My Vibe is now 8 years old and I am happy to report I've had ZERO problems with this car. Nothing has failed, all I've done is routine maintenance (battery, brakes, tires). Wish the Vibe was still in production, but glad I own one.
My Vibe: 2004 Base, Fusion Orange, Mono, ABS, Power.16" Alloys, Factory Alarm, Side Air Bags. Cargo Box
Awesome report What's the mileage ? My 09 Vibe GT will easily be around 20+ years as it only sees 5k miles annually. Glad too so far that I bought a "classic" car seeing how they are no longer in production

I have an 05 and I've only had one problem. The ECU failed last year and we needed a new one. Other than routine maintenance, zero work has been needed!
Good to hear! We've had our Vibe 8 years this past August and other than 3 failed heater cores last year it's been trouble-free. Just the routine stuff you mentioned.

Sales are poor in the US and the car is redundant with the Scion Xd now available for sale in Canada as well which is an identical concept with a much nicer interior.
