wow...it's been a long time since I've posted. In any case...
I'm going on 3 years with the Vibe GT, and haven't had a single problem with it. A few minor complaints (very loud on the highway - blame the exhaust and gearing; can't tow all that much; paint isn't all that durable), but nothing that would keep me from getting another.
In terms of GT vs. non-GT, I wouldn't choose based on power. The GT hp peaks at a really high RPM, and by that point, your ears are bleeding anyway. Torque is basically the same as the non-GT. 6sp vs. 5sp, but the gear ratios still leave you at 3k+ RPM on the highway. I chose GT because I wanted AC, power windows/locks, side airbags, etc, and the price differential wasn't significant.
07's come in one flavour only - GT and AWD are done.
e-mail if you have any other specific questions, or if you want to trade. I miss my Viggen, wherever it may be. :-(
cheers,
Mark
