GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hey guys the new car bug is biting, along with some little things here and there wrong with my vibe.. sooo I am looking into maybe getting a newer car.. I don't want to go down and performance any and would like something as reliable as my vibe has been.. I have had my eye on a WRX but I think it's out of my price range.... so now I am looking at a Dodge Caliber SRT, 4 a Mazdaspeed 3, and maybe even a Chevy Cruze. Just looking for your opinion on how they match up with my vibe GT.

Says it is going to get more expensive than the current $26,565.
But as you mentioned the Caliber you must be thinking "preowned" - "new to you"..

That is sweet!... but unfortunately out of my price range... yes I am looking for new to me, pre owned.. so any input on any of the three cars I picked? Or any others I should consider... daily driver and kid taxi lol... the only reason I put the Cruz in is because it's newer...the caliber is an 08, the speed 3 somewhere around that year, there are a few... the Cruz would be an LT turbo six speed.. any input would be great.. thanks

Inexpensive, dependable, and quick? Find another (low mileage) Vibe/Matrix GT. I don't think anything else matches your criteria.

What the two prior posters said.

Get a Focus ST... I wanted a mazdaspeed3 till I found out the ST was just an all around better drive. Virtually no turbo lag. Plus if you want to drift a front wheel drive car then there aren't many others that can. Pretty awesome little hatch.
