The Pontiac Vibe is more refined, visually cleaner and appears to have more to offer than its predecessor. Indeed, the Vibe offers sporty styling and performance with capacity loads more impressive. 

Almost all components of the Vibe  have been modified or completely reinvented. The 1.8-liter engine is more powerful and more efficient than the old model, and a 2.4-liter model is available. It is bigger than its predecessor and the interior is well thought out, up to four people, two adults or three children. It ideal for carrying your commissions, your skis or snowboard in the winter.

Vibe requires regular unleaded fuel and rate of fuel consumption is about 32 miles per gallon city. The 2.4-liter GT and consumes 48 kilometers per gallon on the highway, while the 1.8-liter engine, five-speed manual, gives between 42 and 52.4 miles per gallon in the city. We preferred the five-speed manual gearbox with the 1.8 liter, as it offers a smoother drive, but have still not been disappointed by the 2.4-liter with five-speed automatic transmission. The five-speed manual transmission allows the driver to pull the full engine power.

The Pontiac shares many mechanical parts with the Toyota Matrix. With this solid chassis, engineers have managed to do a good job of isolation and ride control. Pontiac said that engineers had intended to build a small car in which people could live there comfortably for several hours. Mission accomplished, because a full day, we were always very comfortable on board the Pontiac Vibe.

The Vibe AWD with automatic transmission is perhaps not as fast as the model front wheel drive with manual transmission, but responded well when we made changes to speed on the highway. As for the GT model, it offers an impressive exhaust sound. However, his suspension is rather firm.


In conclusion, the Pontiac Vibe has an innovative storage system and also offers an exemplary build quality. Moreover, it has a long list of standard equipment in all three models, although power windows and door locks are in options. The standard model seems a smarter choice of purchase. The sporty sedan offers excellent all-wheel drive for all conditions, its price is considerably higher, but four-wheel drive, automatic transmission and a system of anti-lock brakes.
