consumerreports.org vibe info

Post by VibeInTx »

BTW, I just found that consumerreports.org has a new article comparing the Vibe/Matrix to others, and has some forums. Disclaimer is that it's a pay-for site.

Did you get to read it? Can you give us a little idea of what they said about the vibe?

I read the article in the newsstand edition and the review is pretty much the same as Car and Driver's.

There's actually not too much detail. They looked at the Vibe, Matrix, Protege5, Jetta wagon, Foxus ZX5, and Subaru Impreza. All of them were on the "recomended list" except the Focus, due to reliability concerns.The website is also hosting an "experts forum", where you can ask their car experts about the cars. In the forums, they descibe the Matrix as being the most fuel efficient AWD you can get.
