Hot Hatch

I took the GT model. Thought this car was SOOO much fun! I love the versatility of the hatchback/wagon type of car (and yes, I'm comfortable with calling it a wagon!). The placement of the shifter couldn't be better. Surprisingly quiet on the expressway and fun to flog around town! The power is all from 6000-8000 RPM, which means you don't always get into it in daily driving. Ideally, I'd have the base w/5-speed and the GT suspension.

My wife and I bought the Vibe as a second car. We are both 6ft+ and it has great head room and fair leg room. It also good gas milage. The back seat has room for a car seat and two grandparents. We are very happy with it.

Vibe GT

Versatile, roomy, efficient, and thoroughly enjoyable. Prever the Vibe's styling to the boy-racer Matrix, plastic cladding improves the aesthetics by deemphasizing the car's height, cladding will also prevent paint chipping on rural roads. Driving position: seats, pedals, gearshift... all A+. Will hold four 6'3" adults comfortably, manual transmission is a must, love the red guage illumination, GPS navigation system is amazing... If you can find a better nav system in a car under $40K, buy it! ...worth every dollar!

I was SO hesistant about buying this car. I was downsizing from a Chevy Blazer and wasn't sure I wanted an American car again. I had to test drive it three times. But I love it now. It's reliable - good in our winter snowstorms - and incredibly fun to drive, even if it's only a 4 cylinder. There is a ton of storage space and it will make a great "baby" car in a few years. I get tons of comments on it - how cool it looks interior and exterior.
