got my vibe AWD on March 20, 2002. One of the first AWD vibes in my area, had to trade another dealer to get it....

I noticed alot of memebers from youngstown area. It seems like I have been seeing a lot of vibes around this area. Definitely alot more then other areas are reporting. What is everyone's take on this??

neptunevibeawd

I saw on one of the vibe/matrix websites where someone used some of the area where the tire goes to put a subwoofer in. The advantage is they did not lose any space, I don't remember if they were able to keep the spare tire in there though? What I do remember is that it was a custom made fiberglass ...

What I have seen is that the GM extended warranty is not too bad. DO not get an extended warranty that the dealer offers. Verify what they are trying to sell you. Also, check to see if there is a deductable, and what is covered. The GM one is pretty much an extension of their 3 yr 36,000 mile warran...

I was on autoweek.com or caranddriver.com and I saw they were estimating the price of the supercharger installed at around $3000 and the body kit for around $2000 installed.verified the source. it is autoweek.com. The article is titled GXperformance......Pontiac looks to revamp image with high-horse...

I had something like this happen to. the dealership screwed up and gave me the $400 grad rebate even though I was excluded by another rebate. However, my dealership called me told me about it then said because they screwed up they would instead sell the vehicle for $400 less. So I ultimately owed no...

Canfield, Ohio reporting here. Suburb of Youngstown and next door neighbors with our moderator in Austintown..........

I saw that my original post was brought back up, the car in the original post has now been identified as the 2004 Ford SVT Focus. They are switching to a Mazda engine, output will be at 225HP, and the car is designed to compete with the Neon SRT. Not bad car, too bad was not the 300 hp AWD bruiser t...

neptunevibeawd

I understand where you are coming from. The AWD system though does not engage untill it detects slipage. The estimated MPG is 26 city 31 highway, I wish I could reach that. I hear aot of people talk about how good there is then on some sites I hear people talk about cars that are way below average w...

neptunevibeawd

Ok here is my question, I have a Vibe AWD. I have been tracking my MPG and it seems low. I am averaging under 23 MPG, city driving. I know the question will be asked if I am driving aggressively, and I will say that I have actually been trying to drive to get best MPG. What I have noticed is that wh...

neptunevibeawd

I doubt that the SC will work with AWD, Everyone says our AWD cannot take the extra torque. But at least we can hope, or better yet maybe someone will figure out a way to reenforce our AWD system, then watch out for the AWD vibes............

neptunevibeawd

Someone needs to let Pontiac know they have a ton of potential in the Vibe. If I am correct, GM has said they want to focus on performance upgrades and drawing younger buyers. HELLO............they have that with the vibe, Pontiac needs to have it where Vibe owners can buy performance upgrades (i.e....

neptunevibeawd

I have been reading the stories how american car companies are developing upgrades to their econo cars to compete with cars like the WRX, civics, VW's, etc. On September 12th, autoweek online showed a picture of a ford focus with a HUGE hood bulge. Ford would not give any information on it except th...

neptunevibeawd

The posssibility of the increase in horsepower is possible, I remember a past motortrend issue where they put a 201 hp v-6 into a beetle, then the added a twin turbo that increased horsepower to over 500 hp. They did extensive testing on it, in fact it had a 1 yr parts and 6 mos. labor warranty. So ...

neptunevibeawd

I hate to say this, I love the mini cooper. I think it is a very good looking vehicle and the build quilty is amazing (BMW builds it). As to performance, the car is very light and nimble, go cart type handeling, and the car actually is very good in acceleration. Get a mini cooper S with a supercharg...

neptunevibeawd

As to extended warranties through GM dealerships, read the contract to see what is covered and what type of deductibles there are. If you are going to get an extended warranty most people agree only buy a warranty through GM, get their extended warranty. Dealerships try to sell there own warranties ...

neptunevibeawd

I did not get one either, tomorrow I am taking a trip to Salem and seeing if my dealer has one, also couple little things i want them to look at...

