A Great Little Car that GM Killed

A great vehicle that unfortunately fell due to the fate of GM. Purchased 2 years ago and no issues at all - always follow the scheduled maintenance and visit a GM dealer. I would purchase a Vibe as my next vehicle if it still existed.
2009 Base 2.4 w/5sp auto, 80K Miles so far

Bought new in July of '09. Base model with 2.4L/5sp-auto, PS,PL,cruise, keyless. Now pushing 80K miles with few issues. On my second set of tires and brakes. My steering column rattles (very common), cold starts sometime produce a timing cam rattle (common) and the paint chips and scratches easily (common). Fully loaded with family of 4 + gear on trip to Tenn. got me just shy of 32mpg. Even with my heavy foot, I still avg. 28mpg in daily mixed driving. Great fun to drive. Does everything I need. Was cheap to buy and maintain. Sharp little car. I have truly enjoyed it. I just added a K&N CAI and she sounds great, any mpg increase will be a bonus.

Great Value for dependable car to run around town. We bought ours for our teen drivers to use. It had ESC which is hard to find in a base model affordable car before 2010.

This car is great! We've had it for about 2 1/2 years and it's running strong, even being driven by a teenager. We are pleased with the mileage, styling, comfort and power of this car.
Great little car

I have had two years of fun and economical driving. It has lots of space for carrying people and cargo. The cargo area is high enough that I was even able to get a boxed dishwasher in the back with the seats folded and the lift gate closed, yet it still feels like a compact vehicle. Manual driver's seat adjustment up and down is possible (not just sliding the seat back and forth), a plus for short people. Mileage is 30-33 on the freeway. I would buy another in the future if they were still making them. Dealer and service are great.
Love my vibe....But!

I have the 2009 base model 1.8 liter engine with automatic transmission. Great little car...good on gas very few repairs plus one set of new tires. 2 complaints, one it drives awful in snow, 1 inch or more...Tried 3 sets of different brands of dedicated snow tires and found that The Dunlap winter sport 3D's worked the best on this car.... in any snow, can't drive with all-season tires tried it twice not good ! Second problem is it is hard to see out the back side window if any cars are coming your way when backing out of a parking space.

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

Bought the car new. Roomy enough for me. I like this size car because it's easy to park and maneuver around. Gas fill ups aren't as costly, it doesn't block people's view. Easy to work on when needed. Tire replacement doesn't break the bank. However, this one is an oil consumption vehicle so I add oil and do frequent oil changes. 176,000 miles , no problems so far👍

This is the best little car I've had. My only complaint is that it's not the quietest ride, but not terrible either. I wish they were still in production, I would buy another. The Matrix's outside isn't as appealing, otherwise I would have considered one of those. With tree GT trim, you get a whole lot of power in a compact package.

Noisy, Poor outward visibility

I have driven this car only for two weeks and my first impression was how small this car is and fits so much inside. It took me a while until I got used to windows and mirrors, its hard to see everything from these little windows so I was always worried about the blind spots. Also the way the hood was designed there is no way that you can see the end of the car or at least if you are close to hit something. The way the car handles is really good, it lacks power but what can you expect from a 1.8 liter engine. The main issue that I had with this car was the road noise, its so weird that you can never get comfortable when you drive on a highway from the noise level.
More room than you think

The front passenger seat folds down as well as the back seat, loads of cargo room.
