Hi everyone,I just want to introduce myself. An AWD enthusiast from the snowy land of minnesota, a new Vibe owner has emerged. My 10 year old WRX was totaled because a girl decided to run a stop sign. Thus, leaving me in the market for a new car. My WRX has made me became a Subaru enthusiast but I did more research and Subarus has issues with their motors. I was just lucky 10 years of a problem free Subaru. I also did not like the gas mileage of the WRX because of the Turbo. Being a newly family man I had to be more practical now that I don't do anymore racing(street, autocross, ice, etc.). In conculsion non turbo AWD wagon is the ideal vehicle. Leaving me with the choice of the Matrix. Then, had forgotten there was the extra warranty, 2k less Pontiac Vibe. Two ays after purchasing the 2009 AWD Vibe my wife's Protege's transmission went out. We then found a good deal on an 2009 AWD Toyota Matrix. Now we have two of Cloned Cars. Thus Naming the Vibe-Django and the Matrix-Storm Trooper.
Welcome You'll have to post a good shot of theses "twin cousin" cars side by side for all to see You'll have no regrets on purchasing these rides. Again WELCOME
05 Matrix XR 4WD and 03 Vibe GT
