What engine is in this Vibe?

Post by LoungeLizard »

There is a Vibe at work that I am really interisted in buying, but I have no idea what engine is in it. Its a Vibe GT with the 6-speed. What engine is this and how much power does it have? Thanks.

The GT has the Toyota 2zz-GE 1.8L 4 cylinder engine. The HP ranges from 180 to 17? (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head. Someone will have it.) Depending on the year. The '04s have a lower HP rating due to emissions modifications.

I'll agree about the fun-ness of it. I love having it floored on a highway, hitting 6000 rpm, and feeling the slight, yet quite apparent increase in speed. Aaah...gotta love that Lift!
