My console Vim works just fine. Perhaps try running the executable provided with MacVim and see if that helps. /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim should run just fine in console mode. You can symlink it, of course, for regular use, e.g. sudo ln -s /Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim /usr/bin/vim (or /usr/local/bin/vim or /opt/local/bin/vim or whatever suits you best) The problems could be that the other console Vims you have been using don't have enough features compiled in, or something like that. Also, remember that console colours are different to GUI colours, and not all colourschemes support both, or support both well. In the console there are only 16 colours that can be used, so most colourschemes look pretty bland in the console, even if they do support it. It's also possible it's related to your Terminal.app settings. Mine declare $TERM to be xterm-color, and it seems to work OK, but other things may react differently with Vim and colours in particular.
