After a very brief stay here, it looks like a goodbye is coming, our Vibe needs a new home. I honestly need a truck, the Wife has her new Kia, we just don't have the space or money to keep three vehicles. Right now it looks like its going to one of my Wife's cousins in Florida, but, not sure yet. It...

In another thread, I made the comment that my Wife's new Soul is like a mini van in size compared to the Vibe. Yet, despite the Soul's sheer girth, the Vibe will haul more. Here's a few pics I took yesterday.......... http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s96/Satilite73/IMG_20141214_153726.jpg http://i...

As of an hour or so ago..........

My Wife has a 2014 Kia Soul. Parked next to our Vibe, it looks like a friggin mini van! It won't haul near the amount of stuff the Vibe will, and its not because of the Soul's stubbiness, its more because the load floor is NOT flat with the back seat folded. Mileage with the Soul has been almost ide...

Never gave the windshield in my Vibe much thought. Still the original glass after 190K miles, has two chips that were fixed, no cracks, most of it feels as smooth as 180 grit sandpaper though..... :shock: :lol: Reason this came up is because of the '14 Kia Soul my Wife bought. Five months and about ...

You have absolutely NO control over the headlights functions.

If you're still considering that Vibe GT from Valley Motors that you linked earlier, I noticed that it does not have the correct "PONTIAC" plastic handle on the rear hatch above the license plate.

For that matter, the emblems are missing too from the tailgate.

Around town, I just scrunch up a bit, and keep my back to the seat. I drive using both feet, so it's not like I have to move my leg(s) a lot. I've wondered to myself if another column would bolt in that has more adjustment. :?: Back to the article, they gave the PT such high praise, yet, back about ...

My Wife just bought a 2014 Soul. It's a different animal from your 2010, so I can't offer much of an opinion on yours. However, I can't get over how physically HUGE the Soul is compared to our Vibe, yet, it doesn't have near the hauling ability of the Vibe. Some of it is due to its stubbiness, a lot...

From the article: "Unfortunately, when moving the driver up a bit from the Corolla position, the designers didn't get the controls in the right places. The pedals are too close and the wheel and shifter too far away" I couldn't agree more with this statement. I'm 5'-10", perhaps a lit...

Earlier tonite. Race Track and Stripes are a little cheaper, but, I prefer to run name brand gas.

As of today......



And thanks to a recent recall performed on the car for the PCM, it runs like it has less than half that mileage.

Driving it today I noticed the shifting was better too, but, in my case, I think it may be because of the improved throttle response. Where I noticed it especially was slaloming thru traffic. Where I needed just a little more oomph, it dropped down one gear and pulled rather than two that would just...

I got an appointment for next Tuesday. The guy I spoke with on the phone sounded more anxious than me about getting the car serviced. :? Had the recall done today. No earth shattering differences, but there IS a difference. Car seems more responsive. Even the slightest touch on the throttle shows a...

Well, that was kinda weird. The PCM is mentioned in this thread, and guess what showed up in our mailbox today......a recall notice for the PCM. Was there more than one recall? We had one done 6 -7 yrs ago (I don't remember when exactly), and have never gotten another notice about it until today. I'...

Yes. After it was done, car started MUCH quicker, BUT, car didn't seem to have the 'snap' it used to. Stealer....er....dealer said that was normal.

Sorry for disappearing after such a warm welcome! :oops: It took much, MUCH longer to get into the Vibe than originally anticipated. My Wife just wouldn't 'let go' of it. :lol: So, as of last week (not Aug 1st as first thought), I'm finally driving the Vibe. It's been an eye opening experience. Whil...

OK, so not the best choice of words on my part. By saying 'sounds like a diesel' I was trying to refer to the distinct sound a valvetrain makes when it has no oil. There has never been a problem with the ignition system. Never had a problem with the idle quality. I had a similar problem with one of ...

The trans fluid has been changed twice. Should I be worried? My Wife religiously had the oil changed every 3000 miles, BUT, somewhere around 110K issues started with the oil changes. First fire of the day, the car would sound like a diesel. :shock: I'm not sure when exactly it started, I first heard...

First post, wanted to say 'hi'. :D Came across this site looking for info about Vibes. Seems to be a lot of knowledgeable folks here, thought I'd give ya'll a try. :lol: I'm going to be 'inheriting' my Wife's '05 Vibe come August. She bought it new, it currently has 185K on it. Because of her curren...
