2009 Pontiac Vibe

Base MSRP $20,875

The economical and sporty 2009 Pontiac Vibe is a tall hatchback model--based on the Toyota Corolla and closely related to the Toyota Matrix--that handles just like a car and is a great alternative to some of the larger, heavier crossover SUVs. With its improved safety equipment, good fuel economy, available all-wheel drive, and a torquier, more responsive engine available for those who plan to carry heavy loads, the Vibe is now a much-improved value.
