2006 Pontiac Vibe Base AWD

The 2006 Pontiac Vibe AWD differs features all-wheel drive power.  This extra weight takes off some of the horsepower of the 1.8-liter I4 engine, hitting only 118-hp.  A 4-speed automatic is the only available transmission with the 2006 Vibe AWD.  Other differences from the front-wheel drive Vibe include a limited slip differential and standard ABS brakes.  Dual front airbags and a tire monitor are also standard.  Side curtain and head airbags are optional.

Rear seats split-fold 60/40 in the 2006 Vibe AWD.  They fold flat, as does the front passenger seat to accommodate oversized cargo.  Other standard equipment includes air conditioning, intermittent front and rear wipers, various storage compartments, a CD player, fog lights, daytime running lights, and a roof rack.  There are a lot of options, including the new options of leather seats and a CD-changer with MP3 playback.  Other extras are OnStar, power features, a sunroof, rear spoiler, cruise control, and satellite radio.  Not surprisingly, one complaint of 2006 Vibe AWD owners is the lack of standard features.  They also want more horsepower.  But they agree it is a comfortable wagon with great hauling versatility and easy handling.
