Re: Everything you need to know about the Vibe

Good info. I didn't realize the GT trim wasn't available continuously throughout production. Wonder why there was a 2 year gap in 2007/8?

Re: Pre Vibe were you a Toyota or GM person? (Or neither?)

OP here. My family is mostly GM and Toyota people, the later being post 1980s converts. Quite a few of us have gotten NUMMI vehicles: 3 family members had 1980s Chevy Novas (Corollas), a cousin had an early 2000s Geo Prizm, and I now have the last generation Vibe, the last ever NUMMI vehicle. All bu...

Pre Vibe were you a Toyota or GM person? (Or neither?)

Just wondering if most Vibe owners on here were Toyota or GM loyalist prior to getting a Vibe? How many were neither or had no preference?

Re: Any trailer hitch fit the 2009/10 Vibe GT?

Thanks! Would any hitch that fits a 2009+ Matrix XRS also fit a Vibe GT?

Any trailer hitch fit the 2009/10 Vibe GT?

I've seen that at least some trailer hitches will not fit on the GT trim. Anyone know of any that would fit? Would like a trailer hitch bike rack if possible.

Re: Vibe Replacements / Successors

Gen 2 Vibe is almost identical in dimensions to today's compact crossovers like the Honda HRV, Toyota CHR, Chevy Trax, etc. If next week my income doubles and my Vibe is totaled I would gravitate towards Honda HRV, Mazda 3 or CX3, Buick Encore, or Toyota Corolla IM. I want to see a CHR in person, ph...

Re: New 2009 GT owner

A few pics of the 2009 Vibe I just bought for $8990 with 78k miles. Previous 2 owners took good care of it though one of them had the grill and front Pontiac emblem painted black. Getting a new front emblem next week. They also took off the "Pontiac" and "Vibe GT" word emblems on...

Re: New 2009 GT owner

Took my 2009 GT to the mechanic for a look over and it is in great condition. Steering and suspension noise I worried about is common with the setup GM uses, they checked it over and it's fine. Anyone had any problems with the outside temperature sensor? I'm get erratic and very high readings, like ...

Re: New 2009 GT owner

Thanks, I've ordered that part. One of the two previous owners did some interesting customizing. They pained the front grill and Pontiac emblem over with black paint and on the back removed the Pontiac and Vibe GT wording decals. I'm going to spend a bit of money undoing most of their damage. But th...

Re: New 2009 GT owner

Can those consoles only come off a 2009/10 Vibe? Such a short production span that not many are on the road, far fewer in junk yards.

Re: New 2009 GT owner

Mine is clearly missing those middle console dividers. I have tried looking for them online with no luck. Any idea what they are officially called?

Re: New 2009 GT owner

Hi, I am also a new 2009 Vibe GT owner with a few questions. 1. Should there be some accessory in the middle console for cup holders? 2 2. It some sort of an occasional rattle in the steering area common? Steering wheel is harder to turn than most cars I've had. 3. What type of gas mileage do you al...
