With the 2009 rollout, All Wheel Drive and GT models return, thus restoring the same breadth of the Vibe lineup that it had at the beginning of its first generation. The base, front-wheel-drive model has a starting sticker price of $15,895. AWD models begin at $19,495, and the sportier GT version is offered at $19,895. Vibe shares its platform and powertrain choices with the Toyota Matrix. The base engine is Toyota’s 1.8-liter, 132-hp four, linked to either a five-speed stick or optional four speed automatic. A 2.4-liter, 158-hp four is optional on base models and standard on GT and AWD versions. All AWD models get a four speed automatic transmission. Buyers of the 2.4 on either base or GT models can opt for a five-speed automatic, or stick with the five-speed stick.Vibe feels nimble and stable on the road, and its compact size makes it easy to fit into parking spaces or squeeze into tight traffic. That’s a skill this Pontiac will get plenty of practice at. The new Vibe is slick looking and versatile, but it now shares the crossover stage with an ever expanding cast of competitors, all vying for the same role. Tight traffic, indeed.I drove several different vehicles before finally driving the 2009 vibe. We are a family of 4, and this car is perfect for us! The gas mph is well over 30! (34) to be exact and I have a lead foot! Anyone looking for a great vehicle that isnt too small and not to big, and looking for gas mph, this car is perfect. With several features including the 2.4 motor we got into this vehicle for under 19K! This car has plenty of power and is very driver friendly, im 40 years old and this is the best quality vehicle I have ever owned under 20k.
