cargo nets - should I go with 2 small side nets or one big net across cargo area

after a few days of getting a feel for new base vibe, I think I am going to get myself 2 small side nets but I'd appreciate some feedback as to how others contain their cargo in the back

anyone encounter problem with door ajar light staying on after hatch opened and closed?

I picked up my new vibe on wednesday afternoon and I am very happy with the car over this first 24 hours except for the fact that the door warning lot stayed on after I opened and closed my hatch -hopefully I can swing by dealership tomorrow for a quick checkup

for vibe buyers before jan 18th, I have a $250 voucher I was unable to use for my vibe purchaserece

this $250 voucher is part of a settlement agreement for GM's 70's truck tank issue. Unfortunately my dealer did not accept the voucher when I picked up my new Vibe today because he claimed his dealership did not want to have anything to do with this settlement. If you think you could apply this disc...

thanks for the info - upon further review I don't think certificate will help as I

am basically getting my base Vibe for a bit over $1000 below MSRP less an additional $2000 incentive rebateoh well it was worth a try seeking out additional discounts - I probably should have acquired a GM credit card and transferred an existing account balance
