Just bought a Base model Vibe, had it about a week.

SWEET !!

A Toyota Matrix, and I got the GM employee pricing and $2000 other rebates too. Local Toyota dealer wouldn't budge on the price, said he couldn't keep'em on the lot.

I own a 2004 Vibe base model. It has been totally dependable-hasn't been back to the dealer for anything. It has averaged over 30 mpg since I've owned it. I haven't had any experience with the GT, but you can find just

Stick with the regular Vibe. The GET has  power only at high end of rpms. Not bad if you like to hear squeal!

I do a lot of highway driving, and when I want to pass someone with the GT I can, I didn't think I'd have enough with the base. Plus the 6-speed is sweet, and the stereo is great for factory.

I've had one since August.  I like it.  Debated between Matrix and Pontiacand because of rotten sales people at 3 Toyota dealers I went with the Vibe.It gives me flexibility to carry bigger stuff in the back and gets goodmileage.gjd

I got my '05 GT in March and I love it! I haven't had any problems with it, and the mileage keeps getting better with each fill (I'm at about

25mpg average, and I have a heavy foot). It spins pretty easy in the snow with the stock tires, but I just got some winter grips and all is well now. Take it for a test drive first to see if you like the driving position. The wheel and shifter are quite far forward, and require you to drive with your arms straight out. It took me a bit to get used to, but now I love it!
