The Pontiac Vibe gets back into the trend of popular hatchbacks with its complete makeover for the 2009 model year. More stylish and a better overall compact sport wagon, the Vibe is available in either front- or all-wheel-drive for both trim levels.The two different trim levels for the Pontiac Vibe are base and GT. The base sport wagon includes 16-inch wheels, a tilt/telescoping steering column and a four-speaker audio system. The 1SB package adds a better engine, cargo organizer and fold-flat front seat. The GT upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather/cloth sport seats and an upgraded 320-watt audio system with MP3 playback.

The interior of the Vibe can seat up to five people with a 60/40-split backseat. Fabric is incorporated in the seats of the Vibe, but for GT models there are leather accents. The trunk has 20.1 cubic feet of cargo room which increases to 49.4 cubic feet when the seats are folded.

Six airbags are on all Vibes, as well as antilock brakes and an electronic stability system. Side-impact airbags for the front seats, active head restraints for the front seats and side curtain airbags also come standard.
