More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

There are few vehicles of a similar size to the 2008 Pontiac Vibe that offer such versatility and usable interior space.

Other than the closely related Toyota Matrix, the Scion xB is another possibility.

Its boxy body affords an impressive amount of space, while offering good fuel efficiency.

Along more conventional lines, the Kia Spectra5 is an economical five-door hatchback model that's definitely more fun to drive than the Vibe, though it might not be as spacious inside.

The Dodge Caliber also competes in this class; it offers impressive features, such as tailgate speakers, but it has a rather loud interior and isn't as comfortable.

And if you're willing to go up a little bit in size, the Subaru Forester might fit your needs.

It's more of a sport-utility vehicle, but it's small with the most carlike driving position, and it's one of the best handling and easiest to park among them.
