A used Pontiac Wave has a gasoline engine that puts out a respectable 94 HP; this highly fuel efficient used vehicle is interesting for those who seek a used car that is very economical to run but still has finishing’s of high quality in relation to its price.

The per-owned Pontiac wave will only be found in Canada as it was produced specifically for the Canadian new and used vehicle market, it is available as either a five door used hatchback model or alternatively as a regular sedan with four doors.

Both models make use of features such as a rear wiper for improved visibility and are available with a base level trim or an improved trim variety. The Pontiac Wave found at any reliable used auto dealer offers enough space for four occupants. It has a trunk of reasonable proportions in relation to its body size.

It is on sale as a used vehicle with two levels of equipment ‘LS’ and ‘LT’. The ‘LS’ has standard power steering, two front airbags, remote control doors, electric windows in the front and a standard AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio with steering wheel mounted controls utility, air conditioning and metallic paint, a very reasonable packed for a small economy used car.

A used Pontiac Wave ‘LT’ version has, in addition to the above, two side airbags, six speakers, radio controls on the steering wheel, air conditioning, fog lights, trip computer and steering wheel with leather lining. You may also find that the used car dealership could have either model fitted with factory alloy wheels.

The Wave also has some useful little features such as anchors for Isofix child seating, there are conveniently placed slots for coins and toll tickets. The 4-speed auto gearbox has a feature that will let you use it like a stick shift and select gears and it will stay in that gear until manually changed, an exiting option for a small economy used car.

The used Pontiac Wave 1.4L has a small but fuel efficient capacity married with a standard four speed manual or stick shift box. The used hatchback and the sedan are also available in 1.6L engine versions that use a four cylinder set up that put out just over 100bhp and are combined with a highly efficient and economical five-speed manual gearbox.

For what would usually be considered, an “entry level” pre-owned vehicle the little Pontiac represents excellent value for money in the competitive used vehicle market. It has several refinements that help it to be a little ahead of similar used vehicles such as rack and pinion steering and ample front leg room for driver and passenger.

If you buy a used car of this size one annoying feature is often the road and engine noise especially at speed, used Pontiac Wave’s do not seem to suffer very much from this usual small car drawback because of the inclusion of a large amount of sound killing materials, so it can offer a generally quiet ride.

The rear seats have a 60/40 split setup that can fold down individually. Instruments include a speedo, tacho, trip computer, two electrical outlets and a well lit glove box, all of which ad’s to the appeal of this little used city car.
