It was tough competition between the 2008 Pontiac Vibe and the 2008 Chevrolet Aveo, but for the second year in the row the Pontiac Vibe heads our Top 10 College Cars list. Several factors gave the Vibe an edge to rise to the top of the list. A low initial purchase price accompanied by a wide range of option packages allows buyers to get features they want without driving up the cost with unwanted optional equipment. The combination of a useful wagon format, good fuel economy, and a low cost-of-ownership round out the package.
The 2008 Pontiac Vibe had its starting MSRP increased $425 over the 2007 model year to $16,855. The standard engine is a fuel-sipping 1.8L inline 4-cylinder producing 126-hp backed by a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. A 4-speed automatic with overdrive available as optional equipment.
