The Honda Element.... makes the Pontiac Aztec look good.

Moi je suis ouvert au suggestion pour un meeting ou peut-être un peut aller faire une ride sur une belle route de campagne. Ca serait cool 5-6 VIBE qui ce suivent!C'est sur qu'une fin de semaine est meilleur come date pour tout le monde je crois. Je vais me mouillier et suggerer samedi le 30 aout.....

Je suis partant....Let's go for a ride!Ryan2003 Black GT

As soon as the wife OK's the purchase, I'll be contacting a member who would be able to do this for me. Of course, some compensation would also be given to the party involved for his/her troubles. I'll get back to you guys on this. Thanks again, you got to love the Internet for connecting people wit...

You only pay taxes, duty and broker fees if you they ship UPS. If any of these companies would accept shipping through the USPS, we would save hundred of dollars but they all refuse to use the USPS. I'm trying to think of a plan.Maybe I could buy the CAI but have it shipped to a US resident. Then th...

Thanks!!!

I read somewhere that you could buy an Injen CAI for 195$ but the best I have seen is 255$ shipping included? Has anybody found a cheaper place to buy?Ryan

Upgrading a base Vibe with a SC will run you about 4k no?. About the same price as a GT... Let's just say that a base Vibe with a SC is .2 seconds faster than a GT. You still don't have ABS breaks (2000$), the power package (1000$ to get the doors retrofitted and the windows), 1000$ for a sunroof. Y...

I hate SUV. King of the road my (removed)! They don't follow car standards such as bumber placement and fuel MPG since they are considered TRUCKS. They should be forced to follow the same rules as 18 wheelers. 55 mph max, right lane only, stop at weight stations, and pay higher registration fees. Th...

Actually, the shifter placement is excellent. The best I have driven... it's just a liitle notchy which means you might have some trouble putting it into gear if you are not straight into the gear. This is only when you are downshifting more than a gear. Like when you go from 6th gear to 4 th for ex...

I think that is dutch. Definetly not german.

I was very impressed with how little roll there is. I had an elantra before this and that was a boat. The space is very impressive. Also note that the Vibe is the least expensive of all the cars you are looking at but it is has the most performance. I really love the car. Only thing I would change i...

I own a GT and you do have to push the clutch all the way to the floor. When the car was new and the carpets lusher, you had to push the clutch a little harder but with 7000 km now, the car starts like any other manual transmission. As for the clutch being hard, I had a Porsche 944 turbo and it took...

Yes, I named mine "DARTH VADOR". From the front it kinda looks like Darth's helmet and I find has a certain Starwars space ship look to the whole car. Maybe I'm just a Starwars fan Obi Ryan

Hello, I would like to purchase an Injen CAI from a northern us store (Plattsburgh) but since I am from Montreal Canada, I don't know of any speed shops in the area. The reason I wan't to go buy it directly in the US is to save customs, duty, taxes, shipping ect.. I found a montreal shop that sells ...

While looking into building my own CAI, I noticed that the air box has a large vacuum flap that is before the filter. What does this do and how does not having one affect the car's operation. As for the MAF sensor, if Injen can make it an agile solderer also can. I must hand it to Injen for making a...

That is what the Vibe needs. A 2.2 litre engine that would develop 155 torque but 220 hp... That would really rock. I'd love a 2.0 liter stroker kit. It would use a little more fuel but there would be a little more torque down low. You just got to love the 6200 rpm rush the VVTL-I engine gets.Dreams...

Get power if you can only afford one of the two. Four dours are a b!tch to lock and it also allows you acces to your trunk without having to use your key. Also gives you acces to latch from inside switch. The power windows are also cool though I would like auto up and down on all four windows.. I ha...

I just received my Motor Trend magazine and they have a picture of the new Accord. Let's just say they will be aiming the 50-75 year old buyer base again. Yes the V6 will be 240hp but it will cost a fortune. There will also be a 6 speed manual transmission available. That will help in the fun factor...

Accord V6 instead of the VIBE??? I'd go with the Nissan Altima V6 instead of an Accord. 240 hp + torque + styling + more room + 3000$ less = HOT SPORT SEDAN. VIBE = HOT COMPACT WAGON not exactly the same category of car. Did I also mention that the Honda acoord is one the most boring FAMILY sedans b...

I was using the numbers Motor Trend got in their last issue. They did an article on both hybrids and there was a small side note on the Golf TDI. In their real world tests (not the epa's) they managed 43 mpg if I remember correctly. You could imagine why I was surprised at those numbers compared to ...

Wow!! At 6.4l/100kmm that's 44mpg!!! That is actually better mileage than the Honda Civic Hybrid and The Toyota Prius. That's even better than the Golf TDI. Almost unbeleivable! Unless there is a conversion factor I'm not getting. 1 litre = 4.54609 gallons, right?I'm getting about 9.8l/100km. with m...

Wow, I'm glad I have a GT with the power package. I haven't used my realift glass nor have I ever had to use the key to open the latch. It would be a real pain to have to ALWAYS use your key to open the hatch. Door locks are a MUST then on a Vibe.

It is the law to have DRL in Canada because they make the roads safer for you and me. If you do disable them, I hope you get a ticket. Just imagine this for a second. It's getting dark out but not quite enough for your night lights. The sun is setting behind you and you are enjoying a beautiful day....

Hello,I made a carpet for my cargo area using what they call an "outdoor" carpet. On one side it is a short "felt" carpet and the underside is a rubber compound. It is exactly like the little carpet that is in the storage bin in front of the cup holders. The colour fits perfectly...

Yes, I bought the carpet from a local hardware store. I lucked out and found a grey carpet that matches the carpet in the car. There aren't many optins out there if you want a rubber backing. Some fake grass carpets could also do but then they are ugly. Other types of carpet don't have a rubber back...

Don't forget the 120 volt plug and the block heater. Little things add up...

I made myself a carpet that has a rubber back and it protects the trunk really well. The colour matches the interior carpet perfectly. It's about the same material as the little piece of carpet that is in the cd-holder near the cup holders. I could make one for anybody who wants one. It would be lik...

I sent a mail to the postmaster for every post I found to be offensive. If we all do that maybe they will be removed. I also wrote a review under the name DARTH VADOR (which is my cars name)RyanP.S. I am addicted to the dual cam rush. I can't get enough of it..... vroooooom... VROOOOOOSH. Ready for ...

My Vibe GT is Abyss (black). I baptised it "Darth Vador". I find the front kind of looks like Vador's helmet. I must admit though that you need to wash the car really often if you want it to look its best.

No, I don't have the monotonepaint but I actually like the grey plastic molding on my car. I fond it gives it a more rugged look. I washed it yesterday and it looks awesome.Ryan

In Montreal, there are no VIBEs sitting on any lot. The dealer where I gotmine doesn't even have one in the show room. There is a 6-12 week wait. The GT is easier to bargainbecause they are more expensive, but my salesmanager said that not on VIBE has been sold under suggested retail....except mine ...

Black cars look really good when they are clean. If you have the grey plastic cladding, it is nicer with darker colours. Rust shows more with a white car. White is easier to clean. White is harder to match / touch-up. I personally have a black Vibe GT and I get nothing but compliments. Black looks m...

91 octane is the minimum recomended even though 87 octane can be used if it is the only grade available but for emergencies only. You should fill with 91 octane as soon as possible to increase the octane value in the tank and avoid heavy acceleration while using 87 octane. Also, if you are towing, i...
