I haven't used them on my Vibe yet but my experience with Cooper Cobras over the past 10 years, or so, has been excellent. I live in the mountains of North Carolina where we get a fair amount of snow in winter and the Cobras have proven to be an excellent all-season choice for me. I put my first set...

OK...my mechanic got the cruise control stalk all hooked up and wired in this afternoon. "Cruise" lights up on the dashboard, even, just as it is supposed to do. BUT...the CC doesn't work!! I have a 2007 5-speed base Vibe. It was made in California. Should have the DBW already in place. Al...

Here in the mountains of western North Carolina, 'way out in the boondocks where civilization is still a long way off, I paid $3.99 per gallon of regular about two hours ago. Thank goodness, we had the good sense to get a base 5-speed! Oh yes...the MPG figure calculated out to 36.9 mpg. Not too shab...

Well, you're absolutely right about its being standard...I just assumed it was and failed to ask enough questions! Loving the car even if after only a week's driving. Looks as if I'm getting very good mileage, too, but won't check it 'til nearer the weekend. Gasoline just hit $3.89 here today so we ...

I've found almost all I think I need to know to guide my mechanic through the installation of the GM/Delco cruise control switch on my 2007 base 5-speed. I did notice on the Matrix owners forum, though, the mention of a clutch switch. The posts were not totally clear but I gathered the clutch switch...

I live way out in the boondocks of the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina. Nearest dealer's 50 miles from me. But just over the ridge is the independent ASE-certified mechanic who's kept every car we've had perking away for the last 15 years. I'm positive he can do it (if he will). All I...

Many thanks to you guys! I discovered the super search feature and am now loaded down with tips on cruise controls ! I'm not the greatest with working in tight spaces any longer (eyes begin to get squirrely at my age!) so I think I'll call my dealer Monday and see if I can convince them they should ...

I appreciate your comment, Bill, but being a newbie about Vibes, I'm not sure what DBW means...please fill me in, if you will. One reason I bought the Vibe was for fuel economy and cruise control would surely help in that regard. Please...anyone...illuminate me on DBW!!dc3

This afternoon we picked up an almost-new 2007 base Vibe. I've been driving cars for 60 years and buying them for 40 but somehow I let one slip by me this time. I did not realize 'til I was driving away from the dealer's that my car has no cruise control! I just assumed it did. How much difficulty i...
