If your ok with wagon/hatch backs this is a good deal. If you can drive stick.
2004 Pontiac Vibe GT 4dr Wagon
Its a Pontiac vibe.... Or is it... It is a toyota matrix built on the toyota corolla chassis. This one is a GT with a 6spd manual and the zz2-ge from the Lotus elise 1.8l 8300 rpm redline with two stage cams. The lower cam is really good for economy. My mom had this car for about 5 years and would get high 30s in it.
It also shares the transmission with a mr-2. Nobody knows what is under that Pontiac shell.
