I missed taking a picture at 47906 (the West Lafayette, IN zipcode, for amusement of my fellow Purdue alums) but I'm really close to 50,000 miles now and might even reach that before the end of the month. Here's to another 50,000! (With my love of distance driving, it won't be another three years until I get there either!)

215,000 on my 2003 GT and running great. I didn't do a good job of waxing and the clear coat broke down after 9 years. Just got a new paint job and the car looks great!

Wow, I can't believe that I've put almost 18,000 miles on my GT in the past year. Bought it with ~36,600 on 12/5/11 and it now has ~ 54,500. I'll probably pass my son's 06 mileage sometime next year. He's pretty close to 60,000 miles right now.

A/C is still dead, died the month after I paid her off! Finally got a clutch that lasts after replacing the stock flywheel, which I honestly think was defective from the factory. Otherwise just needs a good wax and maybe a steamcleaning, and still in good shape!

Just turned 120,000 on my 07 this past weekend 12/16/12.

Runs great and still looks good, I think it will be here for a few more years.

Just passed 92,000 miles. I bought my Vibe with 42,000 (I think) in 2009. Most of those miles were put on in 2012. I was travelling 400 round trip several times to visit family at the beginning of the year due to several family issues. This summer I drove 88 miles round trip to work four days a week. Still running great and I love to drive her!

How have you managed to keep these Vibes synchronized so close to each other? :o I swear you've yet to be more than a few hundred miles difference ever since you've gotten them. That's pretty neat though. My Vibe is stuck around 13K BUT this should change drastically as I'm heading to Orlando Florida Feb 18-20 and will be driving myself (I think the wife is tagging along). Assuming this happens I'll easily return with mileage around16k. Guess I had give my Vibe it's second oil change before making the long trip. I'm soooooo looking forward to this and may even go out of my way to visit some GenVibers who may happen to be in the path of my journey.

We've managed to keep the mileage so close by switching off which Vibe we take when we go somewhere, especially somewhere farther away. It's fun, especially when we get "vibenesia" as we like to call it :P. We forget whose Vibe we're in since they're exactly the same except for the exterior color :lol:!

Have a safe and fun trip to Orlando Tim! I haven't been down that way since 2005. We used to go to Cocoa Beach every few years on vacation. I am itching to take the Vibe on a longer road trip like that. I'm sure you'll get some killer gas mileage numbers with all that interstate driving!

I'm at almost 198,000 miles on my 05. Bought it a little over 3 years ago and it had 70,000 on it. It's been pretty hassle free. Had to replace a windshield before Christmas. A couple other minor repairs like the blend door. Lot's of oil changes and quite a few headlight bulbs. I did do new struts on it in the fall. The old ones were shot but I didn't really notice much of an improved ride. Looking to take it to 300,000. At least that's my plan and it should be around 10 years old with me having it for 5 years and 200,000 miles. I got a great deal on it and I should think I got my money out of it. Looking at new cars now so I can find what I like so when it's time for a replacement I know what to get that will be used.

Just about to rollover to 70,000K for my 09 Vibe. Bought it with a whole 40kms on it. It was the showroom car. Pretty good feeling to get a car with no km's on it.

I have been doing the same thing as well. In 5 years I would have the Vibe for 10 years & have about 250K with the driving I do. I have been looking at the Lancer Sportback Subaru Impreza Wagon & Kia Sportage. The lancer Sportaback looks really good ! I like the Impreza but In Florida theres no need for AWD.

Really!?! We will most definitely have to get a Chicagoland Vibe meet together in the spring so we can meet up with you and Apollo and welcome you to the area :D! This also means you'll be at the meet in Pontiac in June, correct?

Hello everyone,
I am new here to the forum (I will have info and pics up later) but I have a 2004 GT with over 214,000 original miles and still going strong. I am again a student so maintenance has been lacking some but have made headway getting it back to ship-shape. I have a new OEM clutch (this will be the 3rd)to put in but just replaced the clutch for the A.C. unit and starter. I am planning on new struts and tune-up for my summer projects but we will see.
Also the reason I have so many miles is I live outside Atlanta, GA and we have no major transportation system so driving everywhere is mandatory. Well that's all I have for now, I plan on those pics and profile update this weekend.
if a wing makes your car fast then with me having 2 I go twice as fast!! I substitute your reality with my logic.
