Vibe's cockpit-like interior is tightly laid out to provide a precise, comfortable driving environment. This makes it easy to load, whether bringing home a load of groceries or moving off to college. Or is it a utility interior? Driving Vibe is like driving a sports car - but with one touch, the rear seats fold flat, creating a level load floor and 54.1 cubic feet (1,532L) of cargo volume.
2004 PONTIAC VIBE MANUAL
Combined with either the standard five-speed manual or available automatic transmission, this makes Vibe one of the great small performance rides in America. With the supercharger, the Vibe will gain 7.5 pounds of engine boost and an approximately 35-percent increase in horsepower and torque. Installed at Pontiac dealers, the SPO supercharger is designed specifically for Vibe's 1.8-liter engine and is fully warranted for the same period as the Vibe. The base model gets an even bigger boost with a newly available SPO (GM Service and Parts Operations) supercharger kit. The power comes from a combination of changes, including modified heads and the VVTL-i system that increases the intake/exhaust lift when engine speed is high, improving output and fuel efficiency. The high-performance GT engine, also a 1.8L powerplant, is rated at 173 horsepower (129 kw) and can rocket the Vibe from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in the low 8-second range. The all-wheel-drive version is available exclusively with the automatic transmission. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base engine and a four-speed automatic is available. (posted on ) The inline four is a front-mounted, transverse design with dual overhead cams. This base engine red lines at 6000 rpm, yet still gets great fuel economy - estimated 29 mpg city / 36 mpg highway with a manual transmission.
2004 PONTIAC VIBE FULL
The base model is full of spunk with a 1.8L I-4, which produces 130 horsepower (97 kw) and 125 lb.-ft. Recessed fog lamps and rear cornering lamps, short overhangs and large wheels and tires project an aggressive, ground-hugging stance while optimizing vehicle stability. Vibe also features other traditional Pontiac styling cues, such as 'cat-eye' headlamps and a wide, muscular stance. Its unique, integrated roof rack contributes to the sleek, distinctive wedge appearance. Vibe looks like it's moving even when sitting still, and when in motion it turns heads everywhere. Production of the 2005 Vibe begins in May at New Únited Motor Manufacturing in Fremont, California. Vibe posted 56,922 sales in 2003 - an increase of more than 45 percent over 2002. A supercharger also is available, which boosts horsepower by 30 percent and torque by 18 percent. Vibe's increasing popularity with enthusiasts is backed by GM with a line of tailored accessories and performance parts from GM SPO, including a sport package that includes front and rear fascia extensions, side skirts and dual spoilers. It is rated at 130 horsepower and 125 lb.-ft. ( posted on ) The dual-overhead-cam engine employs variable valve timing to continuously optimize performance and fuel economy.

'The Vibe has invigorated Pontiac with its unique spin on performance and versatility,' said Jim Bunnell, Pontiac-GMC general manager.
All of these new products strengthen the momentum of Pontiac's design and performance renaissance. Like the Solstice, the Vibe's new appearance characterizes the contemporary performance look of other recently introduced Pontiac models, including the G6 sedan, GTO and Bonneville GXP. Styling changes include a restyled front fascia and a grille inspired by the 2006 Solstice roadster. The renaissance continues with the introduction of the 2005 Vibe at the Chicago Auto Show. Introduced originally in 2003, the Vibe marked a return to sporty, fun vehicles at Pontiac. A popular performer and an important part of Pontiac's ongoing product renaissance, the Vibe has been freshened for the 2005 model year with a new, distinctly Pontiac flair.
