I wonder what made him decide to leave the V-dub camp. (I think I know what makes the Vibe attractive.)

Leaving the VW camp was hard because he liked the car....but easy overall because of the constant expensive repair bills!

I haven't been on this board in a while. I was an owner of both a 2004 and 2007 Vibe both purchased new. The 2007 was passed on to my son but was the victim of an errant driver over a year ago and was replaced with a VW. Anyhow the VW was just traded in last night by my son and another Vibe (2004) i...

Looks great. Should make a terrific first car.

My red standard Pontiac arrows were faded to a pinkish color so I ordered some green replacements from GrafxWerks along with a few other stickers. I wasn't sure how the green would go with the Stealth color but all-in-all I was pretty happy with it. I thought perhaps others might want to see how it ...

That's a really cool look for a black Vibe.

Regardless, all-in-all its probably not a bad deal if you were intending to trade the car in anyhow. Dealers often hose people on the trade in value one way or another. There are so many ways to roll the money around and whereas we buy a new car only once and a while the dealerships are negotiating ...

I started using 15 inch snow tires a few years ago.....liked the improved ride so much that I bought 15 inch Borbet wheels and Pirelli all season touring tires for the rest of the year. I've been very happy with it.

I like the Terrain. My father is considering buying a Terrain or an Equinox. He said that from his research if you are going to buy one loaded the Terrain is the better deal.....but if you were going to buy one without all of the bells and whistles then the Equinox was a better deal. Apart of course...

I have had no problems with my Macs (my iMac and son's Macbook). Easy to use and seamless integration among applications. It makes logical sense that there are less problems when one has hardware, operating system and applications all from the same source and that problems are less likely to occur a...

I use 15 inch rims all year now but started with what at the time was a preferred snow package from Tirerack that used 15 inch wheels.....the key thing in your initial question was "major benefit".....I don't think there's a "major" difference between 15 and 16 inch wheels at all...

Funny topic as I just got an Apple Magic Mouse for my iMac.....its truly the most awesome mouse ever...the touch control works somewhat like an iPhone and its Bluetooth so its wireless with no USB tie up required....its a beautiful and functional piece of technology.

I love XM and gladly pay for it! I hate listening to inane commercials and love the variety. I also have the best of Sirius package and get a hoot out of Howard Stern.

I saw a few of these in person at a Kia dealer and I must say that if I were replacing my Vibe now this is what I'd get. They have all the practicality of the Vibe with sharper styling. I prefer Toyota for durabilty and reliabilty but Kia and Hyundai have come so far that may be an outdated preferen...

Putting dark tint on your windows will always give the police justifiable cause to pull you over....even if they don't do so all the time.....they'll probably wait until some evening when its 2AM and you've had a beer ot two....or when you're on your way to someplace important like a job interview.....

Tirerack's recommended winter wheel/tire set for 2004 was 15 inches and they had a slew of acceptable 15 inch alloy wheels that fit the Vibe. I think 15 inch wheels look fine and there's no doubt that on average your're going to get a better ride. I bet your dad knows too the advantages of regular t...

I thought the movie was wonderful. Its the best thing to happen to Star Trek in ages. JJ Abrams is a genius.

I've had noises from the door that I determined were squeaking from the rubber molding that seals the door. I wipe it down with silicon lube or Armour All stuff and it goes away for a while. I posted about this once before and someone said the silcon wasnt good for the rubber molding. I've seen no h...

I believe that Buick is the leading GM brand in China...which is a potentially huge market. GM will probably save the Buick nameplate for the sake of its worldwide recognition and sales. I would imagine also that the Buick brand demographics in the USA (i.e. older people) may be looked at as a more ...

I'm normally not a big fan of white cars but I actually think the vibe looks pretty sharp in white.

A good set of dedicated snow tires such as Bridgestone Blizzaks can make AWD unnecessary for most of us. Personally I'd avoid AWD in a used vehicle. It adds complexity and potential expense - but that's just my feeling. I can see how others may differ. Good luck.

Go ahead and get the new one. Enjoy the sunroof! You only live once and you can't take the money with you!

