Looked for a 2009 Pontiac Vibe based on a Consumer Reports recommendation when I was looking for a good used car at the end of 2013. I continue to be very pleased with my sporty little car. My mechanic said it was "kind of peppy." He likes it too, and he said they are easy to work on.

Needed AWD due to living in Northern New England. Vibe was cheaper than Matrix with better warranty. Paid less than invoice. Needed versatility which Vibe had. People love the way it looks. Good value with Sun and Sound Package, AWD and Convenience package.

Very happy with my Vibe so far except that I notice the interior scratches easily. I don't have kids or dogs and I am not hard on my cars . I haven't even gone camping yet and my interior is all scratched up. Anyone else have this problem?

Second Time Around

1-12-09 replaced '03 Vibe with '09 AT Pwr Pkg msrp 19,480 due to adv deal I couldn't refuse, 11,913+tax/title; 2000 under invoice, 1500 rebates, 3000 GM Card (upped from $1850 by GM offer), 250 dlr coupon. Free Garmin GPS. Sold '03 33m miles for 9,500. Only issue so far is a few rattles. Less engine/road noise than the '03 and many extra safety features - 4 whl disc ABS, Stab Ctrl, 6 airbags. Just enough bigger than the FIT to be practical with nearly same mpg. Getting used to electric power steering but that is the current trend. Drive by wire seems no different. Just as comfortable, no harder to see out of than the '03 - got to use your mirrors. Hope to keep this Matrix twin 10+ yrs

Great Car

I purchased this car in late June and it has been fantastic! Great gas mileage (50% HWY) @ 28 MPG. I am 6 ft 3 in and I am very comfortable in the Vibe. The 2.4 L engine has plenty of passing power and climbs hills with no problems. I would recommend this car to anyone.
