GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Owners of 2009 Vibes or those that have driven/sat in them for more then 5 minutes, how's the 2009's seats? I'm mostly wondering about up front.So what do you think about the comfort of the 2009 Vibe's seats?

i find them to be more comfortable then the current-earlier versions..driven the base awd and GT and they're all great

i've test drove a base model with the 2.4L engine and the seats were comfortable...i test drove the GT today and the seats were very comfortable.

I voted for them feeling great, cause they are a whole lot better than previous models. But, I think with them upgrading the seats to be more plush, that they have reduced the space around you. The dash and center console just feel a whole lot closer.

Definitely feels great And I can directly compare it to the old model as I used to drive a 2005 and my mother drives a 2007. The '09 has the same seating position, but does feel more comfortable yet supportive. They did a great job!

I took an '09 GT out for about 45 minutes a while back. The seats are ok, I don't think they are nearly as comfortable as the previous models.

i LOL'ed at the "nothing to add" link

I've driven my 2009 for more than a month now and I think the seats are very comfortable. My wife, who has some back problems, also said that they were excellent.Guillaume

I love voting... too bad I haven't sat in a 09 to really be able to "vote"

Had the car for 6 months, no problem with the front seats. I also took the car for a 1000km trip last month and I had no problem on a 5 hour drive.

I have nothing to add, but I really wanted to post.

IMO, the new seats are more comfortable than the old. I like the adjustible lumbar support.

New seats are definitely more comfy. Rear seats are very much more comfy!

Just drove my Vibe today for over 1000kms and it feels very good.Seats are very comfortable and the head and leg room is great.Richard

i am very happy with the seats in the 2009 vibe.

The bolsters aren't really that strong even for an economy car (hell a prius has better ones in my opinion) and the upholstery seems to be stretching out and wrinkling a lot faster than other leather equipped cars that I have had. Other than QA concerns I do like the amount of articulation in the seats and headroom, although I do wish they offered and extendable center console for those of us that drive manual. (luckily toyota ripped off a lot of good ideas from mazda 3 and VW in regards of function)

I apologize. When I test drove mine, I reached down to release the button that allows the seat to decline. Instead I got a hold of the lever that tilts the seat forward. I gave it a couple of hits and felt the seat press against my back more, I figured it was lumbar support the way it felt on my back. Anyway, I just went and looked and tried the same lever again--I was wrong the lever I used that I thought was lumbar only lifts/tilts the back and bottom of the seat forward. Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't used to this additonal lever because my 06 base only had the seat decline adjust lever.
