Re: Considering a Vibe ... (davidelewis)

I would have to agree whole heartedly that the Vibe, no matter which model you drive, is gutless. You can't expect to get too many ponies out of an engine that is 1.8 liters, heck I buy soda in 2 liter bottles. There's no replacement for displacement. However, we have used ours on several long trips...

Changing the battery...

I was just wondering if anyone has changed the battery in their Vibe to avoid/correct the ongoing issues in cold weather? I live in the heart of the "Lake Effect" snow belt region of New York and can't afford to wait until GM decides to address this problem. Especially since this is my wif...

Re: Little things... (Reynoma)

My wife chose the two-tone, I would prefer the mono...I forgot to mention that the windshield developed a crack in the upper passenger side corner after only a few hundred miles. The dealer refused to cover the item under warantee, stating that the damage could have been the result of road debris. H...

Re: High speed wandering (Craigmri)

We had the same "wandering" issues with our GT and put new rubber on the car and had the tow-out adjusted. The car is on rails now. Upgrading from the Continental Tires was the first thing I had on my list when we picked the car up at the dealer.

Re: Compartment below radio (PhiDelt)

We had the same problem with ours popping open when driving over bumps. We took it back top the dealer and they replaced and adjusted the latch. I figured we paid enough for the car to not have to do this ourselves or use tape.

Little things...

My wife purchased her Vibe this past February, opting for the GT model because of the manual tranny. There were a few issues with the car, mostly linked to quality control. The interior sunroof cover "dragged" when it was opened and closed. The fabric cover began to show wear very quickly ...