My second. I had a 2004 which I loved and I traded for a 2007, If they're still making them I may be interested in a 2010 or 2011!My wife is on her 2nd RAV4. When you pick solid decent vehicles its no hardship to stick with it.

18stars

That's a shame....I wouldn't bother discussing presents with her mother again! But next year I suggest you go with presents of jewelry and lingerie .....leave the hair care products for her mom. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

My wife had a 2005 RAV4 which was replaced with a 2007 RAV4. Its a no drama solid vehicle. I would not hesitate to recommend it at all. I have no issues with the rear door swinging side to side - less risk of anyone being doinked on the head. I would certainly check it out. PS We have the 4Cylinder ...

The addition of the Grateful Dead Channel to my XM was very much welcomed. All in all it looks like they did a nice job mixing the line ups. The number of rock options is better than it was just for XM.

You shouldn't believe everything they teach you in school. Quite a bit of it is actually false. (I remember being told the same thing.....)

18stars

I don't know how they work with the Vibes but my wife's 2006 RAV4 tire pressure light came on and it took me a while to figure out that it also monitored the spare tire....and with the fall in temperatures that was the tire that was slightly low.

Wow...I guess you feel silly about buying the Vette if you'd just as soon drive the Mazda!

18stars

Very soft core....besides normal maintenance the only thing I do is occasionally drive it through the car wash....

There's no better endorsement of a vehicle than repeat buyers.

1971 Toyota Corona. It was originally sky blue. Later I had it painted silver and black, and then finally painted red. I put lots of wear and tear on that car!

Regardless of all the options available, I would definitely wait a year. You'll be so much better able to assess the situation. Also, since the house will be new to you you may find over the course of a year other items that may arise. Take your time. By the way, its a beautiful house.

I have a Garmin 330 ....its very basic but does absolutely everything it needs to do...plus I got it at Christmas for $129.00 (I've seen them cheaper now) so I don't fret about it being stolen, lost, or breaking....I also don't mind loaning it out to friends etc because it was not too expensive....I...

That shift knob is awesome! Great looking car. Good luck with it.

18stars

That's a nice looking vehicle..good luck!

Tending bar is a hard job. We all make mistakes but its even worse to be entrapped like that.

I had a set of Fuzion ZRis on my last Vibe and I was very pleased with them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set. Good luck.

18stars

I had the same problem with my 2004....I had the dealer replace the bulb...I think it cost me 70 or 80 dollars....

18stars

That was a great game and given the conditions both teams played well.....there was certainly no lack of effort and heart on both sides....as an Eagles fan I have to say I was impressed by the Giants this season and will be backing our NFC East champs all the way. Go get'em Giants!

Looks nice.....very pretty photo with the spanish moss.....I've always found that stuff intriguing. Hope you guys love the Vibe.

18stars

I had a strange sound under my 2004 once....took it to the dealer only to find that there was a small branch stuck under the car right in the center that was making noise when moving .....I had looked under the car but didn't see anything...I guess I should have looked better....there was no charge ...

18stars

I've owned several sets of snow tires of the years.....currently I have Blizzaks REVOs...but the best I ever were Blizzak WS-50s. I would recommend them for anyone for winter use.

18stars

I actually think both look better afterwards....good swap!

18stars

It looks great......I really love the Salsa Vibes but my wife's car was already red so I went with Stealth.....Congrats!....

I liked it so much that I replaced my 2004 Vibe with a 2007 Vibe.

18stars

It's all about traction and grip. I'd take snows over technology any day.

18stars

Same thing happened to me last summer with my 2004....I had a stereo shop replace the speakers....

18stars

I'd get it fixed and then drive it gently ...or trade it in on a new base automatic Corolla and drive that gently for a while....good luck

18stars

I checked out some pictures of the Rogue interior...the black and red is very sharp....looks like a sweet car.....good luck with her.

Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your new car. What was it about the Nissan that caused you to choose that instead of another Vibe or to hold out for a 2009 Vibe? Just curious as they are simiiar type cars.
