Re: (HawaiiPontiacLover)

Personally, I'd keep the Vibe over the Beetle. But I have a not-so-pleasant history with Beetles (though of the air-cooled variety). Seriously, though, I would think the Vibe would be easier to deal with, having the little one around. more room, easier to deal with the back seat, etc. Ultimately, I ...

Don't worry so much...there are lots of options out there (I promise - I financed $22k when I bought my Vibe thanks to the inequity in my Stratus).My first suggestion is to, if you can afford it, toss a little extra cash at your payment every month. For example, my payment was $461, so I just rouded...

Beyond your basic CAI/exhaust/unichip combo, there's really no way to tweak the vibe for cheap (or easy).So far as I can tell, the 2ZZ is pretty well tuned out of the factory, so your next step for more go-juice would involve pricey parts and lots of tear-down work - cams, forced induction, etc, etc...
