The 2003 Pontiac Vibe is a compact crossover SUV that was introduced as part of a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. Despite its SUV designation, the Vibe is built on the same platform as the Toyota Corolla, sharing many of its components and mechanicals. While marketed as a Pontiac, it was essentially a badge-engineered Toyota Matrix, with only minor styling distinctions. This collaboration resulted in a vehicle that combined the practicality of a wagon with the elevated seating position and cargo space of an SUV, making it a compelling option for those seeking a versatile and fuel-efficient vehicle.

Upon its launch, the Vibe offered a choice of two four-cylinder engines, a 1.8-liter unit delivering 130 horsepower and a more powerful 1.8-liter engine producing 164 horsepower. Both engines were mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Vibe's compact size and relatively lightweight construction contributed to its decent fuel economy, especially when equipped with the smaller engine. The interior, while not luxurious, was functional and comfortable, offering ample space for passengers and cargo. The Vibe's standard features included air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player. Several optional packages were available, adding amenities like cruise control, power sunroof, and premium audio system. The 2003 Vibe was praised for its versatility, affordability, and reliability, becoming a popular choice for young families and those seeking a practical and efficient vehicle.
