Happy belated New Year Mark and the rest of GenVibe!

I got two sets of used 2012-2014 Toyota Yaris knobs on eBay for ~$60.00 shipped each (for the three knobs and the Yaris HVAC bezel). Ours weren't broken or anything, I just wanted them for their chrome trim after seeing gtv's post (linked in zbeyers' comment above) about them. They're not too diffic...

My 09 GT's MPGTune page. I have achieved an all-time high of 40.311 MPG with 100% highway driving, cruise set at 60 MPH and no AC use. My all-time average is 28.121 MPG. EPA ratings are 21 MPG - City | 29 MPG - Highway | 24 MPG - Combined.

I'm so happy to see an update from you Geoff! I was afraid you'd say you had gotten rid of the Vibe. Also, glad to see all your pictures are back!

vibenvy

Both our Vibes recently turned over 84,000 miles!

vibenvy

Great to hear! Lookin' pretty good too!

vibenvy

Welcome to GenVibe! Definitely post some pictures of your "new" Vibe when you get a chance

Welcome to GenVibe! I guarantee the red Vibe has the 1.8L engine.

vibenvy

Welcome to GenVibe! Nice looking Abyss you've got there

Better late then never

! Nice looking Salsa!

Could you be more specific? Maybe post a picture of what you're referring to...

vibenvy

Personally, I would just order the Toyota one on eBay.

Glad to hear it helped you

FWIW, I know of a couple people who have had aftermarket headers on their 2.4L Vibes/Matrices and they did not re-install the exhaust manifold heat shield and seemingly had no issues. I personally wouldn't risk it, but it's your Vibe not mine. You could always try finding a used one and painting it ...

vibenvy

Welcome to GenVibe! Does your Vibe have the 1.8L or the 2.4L?

Here's a great how-to for posting pictures.

vibenvy

FWIW, traction control and side air bags are standard on ALL 09-10 Vibes.

I will be getting Blizzak WS80s for both our Vibes before this winter hits. We've been fine the past 9 winters with all season tires, but we're due for new tires so I figured I'd give the Blizzaks a go this time around.

vibenvy

Best of luck with the new Honda!

vibenvy

Ouch

! Sorry to hear about the Vibe, but glad there were no serious injuries. Definitely keep us posted on your search for a replacement.

vibenvy

Props on posting a picture right away! It looks great with the OEM 17s! Fog lights actually aren't that bad to install. Disabling the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is also super easy . You should consider starting a thread in the Garage Forum to document any future modifications, etc ;).

Welcome back!

Welcome to GenVibe! You definitely have a rare and very gorgeous Vibe there!

Yesterday my Vibe turned over 83,000 miles!

Today I received and installed a Diode Dynamics SmartTap CF18 LED flasher module. It's a really neat little toy!

Gee, Tim, did you have the only '09 red GT? I remember the time there were three of us, plus Michelle's '09 red base. Thanks for the pics ... looks like it was definitely better than last year. Sorry to miss you all, I have no vacation time this summer, but hope to make next year. Geoff Tim actuall...

As others have already said, the oil consumption issue is not that big of a deal. FWIW, it seems to affect mainly early 2008 built 2009s. My mom and I both have 2009 GTs, neither of which use any oil whatsoever. Their build dates are October 29, 2008 and November 17, 2008.

I agree with the previous two posters. Get the GM all weather front mats. Unfortunately, the matching GM rear mats are pretty much impossible to get a hold of, so I would just grab some universal rear mats.

Awesome! It's a true testament to just how great Vibes really are that we have so many members that have 2 or more Vibes in their family! Definitely post some pictures of the newest family member when you get a chance

Yep. Couldn't resist the offer and the timing was perfect. Orange 2004 Vibe GT, only 125k miles. Florida car ZERO rust! Had union conferences in Orlando during February so flew down one way and drove the Vibe back. You can see it in person at our GV meet June 30th! Awesome! I had no idea! I'm still...

Replaced the hatch struts on both Vibes today for the first time in the just over 9 years we've had them.

I ordered them from GMPartsCenter.net for $18.42 a piece. In case anyone needs or wants the part numbers...

Welcome to GenVibe! We (my mom and I) have 2 09 GTs and absolutely love them! As stated, you should start a thread in the GenVibe Garage forum to document the "restoration" of the Vibe.

vibenvy

Just disable it. I did both our 09 GTs quite a few years ago. It's super easy and is 100% reversible. We got new tires in 2015 and I just had plain old rubber valve stems installed. It's been great, one less thing to have to deal with.

vibenvy

2009-10 here. Not impressed with this set at all. Lots of errors. Apparently they forgot to replace some of the first gen information and it gets confusing when you go to a particular topic only to find out "it doesn't look like that" or "I don't have a thingamagig like that". h...

Drove my 09 GT to Nashville and back for the 2016 GenVibe meet. It was approximately 1100 miles round trip. No issues. I had a drain and fill of the coolant and transmission fluid done beforehand because it had never been done and I figured it was as good a time as any. Other than that, I just check...
