GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Since we are on the subject of what you would drive if you didn't have the Vibe. I was wondering what all is available that has an AWD 4 Cyl Turbo with A/T. I know there are many with a M/T and non-AWD 4 Cyl turbos. But I am set on AWD and A/T.I know about the Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon. What else is out there?No, I'm not getting rid of the Vibe anytime soon. Just wondering.

the saab 9-2x and audi a3 fit the billhttp://www.audiusa.com/feature...tions

You can get an affordable Subaru Legacy wagon with the 2.5 4 cycle turbo engine and factory awd auto transmission as well. They are roomy. You could also go with the Outback version. Plus as mentioned there is the Forester XT with turbo. Honestly though the only difference between the size of the Vibe and the Subaru Impreza turbo wagon is the headroom. Now it could just be the way its designed but the roof seems lower on the inside then the Vibe does. They are otherwise pretty much the same. I park next to them all the time at my job lol (Subaru service)

What model is the Audi "All-Road"? Those are schweet...Quote »250-horsepower 2.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with five valves per cylinder and twin turbochargers to generate 258 foot-pounds of torque and either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed Tiptronic automatic, which allows the driver either to leave it in automatic mode or change gears manually.

i don't think the a3 is AWD though....

R32...beast....and that exhaust note...come on!

i drove a clients audi A3 S (v6 3.2L) WOW that thing is awesome, yeah its AWD not turbo but it moves hella fast. then you put it in S mode and paddle shift mmmm highway driving and high reving is way fun on the highway.

awd turbo.... i believe the mazdaspeed 6 is, but been told for the price, it's a bit of a disappointment. haven't driven one, so can't really say. just about anything audi, but then you're talking $$$. as for the awd turbo, i will say that i love my LGT's 5 spd AT tranny. I never thought i'd love an AT but this one is fun. granted, it's not perfect, but again, for the price.... i'm very happy with it. and btw, don't buy anything used that has a turbo. god only knows what they've done to that car!

saw the march 2006 issue of road and track at the doctor's office yesterday and thought of this thread...they cover 8 AWD sedans....try and find it...pretty cool!
