I bought mine Aug 1st and I have 6600 miles on my Vibe. In fact just got my second oil change yesterday There was a noticable difference from the old oil to the new stuff. It feels like its faster now than when I bought it.

I bought mine December 14th and have 1030 miles on it as of today. I don't put too many miles on my car, but this is the most enjoyable car to drive of the ones that I have owned.

What's a Vibe?

Post by Houston »

I have this great bright red Vibe and also a great bright red Grand Prix GTP. The Grand Prix wins the races, but I must say that this Vibe is more fun to drive.

I bought my Vibe GT on May 8th. I have about 8800 miles on it now. Longest trip I've driven was 875 miles (in one day) each way, so about 1800 miles for that one vacation. I love this car and plan to put many miles on it throughout its life.Later,

Got mine in early Dec., put on 2,500 km in 2 weeks without going anywhere! (I suspect some miscreant has gotten hold of a duplicate key and is running the wheels off it while I sleep. Either that or it's my tendency to drive 50 km. for a bag of milk, just because I like driving it so much...) Tapered off a bit now, at 5,800 km in 7 weeks, including a go-nowhere week at Christmas and and back-to-back 425 km. runs yesterday in under 3-1/2hr. each. Running at ~130 KPH (81 MPH) at -20 C. (-4F.), still managed 7.6 L./100km (37 MPIG, 31 MPUSG)

I won't have the highest mileage, but I'm pretty sure I average the most per day.We got our Vibe on August 24, 2002 and are now approaching 19,000 miles!! I'm averaging about 1,000 miles a week. Ugh! My resale value is gonna be non existant by the time I'm ready for a new vibe

Poor Turkster--that is a ton of miles!!!! I used to be a travling sales rep for a Cabinet Company. I racked up 70,000 miles in one year!!! My poor little happy meal (cavalier) has so many miles because of that...and I just got her paid for not too long ago....I hope your company reimburses you well for the miles...I have put 10,000 miles on my vibe in 3 months...I am so ashamed because I don't have a good excuse...but I think the new is about to wear off, so the late night "we don't have anything better to do--let's go for a drive" days have slacked off ....the miles aren't racking up as quickly now

A couple hundred away from 12 thousand. Had my vibe since May. Not too shabby for 8 months. Can't wait for summer. Last summer before I travel to Pharmacy school. Yay! Definately going to drive for hours upon hours, most relaxing thing to do that I can think of. Especially in Y-Town where there is absolutely nothing to do.

I've been the proud owner of a Vibe since January 3. By the time I get home from work tomorrow, it will have around 1600 miles on it. I just can't leave the car sitting still for long!

I think you should re-issue this Poll but set it to average Miles Per Day or something like that... Especially since some people have had theirs over a year and others just got it. I have had my VibeGT 167 days @ 15,468 miles = 92.6 Average Miles Per Day. 2 trips to South Carolina this Summer/Fall sure helped. No major trips planned this Winter unless I make it out to Arizona in March. That should be a fun drive for sure!Dave

Someone should make a poll on how little they drive their Vibe.I have about 70, 000km on an 03 Vibe GT I picked up on Jan 10, 2003My job provides me with a work vehicle which is why I don't drive my Vibe much.Now while I'm recovering from heart surgery I can't drive either!
