2009 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I bought the 2009 Vibe with 1.8 liter engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. The power is sufficient and the gas mileage is excellent. The engine does not feel strained and remains quiet even at speeds above 80 mph. On the exterior, the Vibe is somewhat better looking than its sister, the Toyota Matrix. The interior is ergonomic, comfortable and well designed.
Vibe does it all very well!

I have the 1.8 L Base model. It was inexpensive. I average better then 33 mpg with mixed city/hgwy driving. It's also comfy and roomy. People comment on its good looks. Good stereo, AC, and cargo area. It also pulls my 1200 lb boat package. This vehicle suits all of my driving needs, and does it quite well. I have been thrilled and very happy with it.

2009 Pontiac Vibe 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Pros: Toyota Engine -Great gas mileage -Sporty look Cons: Noise every time you go from park to drive and start to move. It is the anti-lock breaks kicking in. Drove three others. Same thing. Dealer said it was not designed very well because you could hear it kicking in. - XM radio cuts song title information off. I had XM 5 years ago and my radio could display the entire song. Cuts it off even if you switch to non-flashing mode and have to push info button. Bad design! - Doors make a slight vibrating noise when closing them. Again tried 3 others and same thing. Body design flaw - Little noises coming from the dash area even when driving on a smooth highway or road
Not just a city car

Purchased my Vibe one day and set out on a 2000 km journey the next and was very impressed with the ride and handling. Completing mostly highway driving the 2.4 L engine has lot of power and is able to cruise along comfortably at above average highway speeds. For a small car the gas mileage is not overly great and is better compared to a small SUV than a car of equal size. However, if the Vibe is going to be used for highway driving the bigger engine provides lot of power for passing and merging into traffic. One real benefit of this vehicle is that it is able to handle unpaved roads very well and the traction control is an added asset when coming upon loose gravel.

2009 Pontiac Vibe GT 4dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

I originally had a 2003 Vibe and got almost 5 good years out of it before trading it in for a G6. When searching for a second car this summer I tried to avoid looking at another Vibe, wanting to try something new, but I couldn't help it and realized that the 2009 Vibe is definitely that something new I was looking for. Once driving a GT I realized it had everything my 2003 lacked, especially power. Driving a lot of highway miles the difference in the upgrade to the 2.4L auto 5-speed is quite noticeable. I love the feel and comfort, along with the safety. I am definitely glad I invested in a Vibe once again.
