.

Keep in mind the vehicle is not a V8 hot rod by any means, but is still pretty quick when we have all of our family in it. Good cargo room for a compact vehicle.

Looking back I think I would have bought the AWD just cause you get major wandering when its icy. Still can't beat it for utility.

The car we have is 5Spd as the auto felt really mushy (for lack of better description) to me personally.
