Cars are 17-25% more expensive in Canada across the board....Lots of reasons why, BUT it's frustrating.. That's 17-25% more expensive even AFTER the exchange rate is factored!!So there is no direct comparison to any US price from a Canadian price.. We also pay $1000 or so delivery, it's how much in ...

Hey all,I probably will buy aftermarket 17's, but would totally love to have a set of the OEM Vibe optionals..The rims I really like are the OZ Canova, but they aren't inexpensive!! And they are 17x8, so they need wide tires (225/45/17s)Write me at myronx19@hotmail.com or respond here..Thanks!

it's an AC tax, you can't get around it.. any car with air conditioning gets this charge.

Hey all,Just had my Vibe serviced for squeaky clutch pedal and heater blower fan noise (under warranty).The gents at Ab Cox Pontiac in Aurora ON Canada did a fine job, quick service, no questions asked.. (they heard the fan noise and realized it was bad). I've unfortunately had a few things go wrong...

2006Vibe

I haven't tried to plug in my car.. yet, I'm not even sure if I have a block heater.. either way, this morning it did it at -15 in Toronto and it only makes noise for a quick second, not even enough time to let off the clutch to see if it's the bearing.If it was the bearing, it wouldn't make a diffe...

Yep,My '06 Vibe with a mere 20K kms on it makes the same "ice through a mixer/crusher" sound only on startup. Oh well, I wonder if Matrixes do it as well.

2006Vibe

Thanks for the reply BlkVibe.. I haven't really addressed the issue with my dealer yet, but troubles like these are hard to identify. I bought mine at Ab Cox in Aurora, near where I work. They are a good dealer overall, I haven't had any issues with them, and I deal with them a lot for other stuff/v...

2006Vibe

Hey all,I gotta say, the Vibe is an awesome car overall.. I've used the roof racks, put on a hitch, used up every storage space for stuff... and I say this thing is super practical for me.I've had a few annoying issues though (keep in mind, the car is 6 months old with 20K kms now!)- HVAC fan/blower...

2006Vibe

Wow..I drive 50 kms one way to work, mostly highway.. and I get about 550/tank with a 39-41L fill. The best I've ever done was about 620 while not pushing it.Mine is of course a 5spd manual, although, sometimes I wish I had the AWD.. I would have if it came manual.Cheers

2006Vibe

Hey all,I've searched the forums, and am not surprised to find posts about 3rd gear.. I have a base 5spd. It's got 15K kms on the clock now.. The car has always had a definate "notch" when upshifting into 3rd, and basically, I'm figuring that this is the dogs and forks changing over (if th...

I just installed a set of fresh 205/55/16 Pirelli Winter Carvings.. Love 'em..I'll take pics and attach later (the car needs a wash!)

2006Vibe

gmaccessories.net is the one, thanks, i didn't know you had to click on a dealer link to access the available parts..

2006Vibe

Is there any data that backs up that GM buys their parts from Toyota?? I think GM buys their parts from the suppliers, just like Toyota does.. so Yazaki, Denso Michigan, the fascia manufacturers, etc etc... GM doesn't buy the headlamp from Toyota.. it's unique to the Vibe, same with almost every ext...

Viberaider? ... hehehe nice one .. BTW: I have the OE Vibe protector, and well, it's more of a decoration than a real protector.. oh well. I didn't know.

2006Vibe

Thanks for the replies.. however, these don't appear to be the site that I saw. Anyone ever see late model grilles for the Vibe? Not that the OE one looks bad, but I'd love to check out what else is available.

2006Vibe

Hi all,I've SEEN with my very own eyes, a website that had Vibe grille inserts (for the later style) and floor mats, etc. etc.. This was a GM site, but I can't find it again.. am I dreaming? My dealer looked it up (in Canada), and that's where we looked at roof racks (including pics), and saw the gr...

2006Vibe

I think it's great that an OEM sells wheels that are outside of the typical North American conservative styling.. Yeah, they may not be everyone's cup a tea, but hey, at least they aren't spinners!!

2006Vibe

Oh and also.. my dealer said "Those covers come back still in their plastic bags -(off lease vehicles)".. No one ever uses them. Sure enough, THEY KINDA SUCK... so mine, is still sitting in the bag, behind the seats "just in case" I may ever need it... or sell it on ebay.Don't ge...

