How many miles on your Vibes?

Post by 03Vibe5speed »

I've had my Vibe for almost a month now and have nearly 3500 miles on it. I guess driving 35 miles to school and then back again mon. thru fri. and working a part time job delivering pizza tends to rack up the miles.

Yeah. It's not like i don't take care of it though. if it has any potential to make a mess it goes on the floor with a bag under it.

18,000 km = 11,250 miles in 4.33 months Key West Fl trip was 10,000 km = 6,250 miles.Nothing wrong to report. It is shaping up to be more reliable than the Honda's and Acura's!

A better question, at least from my point of view, would be "How many Smiles has your Vibe given you?" I smile the minute I open the garage door and catch the first glimps of it.As for miles, only 900 or so. Got it late november. Less than 5 miles to and from work, and only 3 days a week. And as a college prof, school was closed Dec. 15th through Jan 15th. Yep, it's a tough life.KSNeptune

I am almost ashamed to say--I just broke 20,000 miles today. My father has been ill and I have had a 300 mile round trip twice a week plus my 80 mile round trip work commute 5 times a week.....Poor wittle Vibe.... But since my dad is doing much better now, I won't have that long trip twice a week....and since we just bought my hubby a new truck, he won't be "stealing" my Vibe every chance he gets.....I bought mine in October with 7,500 or so miles already on it.....Poor wittle Vibe needs a vacation.....I think I'll "steal" my husband's truck for a while to give Da Vibe a break.....

A little over 2 months and 4,010 miles. It seems like too much. At this rate I'll surpass my warranty in a year and a half.

When I filled up today, the odometer read 51309 km = 31882 miIf this is an endurance race, I think I'm winning. I put on 130 miles per day, 5 days a week, just to get to work & back home.I've owned it for 10 months and 2 days.

I drove my Vibe off the lot yesterday with a total of 7 miles on it. The seats were still wrapped in plastic. I drove it home and now have 30 miles on it.

Before I drove it off they did that. I test drove it with plastic. I also have a coupon for my first oil change free and a detail and wash and gas up when I do that. I'm fairly pleased with the dealership, they bent over backwards for me and my husband. A two car deal is difficult to get financed, even with spectacular credit.

I have around 16,000 after the first year. I don't like putting so much mileage on the car but I love driving it. Now with the CAI installed I'll use any excuse to go for a drive.

Who has problems? I have heard of one person but they don't know if it's the CAI even causing the problems. I know of a lot of people here and at matrixvibe.net that have had them on for months with no problems.
