I just took delivery on a used '09 base 2.4, 5 Sp. Auto, Cruise, Sun & Sound and 17 inch machined wheels. All options except security and foglights. (I would've liked them).We took it on an inaugural 100 mile spin, it's like driving a rocket ship (in handling, power, and creature comforts) compared to my trusty and (slightly) rusty 1991 Camry with 135K (that I'm passing on to its next owner for the next 135K).This is only my third "new" car, and may be my last, I tend to keep 'em a long time, and I'm 55. This is a Toyota and I'm driving less miles since I work at home.It's Mystic Blue and looks beautiful. I'm loving it and I think I may have the only '09 or '10 in my neighborhood, there are lots of earlier gen Vibes, but the only '09 and '10's are Matrixes (Matrices?) I'll get some pic's up in the next day or two.

welcome adog......I have essentially the same ride without the auto or the moonroof. Like you I woulda liked to have had the foglamps. And like you I think its a real jet to pilot around -- its like wow. Its our third Vibe but the 2009 is a slightly different cat, and I honestly didn't think I would like it as much as I do.With those factory (?) 17s you may be interested in getting some snow tires on 16" steel wheels, to reduce wear/tear and let you turn out some snow angels in Madison safely. There a lot of details on the wheels forum.Cheers and have fun getting to know your Vibe as well as some of the characters on the board