neptunevibeawd

OK checked where I found it, look at autoweek.com, then look for article titled FUTURE PRODUCTS: GENERAL MOTORS--CAR COMEBACK IN HIGH GEAR. Further down the article, they look at each division, under Pontiac they talk about the Vibe and what I mentioned above

neptunevibeawd

Ok, not sure where I read this, maybe autoweek or caranddriver, but they had an article about GM cars and the Vibe was listed. They are planning a refreshing in 2005 or 2006 I think, but an interesting note is that GM had talked about adding a V-6, problem is that the if they try to do it they will ...

neptunevibeawd

IF you get the GM discount, go to GM.com and there is a section for GM employees. I forget the name of it, but if you put in the social security number of the GM employee you can get the price of the car with the GM discount. My parents bought a Grand Prix this spring, used my uncles discount and we...

neptunevibeawd

Just a quick note, the new 2003 Accord is going to be totally redone. The new V-6 is said to be around 240 horsepower, just like the Altima

neptunevibeawd

Did you get to read it? Can you give us a little idea of what they said about the vibe?

neptunevibeawd

NsimkinsHow much is this new nissan going to cost?? Did you see an estimated price for it?? The other thing that will be interesting about this nissan is build quality. The altima has had alot of complaints about the interior build quality.

neptunevibeawd

Ok not sure how silly of a question this is, I have seen monotone vibes from distance but is the side molding plastic or are they different material than for the non-montone vibes?

neptunevibeawd

The crazy thing about the delco stereos is that they are expensive to replace. So if yours goes bad and is not under warranty they are outrageous to replace. A good point is that some places will buy your delco radios if you replace yours with aftermarket.

neptunevibeawd

I think when they are talking about the power release for the liftglass they are talking about the window and the release being the one on the dash. I have the power package on my vibe so I am not sure if they all have it but if you hit the button on the dash the rear window pops open. This could be...

neptunevibeawd

Under the passenger seat I think is the amp for the 200 watt amp for the moon and toon package.

neptunevibeawd

I have a vibe AWD and live in Ohio. I pay about $260 per six months, but I am also 30 years old. That is for full insurance. I saw the post about the insurance being more on vibe, that is not the case for me, I go through state farm and my insurance actually dropped vs. the 99 grand am gt I had.[Mod...

neptunevibeawd

Could you post pictures of the mat so we can see it?

neptunevibeawd

The vibe AWD has the advantage over bumps or potholes, AWD has independent rear suspension. I drove a base vibe and my AWD vibe and I felt that the AWD vibe actually held to the road better.

neptunevibeawd

I have an AWD vibe. The day i got it, we got a big snow storm so I go to drive it in the snow. MY comments are, the AWD system is smooth and effortless. Somewhere I saw an article that gave huge praise to the AWD system. The downside is that with the extra weight and less horsepower, when I try to p...

neptunevibeawd

Thank you for posting the article ken

neptunevibeawd

Sorry about that, go to autoweek.com, there is a section called car news, on the side there is a title "DCX hits back at gray market; warranties won't be honored on '03 models" That is the article. If that does not work if someone can explain how to attach the article i will. [Modified by ...

neptunevibeawd

Autoweek.com has an article about dealers in U.S. buying new cars from Canada then selling them in U.S. and making a ton of money off it. The article also gives a little bit of the reason why cars are cheaper in Canada.

neptunevibeawd

Hey there, I have a vibe AWD too. I am doing all city driving at this time and I am averaging around 24-25 mpg. When I first got the car I was lower then that. One thing I did find out after some research is that the car is set to drive in overdrive all the time. If you hit the little button on the ...

neptunevibeawd

Car and Driver may have bashed the vibe, but Motortrend gave the Matrix XRS a great review. I know it's not a vibe, but it is the sister car to the vibe gt. The two cars that it beat was the protege and the WRX hatchback.

neptunevibeawd

I have the premium stereo. the speakers themselves are not that good. I am about to replace them with better speakers and from what I here the change of speakers makes a big difference.
