  1 yr, 26000 miles - Nice Car - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Nancy - May 16 - 8:26 pm

  I waited for the AWD to return in 2009, and am happy I did. Nice, tight steering, it has more pickup than my 6 cyl Stratus, & the AWD plows through snow like a champ. Lots of cargo space and super-versatile layout. I can fit almost anything that would have fit in my Blazer. CONS: I wish the Vibe offered more options. In this day and age, it’s crazy that you can’t get power seats even if you want them! Like others, I noticed the chippy paint, but thought it was due to living on a rocky dirt road. Also, everyone is raving about the milage- it’s ok, but I think a car of this size could do better. Overall, I LOVE it! This is a great car for the money and I would happily buy another.

  Good Vibes - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Skychief - April 2 - 11:53 am

  Very nice little car. Wonderful and fun to drive around town. Handles well. Doors close nicely. Seems to have been built with quality with good attention to detail. Im a big guy and I fit in it just fine. Its amazingly roomy inside.

  Nice Car - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By John - January 28 - 7:40 pm

  I bought this car to replace my 1999 SC1 Saturn. I was looking at the Toyota Matrix but the Vibe is the same car and I got a better deal. The ride is real smooth and is very easy to park in tight places. The only real gripe is you can not turn off the headlights, even in park. Most cars come with a off switch for the automatic lights but this car does not have the capability.

  2009 Pontiac Vibe-GT - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Larry S. Pitts - January 15 - 9:26 am

  I only have about 600 miles on this car as it was purchased in late April-08. So far it has more than met my expectations. I traded in a large SUV that averaged about 14mpg. The 1st tank of gas I put in the Vibe averaged 26mpg and was all in town driving. I was very surprised that the 2.4-4 cyl engine had the pep that it does. Its a great car to drive.

  Excellent - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Carrie - January 2 - 4:56 pm

  I was researching a 2005-2007 Vibe and one could not be found that did not have extremely high miles. That should have told me something. I purchased my Vibe on 05/03/08 and absolutely love it. It is very fun to drive and handles great.

  Love that engine! - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By ray the german - December 21 - 9:10 am

  My previous vehicle was a 2005 Pontiac Vibe and did not have any problems with it whatsoever, however due to the new safety features, new look, and the excellent 2.4 L engine, I traded it in for a new 2009 Vibe GT. Drove the vehicle to and from North Carolina two days after purchasing it and averaged 30 miles to the gallon. I love the pep of the engine and its just a fun car to drive!

  My Second Vibe - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Ron - November 4 - 1:00 am

  This is my second Vibe---my first is an 03 with 103K miles which my teenage son will inherit. The 03 has been flawlessly reliable! I purchased the 09 last week at an incredible deal--$4300 off in GM/Drivers Edge card rebates, $3000 in additional rebates for paying cash, and at a price that was well below invoice!! I was a little concerned that Pontiac parts might not be available in the long haul but GM insures me that Vibe owners will be supported for years to come. Since the power train is Toyota I am not concerned. If you are shopping for a reliable vehicle that gets great mpg--Vibe is the way to go.

  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.
