  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.

  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!

  I LOVE my Vibe - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Hez - February 15 - 4:53 pm

  The Vibe, by far, is the roomiest and best-riding car in its class and it is very fun to drive. Having previously driven a Suburban, surprisingly, I do NOT feel like my bottom is dragging on the ground. This car was purchased primarily for driving around town with kids in tow. There is plenty of room in the back for them being in car seats. My dog even enjoys riding in the "trunk"! For those of you who think the Vibe is comparable to the Dodge Caliber, youre thinking WRONG! I drove the Caliber and the Vibe in the same day and there is NO comparison. The fuel economy is also great. I just filled up my tank in the Vibe and calculated 26 mpg city driving in 3rd gear! (see improvements)

  After 2 years and 40K, no regrets! - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By snowdog_ix - January 6 - 2:48 pm

  Bought this car new from a dealer a couple of years ago. I am 64", and I loved the headroom/interior space in this vehicle. I am a single father and was looking for value, reliability and gas efficiency. After a couple of tanks of gas driving in the city, I realized I was getting 7L/100km. Awesome! I am over 40K now and have only had it into the shop for 2 recalls. It has never let me down. It is not super powerfull on the highway. (slow going up a hill with the kids in the back) But I will trade that for the gas mileage I get any day. On-star in-car phone was interesting for the first year, but I let it expire because I didnt want to pay the fees.

  A Versatile Fun Car - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Brian G. - November 24 - 6:53 am

  Ive only had this car for 2 weeks. Its so much fun to drive, and handles like a much more expensive vehicle. The ride is quiet and smooth, and the 2.4 engine provides more than enough power. The interior seems spacious and all the controls are in easy access. The interior uses alot of plastic, however it does not look or appear cheap. The seats are very comfortable in the front and rear, and the cargo space is incredible when the rear seats are folded down. The A/C blows nice and cold which is a plus, since I live in Florida. I wanted the upgraded radio, but mine has the base radio, however it sounds great. Ive driven in some very heavy rain, and this car was terrific! GREAT CAR!!!

  Always loved this car! - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Cgts - November 8 - 10:13 pm

  All I can say is that anything would have suited me fine after having driven a Daewoo Lanos! But, I always admired the Pontiac Vibe for its adorable design since the first time I ever saw it. These new defined designs of the car is just stunning! Ive got the GT, and I love how this car looks! As an art major, it has been just spectacular having so much cargo space to haul my sculptures and oversized paintings. Very reliable car, not to mention it is crazy fun to drive. One thing I thought was great about the car was the magnificent interior design, but this is coming from someone who used to have cup holders directly under the radio, so I guess theres room for improvement on that note.

  Basic Transport with attitude! - 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  By Tundra88 - October 16 - 8:36 am

  My family needed to replace a very unreliable Volvo and decided to go with this Vibe. Toyota build at a GM price. Of course since the purchase weve had to deal with the gas pedal recall but otherwise its been flawless. During the recent Atlanta ice storm we parked my 4WD pickup and drove the Vibe. It was great in the icy conditions. Stability control is awesome! Good gas mileage, decent handling and (subjective) good looking. Everyone in the family loves driving the Vibe, its no race car, but then its not supposed to be...
