The tab for the vehicle in this test cracked $22,000 delivered, but that includes $5500 worth of safety and comfort options. Though not a sparkling performer for right-foot types, the Vibe offers great utility and welcome fuel economy in an attractive, modern package.
Mark Bilek
Vibe is an excellent choice as a daily driver or small-family highway trip vehicle.
