Seems to me, the truth about car reviews is well, not very true to life...they seem to either like the car or not, you can't tell me that there isn't a happy medium, even his complements sound like put downs...Quote »this wee beastie sports one of the least revolting designs of our timeCar reviews written by one person are useless, it's too one sided to be accurate, by the sounds of this article, if I didn't know anything about the Vibe, I'd think it was a bigger flop then the Aztec.Quote »Dynamically speaking, the Vibe doesn't offer anything resembling performance. A hum-drum 126hp mill mated to an over-taxed four-speed auto give the car all the immediacy of a growing tree.Now I may be a bit one sided here, but 126hp, isn't all that bad for a 4 cylinder, the Vibe is faster then a scion xB, Chevy Aveo (which isn't saying much), and Chevy Cavalier, just to name a few that I've dealt with.

Something tells me he has a bug up his patoot. I didnt get past the first 2 paragraphs to get the idea he;1. Hated Front wheel drive cars2. Disliked GMHe also thought to compare the Vibe to the Aztec.....yes he needs to be shot for this. Everything about his review spews utter dislike for the Vibe and nitpics at ever little tidbit trying his best to find any fault he can in a car he clearly doesnt like. After reading an article like this, he shouldnt be writing any articles for a website that has the word "truth" in it as its a blatent opinion he wrote and very little fact put in anywhere....This article is pure trash.....

Although we certainly love our Vibes more than this guy did, I thought it was a pretty fair review. I don't think he hated it. He clearly doesn't like Corollas and considers the Vibe an improvement.TTAC reviewers seem to be in a never-ending contest to out-do each other with wild metaphors. It makes for entertaining reading but is sometimes irritating. Also I should point out that most if not all of these reviewers do this strictly as a hobby. My favorite quote from this review:"The Vibe's the guilt-free and bull****-free way to buy American."
