Review: 2009 Pontiac Vibe - Options Galore and 8 Cupholders
Blings:
* Two powerful and fuel-efficient engines
* Stabilitrak standard on all models
* Flexible and Usable
* Options Galore
Dings:
* Poor visibility out rear window
* Rev limiter kicks in right at redline
* Options Galore
Ruling: For those who like options with their small utility vehicle, look no further.
When the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix - sister cars built through a joint venture in Fremont, CA - were released in 2002, they represented a new direction in practical yet fun cars. When people first saw them, some were confused as to what they were supposed to be. It looked part minivan, part hatchback and part sports sedan. Some call it a “small crossover”. Whatever the classification, after six model years of successful sales, the Vibe and Matrix have sold quite well. But like any car that’s gone six years without a redesign, it’s look has become a bit tired. So when GM designers and engineers sat down to create the 2009 Pontiac Vibe, they wanted to make sure the ‘part minivan’ part no longer registered in the minds of potential buyers, so they styled it, contoured it and chopped a little off the roof. They also focused on improving it’s ride quality, powertrain options and interior noise levels.
