  Vibe - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By 2009 Base - June 2 - 12:10 am

  I traded in my beloved Jeep Wrangler for the Vibe. Aside from the fact that I can no longer take the top down on a nice day I really like this car. I am a big guy and I do not feel the least bit cramped, nor is there an issue of getting in and out of the car. It is fun to drive and really very quite. If you get one, pay for the power package. I did not do this and now wish I would have.

  Cmon! Interior coming apart after 3 months - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By R&L - April 16 - 4:03 am

  We purchased this vehicle four months ago. First rims had bubbles in them, then the lever to release seat came apart and now after 4 months the window console panel is popping up. Very cheaply made and whats the deal with the stupid storage racks! couldnt come up with something better? I could go on and on about things that we found wrong with this Jewel from GM. Way to go boys! Wont get another purchase from me again!

  Back to the Vibe - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Mraz77 - February 10 - 11:20 am

  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 couldnt 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.

  09 Vibe 5m - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Joed - January 8 - 4:10 am

  Im delighted with the car. Smooth ride. Easy, light operation of clutch and shifter. Geared so I can get into 5th at 40 or 45, which is economical for my city driving but may explain why EPA highway is only 32. IP attractive and easy to read but I wish speedometer numbers were by 10s not 20s. Pleased to find the 1.8 engine quite adequate.

  More fun than I hoped - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By joep - January 4 - 11:46 pm

  This is actually the 5 sp Auto. Just turned 3000 miles and I still love to get in this car and drive. With fairly aggressive driving, I consistently get 25 mpg combined urban/freeway driving and over 29 on the freeway. Very comfortable with a great sound system. You can take circular freeway on-ramps at high rate of speed and it stays firmly planted in your lane and with very little body roll. The "torquey" engine is always ready to scoot when you want to. My two previous cars were a Mustang SVO and a Taurus SHO and I really dont miss them.
