GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I went to the dealer last friday to get my tires balanced on my 06 Vibe. I had been considering an 09 for the last couple weeks and decided to take one for a test drive while I was there. I ended up buying one. I picked it up Monday. I bought an 09, Ultra White, 2.4L w/ 5 speed auto trans, preferred package, AC, fog lights, 17" aluminum wheels and a roof rack. When I considered all the safety features built in (ABS, Stabiltrak, Onstar) and the 100,000mile warranty, I had to do it. I lowered my car payment by $16.00/month too! They gave me a lot more than I expected for my 06. The ride is smoother, acceleration is better, the tap shifter is cool. The interior is comfortable and quiet. The stock stereo is actually impressive to a point, at high volumes it washes out, but overall pretty good. The only thing I gave up was the sunroof, but I never really used it in the 06. Anyway, here's some pics:

Sweet. Looks great.I've had mine for two weeks and I love it.

Congrats...she's a beauty! I just realized something today...this coming Sat. (Aug. 9) makes 2 years and I've never had a problem with it. Wishing you many years and many miles of trouble-free happy Vibin'

Congrats!This Vibe is really beautiful in white!

I bought my Vibe from Wedekind also.

Looks awesome!Tint the windows asap... you'll be glad you did.

Nice Upgrade!

oh thats awesome!!! cant see pics but I love that 09 look

You can't see the pics? Firewall at work? anyway, here's the link to my photobucket page where the pics are hosted: http://s178.photobucket.com/al...tzz1/

Not bad, except for those headrests. What, they wouldn't take the other car unless you took them with you????

I think I'm going to send you some Steelers headrest covers for x-mas! Will that stop the Giants hating???

Only if the Steelers beat the Giants in regular season.

Congrats on the new ride!

Cool! Congrats on the new car, it looks great!

awesome! now, let the modding begin! you enjoying that new car smell??? mmmmmm!!!

nice pickup --- enjoy the new seats and ^^ smell

My wife and kids are loving the new car smell, I can't smell it or anything else. I was in a car accident in 1985 and fractured my skull. I haven't smelled anything since then. If I had to lose any of my senses, I'm glad it was smell.

See how it looks like with tinted windows:

Looks good! Congrats on the new ride.

It looks great tinted. I need to get mine done.

She's a beauty. sniff... I miss my frost 06.

I'm starting to get '09 envy.

Must...resist...temptation

Jim, does the roof rack cost extra. Is it part of some appearance package. I noticed that not all cars have them.

I almost missed this.Nice new ride,2.4 FTW.White and black are my favorite colors with the 09's.I'm digging the headrest covers.If the s/c and lowering springs come available,I may just get one.

Quote, originally posted by K-NINE »Must not...resist...temptationthere, fixed it for you...and one more thing... Hmm... nice fit

The roof rack cost an extra $345, the only way to get it standard is to buy the AWD. Did you see Kelly's photoshop in this post? Awesome!

V, I love how you put K9's dogs in the 09!![QUOTE=nygiantzz1] When I considered all the safety features built in (ABS, Stabiltrak, Onstar) and the 100,000mile warranty, I had to do it.

It sounds like you got a great deal on the 09 and lowered your car payment by $16 too. A win-win situation.

Hey, NY, does your roof rack match your paint?Forgot to mention, Nice Vibe!

Sweet and Frosty to boot... If you don't mind, what did it come to out the door with trade? I'm trying to get my mom in one, her forester is failing quick on her... (YES, i'm talking about moving AWAY from a Subaru... lol... hard to believe isn't it....)

I paid 17,520 plus tax. Sticker was 20,370, I owed 10,500 on the 06 and they gave me 13,350 trade in. I thought of your Vibe(Stormtrooper) when I picked it up.

The roof rack does not match, it's silver. Great photoshop w/ K-nine's dogs
