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.

I Purchased My 2010 Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix 3 Months Ago, Its Equipped With The 1.8L And 4speed Auto. Il Get into the Pros First. The Steering Is Beautifully Weighted And Never Leaves Me Guessing, It Really Is A Fun Car To Drive. There is lots of Space In This Car For What I Need It For Like Driving Around With Friends. The Interior Is Simple But Clean And Pleasant. The Car Has Aged Quite Well And Has Had No Serious Mechanical Issues (My Example has 743,987km). This Car Is Honestly Not Bad For A Start. Getting Into Some Cons, There Is Alot Of Minor Things. The Shocks Are God Awful, I Commute just shy of 500km Per Day And At least 100km is On Surface City Streets. At Normal Speeds It Feels Like The Shocks Aren't Even There, Concrete Blocks Would Be More Effective. Its Ok On Gas, Not The Best Out There But Not The Worst. The Small Gas Tank Really Leaves A lot To Be Desired. This Is More Of A Personal Issue But The Car Is Extremely Sluggish. I Understand That This Is Not Meant To Be Fast But I Shouldn't Have To Put My Foot To The Floor To Get To Freeway Speeds In A Reasonable Amount Of Time. This Car Has Been Checked Time After Time And It Is Not A Suspension Issue, The Car Becomes Unpredictable And Floaty At 80km/h (50mph), Not Sure What Causes This But Its Really Annoying And Sometimes Dangerous. My Final Few Complaints Are For People That Like To Do They're Own Work. Changing Your Headlights Is Harder Than It Needs To Be, The Placement Of The Tubing, Wiring And Other Engine Components Is Inconvenient At Best. The Car Is Also Difficult To Jack Up Due To The Poor Placement Of The Plastic Side Skirts. Finally This Car Like Many Cars, Has A Heatshield Issue Where The Heatshield Comes Loose And Makes A Loud And Distracting Rattle And Taping Sound When Driving Or Even Idling. In Summary, If Your Looking For An A To B Machine This Car Is A Good And Reliable Car, However, Expect To Be Visiting The Pumps 3 to 4 Times Per Week, Trying To Guess Which Way The Car Is Going To Wander Next, And To Be Tossed Around When Driving On Surface Streets.

This is actually the 1.8 L auto which is not listed as an option on Edmunds. This is a great under the radar car. It is compact enough to get good gas mileage and fit in small spaces but still feels spacious inside, with a lot of possible cargo room. I like the exterior styling better than the matrix (it's twin) or the fit. No problems so far!
Worth every penny

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

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?
