 Detailed review:

I looked at the 2004 Subaru Forester, 2004 Honda CRV, and the 2004 Vibe AWD. After comparing all the features and prices, I settled on the Vibe AWD with all three option packages. For the price, the fully loaded Vibe looked the best value for my money. I was a little leary of its 123 HP rating. However, it has much more pep then you are led to believe from the articles You read. When I picked it up from the dealer, I had to drive it 26 miles back to New York City. I was pleasently surprised by its handeling and performance in rush hour traffic. This is a very roomy and versitle vehicle. The only thing I would improve is the layout and size of the cup holders on the center console. They should be bigger and layed out side by side instead of front to back. A power adjustable driver seat would also be nice
