Just went by my local dealer THAT USED TO SELL PONTIACS. They still sell Bufords and GMCs. Anyway they had 3 Regals sitting there still in the white plastic wrap. Decent looking car. However, I was turned off when I read the "origin" sheet. Assembled in Germany, that tells me it's an Opel....

Got to vent. I got popped Friday for a window tint repair warning on my 09 GT. I have had the tint on the car for over a year now. I drive it to all the same places, work etc. On my way home from work a local stopped me and gave me a warning/repair ticket. I know I have passed this same officer doze...

update--yea I know no one answered the original post, but I had the noise fixed. Took it to the dealer and told them about it. They said there weren't any service bulletins about it. They took off the cowl plates and put insuulation between them and the "plate" that they sit on/clip to. Th...

Any one else experiencing a squeak/pop noise from your plastic "cowl" pieces that fit around the wiper arms? Mine has been making a noise for the last couple of months every time I hit a bump or the road is the least bit rough. It is really beginning to be annoying. I looked at it and it s...

I lost 1 cap about a week after getting mine. The dealer ordered a new one and siliconed the new one in. Took 2 somewhat rough road trips and all are still intact.

shadow_dog

Just had 2 road trips with our 09 GT. Both were right around 1300 miles each. I have my seat set all the way back as far as front to back adjustment, and the steering wheel all the way up and in. The wife had the passenger seat in the farthest back location. Neither of us had any fatigue issues at a...

I can compare my 09 GT to my ex 06 base.After 2 recent trips to Michigan from Ohio, my wife and I both prefer our 09GT. Some of our opinions---The glove box is better on the 09.Cup holders are better.Ride and seats are better.The gas mileage was almost even on road trips between the 2, I prefer the ...

After seeing your pics, if you bought it at Borcherding in Kings Auto Mall Cincinnati, you can probably rest assurred about the car. I have bought from them before, they are local to me. Pretty good dealership.

shadow_dog

Hello everyone,FWIW, I just want to give my opinion about my 09 GT 5sp auto, after a 1225 mile round road trip. I live just above Cincinnati, Ohio. Wife and I drove up I-75 to Sault St Marie, Mi. We went to several off the interstate towns and even down a dirt/gravel road to one destination. So it i...

06 base Vibe sounded like the seat belt warning was on full volume. I hated that noise. My new 09 GT is nowhere near as loud as the 06, thank god.

shadow_dog

750 miles later mine is fine. I am going on a road trip from Cincy, Oh up to the top of Michigan this coming week. will report anything unusual when I get back.

shadow_dog

I like mine better than my 06 base. Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. FWIW, when I bought my 06 my 24 year old daughter said it was ugly, and had the profile of a rollerskate. All my co-workers and friends like my 09 better than my 06.

shadow_dog

I apologize. When I test drove mine, I reached down to release the button that allows the seat to decline. Instead I got a hold of the lever that tilts the seat forward. I gave it a couple of hits and felt the seat press against my back more, I figured it was lumbar support the way it felt on my bac...

Quote, originally posted by scooter Â»Adjustable lumbar support? They must have left that off mine.. Sorry if they left off your drivers lumbar support. Mine has it.

shadow_dog

^^^looks identical to mine except I have dark tint on my windows now.

shadow_dog

Mine is Carbon Gray. I don't have any pics yet, but will get some and post them.

shadow_dog

I picked up my GT. The dealer said there weren't any caps available. He said they are on back order till GM figures out the problem. Any way, now I have an empty spot on one of the rims till GM gets it together.

shadow_dog

Dealer I bought my GT from had an AWD that had a roof rack on it. Check with Pontiac

shadow_dog

Just got back from dropping off my GT at the dealer for warranty work. The drivers door key tumbler and plastic surround is loose, you can move it around freely with your fingers.When I got off work today prior to going to the dealer I noticed I was missing a center cap off of one of my rims. I told...

shadow_dog

IMO, the new seats are more comfortable than the old. I like the adjustible lumbar support.

shadow_dog

it does seem somewhat quieter as to the wind noise and some road noise.

shadow_dog

Report on our new 09 GT. Spent the whole day out doing shopping & errands driving the GT. Had the GT since last Monday. Kept it in the garage till Friday and just drove it to the window tint shop on Friday.Got to admit this car makes me smile when I drive it. Wife likes it too. Don't get me wron...

shadow_dog

it is on the 09 Vibe. I just got one using this program

shadow_dog

Don't know how, but I did. Dealer said they had some leeway on the date since it is so close to the 20th.

shadow_dog

My dealer told me tonight that on the 20th everyone gets the "employee price" plus the $500 rebate stays on. Went ahead and picked up my GT at those terms today. Can't wait to get the windows done. Got a road trip coming up in less than a month, can't wait on that either.

shadow_dog

Don't know about Huskies. However, I just picked up my 09 GT tonight. I transferred the GM hex rubber mats from my 06 base into the GT. All I had to do was rotate the retaining hooks some to grab the holes in the drivers mat.

shadow_dog

Have a decision to make shortly. I have a base model 06, with 30k miles. I really like it. Dailey driver and some trips in it. With the factory warranty almost out, I am either going to buy an extended major guard from GM, or trade it in on an 09 GT. My wife and I like the GT we have been looking at...

I have the same problem. Shot my ac cowl vents with Lysol, lasted about 3 days. I will try the shut off method to see if it works. Only started about 1 year after I bought my 2006.

shadow_dog

My '06 Vibe is 13 mths old. It has 13k on it. I have a problem with the steering wheel. It is starting to get worn on the "T" where it meets the circular part of the wheel. What I mean is that the shiny, slick surface is gone, the porous rubber is showing. Also, the top part of the wheel i...

$1.98 yesterday at Shell here in SW Ohio

shadow_dog

I had a somewhat similar thing happen to me. When I picked up my new Vibe in July I asked about a cargo net. My salesman said hang on a minute. He came back with a full size Vibe net, just gave it to me. He told me when a lease return came back he took the nets and mats out of it before the dealersh...

shadow_dog

Mine has it, just purchased mine new in July 06. I found some packaged rubber plugs in the glove box, rectangular shape. Any idea what these are for?

$2.06 a gallon for 87 octane here in SW Ohio

shadow_dog

I know this should proably go to the interior section, but I'll post it here anyway---. Did Pontiac or Toyota ever offer a locking glove box or console on the Vibe/Matrix? If so, can anyone tell me what to look for or any part numbers. Thanks in advance.

shadow_dog

$240 for all the windows, except the front, same tint as the "factory dark" tint rear window on my 2000 GMC Sierra.

shadow_dog

New Vibe owner here. Brand new 06. Really like it, wish I had discovered the Vibe earlier. Must admit I wish there was one thing Pontiac had put on the Vibe--an emergency brake warning. Yes, let the flaming begin--I drove my new Vibe about 3 miles on the 4th day I owned it with the brake on. Going i...
