The Vibe's best asset is its hard-to-categorize shape. The carlike low floor makes ingress and egress easy. The relatively high, SUV-like seating makes it comfortable once you're in there. Canadian Driver (2003)
It has the cargo area of a small station wagon, the nimble handling and performance of a sport sedan, and the high ground clearance of an off-road vehicle – it's also available with all-wheel-drive.

Vibe vs Matrix: Is there really any difference? Car Design News (2003)
Uniquely combined, Vibe defies the traditional vehicle classification. It offers a spacious interior in the disguise of a compact car, and features of a sports car, sport wagon and SUV all at the same time. Car Design News (2003)
Its look comes across as a car based SUV similar to the Pontiac Aztek, but more pleasing to the eye. Consumer Guide (2003)
Informative review including: Road Test, Prices, Rebates & Incentives, Engines, Standard Equipment, Optional Equipment, Specifications, Warranty Info and more. Detroit News (2003)
Annoying beeping when you shift into reverse. Engine is loud and buzzy at high RPM. Side and rear visibility are mildly impaired. Edmunds (2003)
The Vibe is a sleek-looking, well-equipped, functional vehicle. And the Vibe GT adds spirited performance to the mix. Good for GM. Epinions (2003)
See what fellow owners of the 2003 Pontiac Vibe SUV think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2003)
Move over, Chrysler PT Cruiser. Get ready for some real competition. Vibe is a tall, four-door hatchback that, like the PT Cruiser, has novel cargo flexibility and surprisingly roomy passenger space, all in an affordable, small-car package. Motor Trend (2003)
Execution of the Pontiac-designed interior is almost identical for both the Vibe and Matrix, but the exteriors were styled independently. MSN Carpoint (2003)
Even the best of vehicles have flaws. The Vibe generally is a solid, versatile, attractive package. New Car Test Drive (2003)
The Vibe's strengths are its extensive list of standard equipment in all three of its versions, its innovative cargo system, its equally innovative standard electrical outlet and its Toyota build quality. Statesman Classifieds (2003)
Seating is unexpectedly roomy, with acceptable rear legroom and three-across passenger space in the rear as long as all three are slender.
