Hi all, bought my first Vibe 3 days ago - 2009 with 22K miles on it. 2.4 L 2WD in Cathedral City, CA. I'm new to Pontiac Vibes and the forum. My wife and I love this car already. We're up in the redwoods in Santa Cruz county, CA.

Looks good! Really like the color! You plan on hauling that camper with it?

Now that would be nice! Jeep hauls that trailer - might put on a class 1 hitch for a little cargo trailer instead of a roof rack (I'd like a roof rack though!)

Congrats! Nice looking Vibe, and a good deal finding one with so few miles. I see you have the chrome wheels on it. There was a discussion on the alloy wheels and the chrome ones were originally only on awd Vibes, while the fwd cars only had the 5 spoke polished ones. I guess they did sell a few more fwd ones with the chrome wheels after all. FWIW, I just towed a U haul trailer last weekend with mine, and gas mileage stunk! LOL! Find a Matrix roof rack on ebay if you want one. They look pretty good on the Vibes, IMO. Welcome to the site!

Welcome! Nice looking car and what great low mileage! Very unusual to see those chrome wheels on anything other than an AWD, but maybe the original owner had them switched out or something.

Welcome to GenVibe! That is the second best color for the 2009s (after Liquid Platinum Metallic of course
!). My mom's 2009 Vibe GT is Steel Blue Metallic and man oh man is it a beautiful color, especially when it's all clean and shiny
! Great to hear you and your wife already love it as it is definitely a great little vehicle! I hope you guys continue to enjoy it (I'm sure you will!) and feel free to stop in any time with any questions that may arise.
As tpollauf said, props on posting a picture and your location right off the bat
!
