Review: I am male, 50 years old, and rent many different cars. This car is not the best, and is not the worst. It is actualy better than the Civic, my last car. But not as good as Honda CRV that my wife has. I have read quite a few reviews and read that the main ...

Review: I recently rented this car (in winter) from Manhattan from National. To start of, let me say that I was not happy that I got an SUV, but since National's office was upstairs and the garage was downstairs, I was not in a mood to have it changed especially ...

Cons: Poor view when looking back, no tilt or cruise with this package!

The Bottom Line: This is a nicely thought out car that's comfortable and affordable to drive and affordable to own.

Pros: good miles per gallon

Cons: no compass in the dashboard :-(

Review: I find that I'm getting 30 miles per gallon on the vibe. While this is great after my previous car which got 16 mpg, my vibe isn't getting mileage of 35 which I had hoped for. My vibe is a 2006 and has been super dependable. I wish it had a compass ...
