Is it a hatchback so you can go camping and stuff - how is the insight in snow without 4 wd? Not sure. Never used the AWD on the Vibe; the two winters I had her weren't bad ones at all. Nice car! What's the cargo space like in that thing compared to the Vibe? From KBB: Vibe - 54.1 cu ft Insight - 1...

As promised.

My driving is about 80% highway so that explains the 27-29.

AdmRose

Got it for $16,900 total when all was said and done. I'll post a pic when I get home.

AdmRose

After two years, four months, 15 days and 42,000 miles I finally sold my 2004 AWD. Nothing wrong with her just that at 105,000 miles it was probably the last time I'd get a decent trade in value for her (I got $5400). Plus I wanted better MPG, not that the 27-29 I was getting was horrible. So since ...

AdmRose

You can take it off but AFAIK it won't look "neat." There will be mounting holes on the roof you'll have to cover up.

AdmRose

Here's an update. After two weeks with the Snapshot device off I had my Vibe reinspected and this time it passed with no problems. Though its only circumstantial, I believe that the Snapshot device will cause issues in the '04 Vibe when it comes to emissions testing.

AdmRose

Ok. Pulled the Snapshot unit out. I'll update after I get re-tested if it worked or not.

AdmRose

I drive 300 miles a week easily, in all types of driving conditions. I also haven't had a check engine or any warning light. The only reason I can think of it being the Snapshot device is because that is literally the only thing that has changed since my last emissions inspection.

AdmRose

I went to get my PA Emissions Testing today and my '04 Vibe failed emissions testing. The reason they gave was the OBD said "Not Ready for Testing." The usual reason is because of a dead battery recently but I've had no such problems. I haven't had any power issues with my Vibe recently or...

AdmRose

I've never been able to find a how to on this specifically and since I had to do it anyway today I thought I'd be helpful and take some pics/give a step by step.1) Ensure you have the proper bulbs:2) Remove the radio trim. Do so by prying up the bottom and slowly and carefully pulling it out from th...

So I was getting out of my Vibe tonight and I got shocked when I took the key out of the ignition then again when exitting the vehicle. Unfortunately I was holding my keyless entry remote in the hand that got shocked when I was exited. Now my lock button on the keyless entry fob won't work and my do...

I bought my '04 AWD w/M&T in Feb. 2010 for $9,500 when all was said and done. It had 62,000 miles on it. Still it beat the KBB price for it so I was happy.

Quote, originally posted by mkowdley Â»AdmRose - is this still an issue?No all I had to do is upload a picture and the update work, but if I had chosen not to do so then it still would have been an issue. Basically it won't let you update without a picture URL.

AdmRose

Quote, originally posted by mkowdley Â»Do you have more than one vehicle in your Registry?Nope. Just one.

AdmRose

Are those rims Focal F01's?

AdmRose

Which is better, wiring the ground for the amp to the chassis of the vehicle or wiring it to the negative post on the battery? I've heard both and would be interested to know what everyone else thinks as I've never done it before.

AdmRose

I average 30 MPG in my '04 AWD (doing 90% - 95% highway mind you) so you should have no problems getting more than that in a '03 FWD.

AdmRose

Depending if you have an '03-'08 you can use Toyota parts. They're exactly the same as the GM parts but priced in the neighborhood of 50% - 65% cheaper. That's what I did when I needed a new trim piece for my driver's side door. Cost $23 through Toyota while GM wanted $55 for the same part. You have...

Washed/detailed mine today...found yet ANOTHER bag from the previous owner wedged under the back seat on the driver's side...great cleaning job dealership. Also finally posted a photo of her!

My concern is more with accuracy...for example THD for the Pioneer GM-D9500F is listed at .06% on Sonic and even the Pioneer website, however it's listed at 1% on Crutchfield.

If it were me I would pay the extra an go crutchfield because of the authorized dealer/warranty issues that may come up. you wouldn't want to get a $1200 radio ...

AdmRose

I've dealt with Crutchfield and been very satisfied but someone on another forum told me about Sonic Electronix....they seem legit but something about it just seems a little shady. Has anyone ever dealt with them before?

AdmRose

I'd suggest a site specifically for selling automobiles (autotrader.com or eBaymotors.com). Like northvibe said, we already have our Vibes or Matrices.

As of yesterday the link appears to be dead.

Was thinking of either the Eclipse EA4200 or the Sound Ordnance M4075. Eventual plans include a sub in the back and disconnecting the rear speakers. My front speaker setup is in my sig. line and based on that which one of those two do you think would be my best bet?
