My 2009 AWD Red Vibe!!!

Post by jerry_21 »

Me and my fiance have been waiting over 4 years for a vibe, and it was definitely worth the wait. I added the grocery pic to show how the gallon of milk fits very snug into that rectangular hole, there is enough space for two- (instead I placed a bag of ice). I'll post the mpg as soon as I get a number, I just drove it off the lot today. Let me know if anyone wants any particular picture. P.S. I will also be getting the cargo cover option, they had removed it from the one I purchased, but will be replacing it.

Welcome another Michigander..!! Congratz...!!!!I'm just lovin the 09'. I really like what they did with the body, molding in all the fander flares, rather than them being a "tack on" like oooohhhh so many pontiacs... However I hate the taillights.. i'm really diggin what they did with the roof rack to, no rails..

The new Vibe is awesome, but those gaint wheel wells are BEGGING for some bigger rims and a drop to fill them!

Got to admit the '09 is growing on me more all the time. But potential for door dings is one of my concerns about the '09's as well. They look so clean - and exposed...

Car looks awesome! I love the colour too...any coincidence that it matches the roof of the restaurant you were at? How do you find the AWD? I'm trying to talk my dad into getting an AWD as he hates the winter and is always all over the road in his truck. What sort of accessories can you get for the roof rack?

I'm just the opposite - that's the first thing that jumped out of me that I don't like at all. I don't like the way the roof slopes without them. That's the one thing that I've hated about the Matrix all along.I'm not sure how much I like it yet - I'm sure it will grow on me.

Door dings could eventually be a design element... kind of like on a golf ball. Aeromatics and all. (hope the lawyers at 'Cars' will forgive me for my trespass)
