Post by ragingfish »

Vibe gets another mention in the 9/03 issue of Consumer Reports. It received the highest MPG ratings in the "Hatchback" category, and was also a recommended model for purchase.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised the Saturn didn't get a recommendation...but NOT surprised the Focus didn't!

I've had my Vibe for almost 4 months now, and still amazed at even getting more than 20 mpg! my Tundra on the best day got 18 mpg, but on average was 14!