2006Vibe

Also, in 2005/06 (certainly 06) in Canada, it was near impossible to find a car without painted bumpers/wheel arches. Plus in 2006, all the Canadian cars I came across have the side skirts, so there are a few upgrades.. but yeah, decontenting isn't always a bad thing. I bought my Vibe over a Caliber...

Hey all,I'm gonna fit some Pirelli Winter Carvings on my stock 16" aluminums.. and probably buy some nice wheels for the summer..I've used the Winter Carvings on my Volvo 760, and they were great.Just curious if someone has ever tried them on a Vibe (since my RWD experience will be somewhat dif...

2006Vibe

I'm sure someone answered this for you... but that means the full lighting system is on..This comes on if the automatic sensor thinks it is dark outside, you can't easily defeat that. So basically, the indicator shows that the rest of the system is ON. I think it's great, I don't really need to ever...

2006Vibe

Hi all,I've seen a site that lists all kinds of GM accessories for the Vibe, a site I've never seen before (included grille inserts and all kinds of other cool stuff...)Anyone know the url? It's not the gmaccessorieszone one, ?!?! I'd love to see the grille inserts for the '06 (I saw 'em!), I just g...

2006Vibe

what about sensitivity?I mean, that's a lot of cone/coil to move.. It can't be very high, 75 dB @ 1W/1m maybe most?!?!?Looks neat though.

2006Vibe

Hi all,My co-worker bought a Matrix filter from a Toyota dealer for a MY2003. He has a MY2003 Vibe, so, one would figure that they are the same... parts bin.Apparently, they are not the same size. I haven't checked it out myself yet. The Toyota one was quite cheaper than the Vibe unit (dealer source...

2006Vibe

yep..it's 0% financing for 36 months on most of the GM lineup, and I was able to stack on a few extra GM incentives ...What a deal!!!!!!!!!

2006Vibe

That's not possible (sorry to say)..The wire becomes resistive, and more than likely the amplifer won't be able to dampen the speaker anymore if the wire is too small.With amplifier power, there is NEVER a constant 150W coming out of an amplifier. It's also very low current, and the voltage is quite...

2006Vibe

A deep cycle battery will make no difference on your system... ?!??!A totally dead deep cycle battery will draw 18-25 A inrush current, and taper off to 15 A if there is available current.Effectively, there should be no difference between the two.Where did you obtain your information? You can trickl...

2006Vibe

1 electrical hp = 746 watts.so if you have a 1hp vac, it'll need 746 watts of power, which is 6.21 A @120VAC

2006Vibe

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's no bigger than 18 AWG, and more than likely 20.Believe it or not, it's more than enough for fairly high power, and the short length should not affect the damping factor of an amplifier (even at higher power levels I'd keep the OE harness to make things simple...

2006Vibe

nay...it will not work that easily.You can buy express up/down kits from hot rod shops for power window installations.The express down senses stall current and shuts off power to the window motor.Not all window power control is by relay, some are use power FETs. I don't know what the Vibe uses, but,...

2006Vibe

The 10" sub will generally extend to lower frequencies..You could get yourself a Bazooka 8", they aren't bad... but they aren't perfect either.How large is your power amp? You'll want something that can typically overpower the speaker (if your speaker handles 300W, great.. but your amp sho...

Hey all...I just picked up my 2006 Vibe yesterday... and got to drive it a whopping 2km so far (had to go away for work).I bought it at Ab Cox Pontiac in Aurora from Frank Britt. I can't wait for the weekend so I take it for a real drive!!!!!!!!!!!!Anyhow, thought I'd drop by and say hello..

2006Vibe

ouch... 1st post here.. and already I get my head ripped off?? hehe... I don't like the cargo cover, I like the car... and just cuz I don't like the cargo cover.. why would I change vehicle types?? I'm just asking a question (about the cargo cover).

2006Vibe

Hi all,Well.. gotta say, the only thing I really hate about the Vibetrix is the cargo cover... lame-oThe Caliber has a nice cargo cover (pulls out like roll up blinds).Is there an aftermarket solution?!?!
