Almost 70,000 kms with no problems whatso ever!.. Do my own oil changes and brought in the vibe for 1 small warranty issue with the rear hatch not clossing with ease.. Love that Vibe

Welcome to the site.
I've had my vibe for about 10 months and I get about 26-28 mpg with a mixture of City/Hwy driving, but it is about 80% city driving.
The storage room you get when putting the back seat down is great. So it would definitely give you the room you will need for your equipment, but you will get better gas mileage than a small SUV.

There's a guy here who has two Vibes he runs as taxis, had a thread about the odometer kitting 299,999 kms.Around DC, I see white Pontiac vibes with QWest painted ont he side, I think they use them as part of their service fleet. I ran throuh my warranty quickly, now at 118K miles. I had a little tranny trouble in my 5 speed, so the extended warranty would have helped me out, but I didn't have it. Vibe is still a car worth having, and after many miles in the thing, I still enjoy driving it.

Welcome to the board!
I put on most of the 5,000 miles on Mom's Frosty; I think it's been just about 3 months now. No problems. Another Vibe (for me!) on the way 
Pitocin and Epidural were made for wimps.

I plan on having the windows tinted and alram system installed within the next couple of weeks.It was raining here today or I would have taken pics. I know how youse guys hate pics, heh heh heh Maybe tomorrow.

Congratulations on the new Vibe! I hope you like it as much as we do, and that you have many trouble free miles. Did you go for the extended warranty?

Yes, I got the extended warranty. 5yrs., 100,000 miles. It was expensive, but I felt for this purchase it gives me some piece of mind. I hope I never need to use it though.

Welcome to the site! An extended warranty is not bad I recommened a GMPP GM Warranty but regardless of what you do, follow the maintenance schedule in the owners manual...

"you know how good these bad boys are???? I have about 90,700 on my car and its an 03' and i have yet to have a problem with this car its so freakin cool i love it oh yeah and welcome to GenVibe!!" Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! I expect to hit the 100K mark in just over 4 years if I stay in this line of work (I don't expect any changes soon). I already put over 350 miles on it between yesterday & today. I filled up today and averaged 31 MPG - that's with the A/C on the entire time and 35% city driving.....and that's assuming the dealer filled it to the top when I took delivery.
