Re: Why not the Matrix??? How'd u choose? (Bdaz1)

I had a full size gm truck for a trade in. Vibe I got was optioned out exactly like a matrix xr & was the same price. I had $1500 in GM visa earnings. There was a unit that was actually available on the dealers lot!!!!!!!!!!

Re: GT vs Base models. (Brak)

A base Vibe with a 5 speed manual has lotsa zip after the motor breaks in at about 5,000k. I am actualy surprised on the hi-way when i gear down to 3rd to pass how quick it gets by.
