Favorite feature:	Everything -- the entire car.
Least favorite feature:	My wife says the back seat is a bit hard. I disagree. Therefore, nothing.
Advice to buyer:	BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!!
Detailed review:	For an economy car, I could not be more impressed. As a matter of fact, I have been waiting to buy this car since it first came out. The first test drive that I took hooked me on this car before I had traveled a half a mile. I have now had my 2005 Vibe for five months, and everything on the car works as it should. Moreover, on the highway, it handles incredibly well, and the 'feel' is extremely similar to our Grand Prix GT, which is an outstanding car itself on the Interstate. For me and for what I want in a psuedo-SUV, this is the perfect car. PS: For some reason, the Toyota Matrix did not feel the same at all. The seats, for me, were uncomfortable, and the overall ergonomy of the interior did not work. Additionally, the feel on the highway was somewhat similar to the sensations that I imagine a large, covered skateboard would give. I have no axe to grind against Toyota. As a matter of fact, I own stock in both Toyota and GM.
