Welcome!If you are spending a lot of time in traffic, I would recommend an automatic transmission, but that is my preference. Good luck with your search.

Welcome from a fellow Montrealer! You should have plenty of choice. Many Vibes for sale in the Montreal area.Get a manual for the fun to drive factor. If you do, pay special attention to the clutch to make sure it's still good. Many here have reported weak and early replacement on OEM clutches for 1st gen Vibes.
