  Love it - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By scott - October 24 - 4:03 pm

  I have put 21,000 miles on my car and consistently get around 30 MPG. 80 highway 20 city. I have read the reviews and all the people complaining about radio, seats and engine performance, and other stuff. Let me tell them and you, do not go cheap, get the GT loaded up. The only option I did not get is the automatic. I did not want it. This little car handles just fine in the snow too. Traction control is very helpful. I have had no trouble with it so far. (8 months) If you are thinking of buying one, do not hesitate. Just go buy one.

  Driving the Pontiac Vibe - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Lou Welke - October 19 - 8:33 am

  This Pontiac Vibe is one of many Pontiacs that I have owned. Having AWD on this car is awesome I was driving on packed snow and ice and it just kept on going and driving through deep snow didnt stop it and I passed vehicles on my street that had fwd and were stuck. The acceleration is very good and the gas mileage is acceptable. This is a great car and my wife loves it. We just drove from Grand Rapids Mich. to Pensacola Fl with a lot of baggage and it had lots of room for all of it.

  By Nate - September 24 - 12:00 pm

  This car has mojo It has both fit and function. Best of all, Im getting no less than 29 mpg highway with a full load and AC running out of a 2.4 L 5 speed automatic. I give it a 10 for the price.

  A winner - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Bill - September 23 - 2:20 pm

  We purchased the Vibe after much research, to replace our 2000 Impala. The Vibe has great interior room. Functional and fun to drive. The 2.4 motor has enough pickup when merging into traffic. It looks good too!

  interior durability - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By janice - June 11 - 10:40 am

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

  Have twins! - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By bought2nd - May 29 - 7:33 pm

  Bought a 1.8 liter in March for my wife. I liked it so much that when I found a used one on the internet, I went and bought it. Did not realize it was a 2.4 liter. Has more power that the 1.8, but fuel economy is still good (approx 27) city driving.

  Outstanding Value, a Few Minor Issues - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By bill - May 11 - 11:33 pm

  Ive owned my very fun-to-drive Vibe GT for ~2 weeks and so far I love it, although I agree with others that there are a few things that it could use improvements which keep it from being a 10. I love the styling compared to its competitors (much cooler looks compared to Versa, Matrix, Fit, 10 Mazda3[what did they do to this cars front end?]). I love the value; it has everything you need a few great extras, and you can get a loaded GT for ~$19K if you shop around (again better than the competition). Nice standard extras are Monsoon w/ XM radio, OnStar, steering wheel controls, leather accents, ABS, traction, 18" alloys. Also love the cargo versatility of the hatchback.

  Great Value - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Opnun - April 30 - 6:20 am

  This car has been a great buy! Purchased new. After one year of ownership, absolutely no problems (especially related to the accelerator recall). Have performed all regular maintenance, taken several long trips (1000+ miles) and the car has performed flawlessly. I am 62" and have plenty of room and dont feel beat up after a long trip. Love the extras that I couldnt find on a comparative Honda Fit, including Onstar, XM radio, traction control, AC Power plug, and spacious interior for a compact wagon. 2.4 liter engine is great for quick acceleration. Have gotten up to 35 mpg on highway at 70 mph. Deals were so good at the time, I wish I had bought two!

  not too bad - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By iag1 - March 20 - 3:10 pm

  My first car was a Lexus , so i am basically downgrading my ride to a more economical car that is a hatchback with a GM brand but with better safety features. The ride is actually pretty smooth but i sure miss the powerful engine. The cabin is pretty quiet and roomy. It doesnt feel like a small car at all.But the rear view needs work.It has blind spots.it needs bigger side mirror like the Scion. I had a bad experience after the sale was done, the dealer is not cooperative in canceling the extras I signed for.
