So my grandmother is looking for another car. She doesn't really know what she wants yet, but I found a good deal on a 2009 Pontiac Vibe 2.4L AWD. 122k miles. $6200
I know it's a rebadged Toyota Matrix, which is why I'm looking at this car. Many of them have the 1.8L which we know is rock solid.
How is the 2.4L? I know early ones had head bolt issues but what about the newer 2.4L's?
Also, it's an AWD which is a plus, but not if these are known to be unreliable AWD systems, so are they any reliable?
We're in the very early stages of car shopping, so I was just wanting to double check this one before I recommend we go look at it, since its 30 miles away.
Thanks for the help
