The big neon Check Engine light is a nice cherry on top

It's a GM product, it's factory

As an owner of two GM products, yep. Constant pains in my ass. You'd think I'd have learned after the first one.

That said, the Pontiac Vibe was the result of a collaboration with Toyota and, while the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix aren't the exact same car, I believe all models of the Vibe did come with toyota-built engines.

All this to say, the Pontiac Vibe was one of GMs better products, because it was more Toyota than GM.

as someone who knows nothing about cars Pontiac Vibe sounds like a vibrator, wouldn't even be a first time a japanese vehicle company did both
