My AWD tester, however, wasn’t even close to its 20/26 EPA rating – making it a most inefficient choice.īoth the base and AWD models ride on 16-inch wheels and tires, with the option of 17-inch rims, while the Vibe GT comes with 18-inch alloy wheels. The larger engine also has reasonable numbers with a 21/28 rating.
#2009 pontiac vibe 2.4 manual
The base Vibe with the manual has excellent fuel economy with a 26/32 mpg (city highway) rating. The acceleration was surprisingly peppy but came at the cost of poor fuel economy. The GT and AWD models get a DOHC VVT 2.4L inline-four putting out 158hp and 162 ft-lbs of torque. The base powerplant for the new Vibe is a reworked DOHC 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 132 horsepower and 128 ft-lbs of torque. This issue is known to be caused by infrequent oil changes causing engine sludge, or worn piston rings. Another huge strike against this particular model is that it is only available with a four-speed automatic transmission. The 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe may develop an excessive oil consumption condition between oil changes, even to the extent of the engine oil warning light displayed on the multi-function display. The AWD trim hasn’t been seen on the Vibe since 2006 and considering the price it’s not hard to see why. While access to the Vibe begins at $16, 265, my loaner was the AWD model, which in addition to adding a great deal of traction and stability, also drastically raised the price to $21,110. “With the 2009 Vibe, we knew we wanted to take everything we liked about the original and push it to the next level – more power, more style, more versatility,” said Craig Bierley, Pontiac’s Marketing Director, before adding, “It has the interior room and cargo capability expected of a larger SUV, but with the precise handling characteristics you would expect from any Pontiac.” For 2009 the Vibe is all-new and offers an updated appearance and better performance.

The Vibe is the mechanical sibling of the Toyota Matrix and is based on the Toyota Corolla’s E-platform. Se trata de un motor de 4 cilindros en line, enfriado por agua. Plus, they are better on gas than SUVs, so your neighbors with the dreadlocks who wear Birkenstocks all year round may stop giving you dirty looks every time you drive by. The crossover was designed to be the ultimate automotive non-compromise, allowing for the capability and utility that most people enjoy from a minivan or SUV but also the handling and driving characteristics of a car. So what is a person to do? Enter the crossover. Driving an SUV has become socially akin to smoking in a restaurant, minivans are boring, station wagons are too 1986, and sedans aren’t big enough to carry an entire family and their baggage.
