And with the front passenger seat folded flat, sliding in a 10-foot ladder is no problem. And when I said, sliding I meant it because the seat backs and cargo floor are finished in a tough compos- ite material that can take a lot of abuse. That cargo floor also flips up forward to reveal a stowage compart- ment with reconfigurable dividers and grocery bag hooks. Between the front seats is a multi- use console with cupholder that can be adjusted to cradle different-sized beverage containers. At the front of the console is a standard three- prong, 115-volt AC plug. In addi- tion, the sound system has an auxil- iary jack for MP3 players. The Vibe with AWD has a list price of $22,995 which is pretty good and includes six air bags, air conditioning, cruise control, roof rack and rear washer/wiper. But my tester came with $3,860 worth of options like a $1,100 power sunroof I could live without and the $800 Premium Sound Package that I would have to think about. But the younger demographic the Vibe is aimed at all want something like the 320-watt Monsoon sound system with seven speakers including a big, 10-inch subwoofer in the cargo wall. Another option was $950 for 17-inch chrome clad alloy wheels where the standard 16-inchers would be good enough for me. But what I would want is the $385 security system with content theft protection. Besides the normal horn blasts and flashing lights, there is also a motion sensor and glass break- age sensor that immediately shuts off gasoline flow so the car cant move. With the $1,160 shipping fee, the cost of the Vibe AWD as tested was $28,115. I hope what I am hearing is wrong about predictions of $2/litre gasoline by end of the year. That is bound to change perceptions, but North Americans still will want to travel long distances in comfort with asso- ciated utility. To these factors has been added cheap cost of operation. With all-wheel-drive and a clever- ly thought out interior, the 2009 Pontiac Vibe should prove more popular than ever. PONTIAC VIBE AWD 2009 AT A GLANCE BODY STYLE: Compact five-door hatchback.
