It's basically the same car, so there is not much difference, but I would say the resale value is better on the Matrix, Matrix is more expensive.

IMHO, In addition to a rather significant price savings, I think the 2009 Vibe looks "cooler."

Though the rear visibility is bad on both 2009 model, it's worst on the Matrix since the 3rd row side window is 1.5 inches wide by 6 inches high. The Vibe has a bigger 3rd row side window but sadly, not by much.
