Hello Allmy name is jimi, i bought my first new car today.after alot of research and test drives it came down to...Toyota Matrix vs Pontiac Vibe.i went with.... Pontiac Vibe! why?i got the bigger engine, 2.4 rather then the matrix 1.8 w/o having to upgrade the trim.better warranty, 6 year bumper to bumper.2.9 APROnStarCheaper, and well. The people at Pontiac just wanted my buiesness more.So heres my specs.2.4 engine.5 speed automatic with shift controlStabilitrakbase model.After a lot of looking i couldnt really find any info/mods/performance options for the 09's. it looks like a lot of people have the older ones.Il have some pics up soon.Do all matrix engine mods such as intakes and headers fit and work properly on the vibe?
