the vibe gt actually isnt a bad performing car...ugly as hell though. i'd much rather have the toyota
which obviously is the same car... I dont care either way, a friend of mine desprately needed a new car, he had a 97 malibu with over 200K miles, everything was broken on it, and I mean everything, suspension, heater/AC, MANUAL WINDOWS, door locks, Brakes made horrible noises, the only thing that worked on it was the engine and trans, amazingly well too. But the starter gave out on it for the 3rd time and I advised him to junk yard it and go with me to find him a new car.
I got extremely lucky, I found an 03' vibe, Cd, A/C, cruse control, AWD with an ATX. with ONLY 60K miles. for $6500. Only drawback was it had been in a front ender, but a very mild one, it was only body pannel damage and had been properly mended, I have to say after driving that car, I seriously considered picking up a Vibe/matrix of my own, provided I could find a GT or an XRS, there is so much useable room in it. we folded down the passenger seats and were able to fit a Kayak in there :shocked:
Plus its increadibly safe/fun in the winter, with a fully active AWD system snow drifting is wicked fun.
Plus... check out the 09 model
