I was browsing at Matrix spec and I notice they have the "Active restraint headrest" safety feature... Dont see that in Vibe's spec....So do we have it?

Yes, it's at the top of your seat, they just use a fancy term for a 'safety feature' that has been mandatory for quite some time.

The active head restraint is actually a headrest that moves when you get rear ended. The motion of the body presses against the rear of the seat causing a lever system to move the head rest forward to prevent whiplash. I know the technology was first available on SAAB cars. Subaru also used the same system. To answer your question, I thought I read somewhere that the Vibes do in fact have the active headrest. I'll find out the exact answer and get back to you.
