I hardly think 31mpg is bad milage. I have a 2004 auto base and my last 10 tanks have been:25.8021.2124.4625.1321.2317.6318.4120.5421.3318.51Avg. 21.42 mpgI do mostly city drive but I think this is extremely low. Brought it into the dealer 3 times over the last few months and they say everything is ...

Well I brought my car in yesterday for the same problem. The mechanic took a drive with me and agreed that there was something wrong. As it turns out they did not put an exhaust seal on the coverter . They said it didnt come in the box with the cat so they didnt put it on. They ordered the part and ...

Hi there, I just recently had my catalytic converter replaced on Jan. 6. Ever since then i have had an anoying rattle . It's hard to located but it seems to be coming from the front passenger side. After driving the car for a few minutes you start to hearing an annoying squeel; like nails on a chalk...

I have a 2004 base vibe with automatic and I find the gas milage to be extremely viotile. I have been to both extremes. The lowest milage I have gotten has be 15 mpg. Yes I said 15 mpg. Mind you that was when the car was brand new in -30 C weather. I have also gotten 35 mpg while highway driving in ...

$500 at 0% for 48 months. 27 more months to go and she's all mine.

I was just wondering if the front windshelid sprayers are supposed to spray 6 solid streams of fluid on the windsheild. Its like there are 6 powerfull waterguns shooting at the windsheild. A lot of washer fluid comes out but it does not seem to clean the window properly. If this is normal, is there ...

I'm in the same boat you are. I've had my vibe for 5 months now. My overall gas milage over that time is 22.37 US mpg. Mind you it is slowly breaking in. As of lately I've been getting 25-28 mpg. Never have hit 30 .

In the last month and a half I have gotten two of those marks. One on the front passenger side and one on the rear passenger side. People just don't care about hitting someones car.

I just got home this afternoon when I heard my Mom hit a parked car with my Dad's '99 GMC Serria truck. It left a large dent near the right wheel well but did not do much damage to the other vechile. My Mom felt pretty bad as Dad and I start making fun of the situation. A little while later a neighb...

Happy B-Day Genvibe. By far this site has helped me out a lot. I know more about this car than I ever thought I would. Hope this site has many more B-Days to come.

I just took my car in for an oil change. While I was there I told the advisor that im getting poor mileage. He asked what I was getting per tank and I said around 350-400km. They seemed to take it serious as they tested the car right in front of me with a computer. They said it seemed normal but the...

I'm glad to here that some people are getting as bad milage as me. I know I only have 2500km on my car but I've been averaging about 20.5 mpg(US). My high was 28mpg and that was 100% highway. My low has be 15 MPG. I'm hoping this will improve.

Just filled up the tank yesterday. My milage improved significantly from my last tank, but still not what it should be. In combined driving I got 20.77 US MPG. Hopefully im on the right track here.

Yes you are confused. If you read my second post it says the odometer is in KM. I converted the l/100km to mpg by using the conversion tool at: http://www.pege.org/fuel/convert.htm.

Yes I know I was using the US MPG. I used that because that's what most people use on this board. I'm not comparing it to the Can MPG (MPIG). The vibe is rated for 28 MPG city, or 34 MPIG city. Either way I am still a good 10mpg under the rated capacity.

I keep close track of my fill-ups. I always fill the tank up. When the pump clicks off I round up to the nearest dollar. I know this will effect the stats a bit but only by maybe 1 mpg. Here's the breakdown. The odometer is in Km:DateOdometerLitres Prev.Odom. L/100Km MPG1/11/200452733.052280 13.38 1...

I recently bought a new vibe at the end of december. Ever since I got it I have been getting brutal gas milage. I do understand that it has been very cold here lately and that brand new cars dont get good milage, but is it normal to be over 10mpg below the rated fuel economy? I have been mostly city...

Personally I love the 2004 dash lights. I've been use to driving my parents 1994 Bonneville which had the red lights and going to the Vibe is very refreshing. It does make the guages much easier to read at night.

Hi all,Does anyone know where I could get this stuff in Canada? I've check Home Depot, Canadian Tire, and Rona without luck.

Hi all,Well it happened a lot sooner than I expected. I finally bought a vibe!!! My dealer spent most of the day today trying to get me a vibe with the options I wanted. He found a vibe that was in transit to Toronto. He was able to get it for me after trying to get numerous other ones over the past...

Yeah I'm dealing with Condies. I should say that Condies had 15 vibes last week but have less than 10 now. There are only 2 vibes there with the options I want but they are both Frosty white. That is the last colour that I would want. It seems as though the Safety & Security package is pretty ra...

Hi all,I can see the frustration of trying to get a vibe in Canada. I went to a dealer to try and get a vibe. All I want is a Neptune vibe with:AutomaticSafety & Security PackagePower Package My dealer had about 15 vibes but not one with what I wanted. As it turns out there is only one vibe in S...

Hi all,Thanks for all of the advice. It helps out a lot. I am still not sure what I am going to buy but I will think about the pros and cons. I probably wont be buying the vibe for a couple more months, but I will tell all of you what I eventually buy. I'm waiting for the 0% for 60 months to come ba...

Thanks joatmon,I've decided to buy the vibe because it seems to be the most practical and the one I fit in the best. At 6'2" most of the other hatchbacks i've looked at the roof line has been to low. Some of the other cars i've look at are:Ford Focus ZX5 - not a very reliable car; roof line to ...

Hi all,I have recently decided that I'm going to buy a Vibe, just not sure which model yet. I was wondering what other people's opinion on the AWD version is. I live in Kingston, Ontario so we do get a lot of snow here in the winter. I was just wondering if I should buy the AWD version over the Base...
