We did not tear up the engine 1.8L or waste a lot of gas. We averaged 26mpg! If we drove our truck camper w...

Funny, I posted the original recall in the The Vibe Lounge last week early in the mourning. Mods made it disappear, because when I got home. it was gone. True I didn't post the whole article, I just made a link. I feel like copy and pasting somebody else's work might be a violation. With newspapers ...

DONE! I got a Rostra 250-1731 Kit,... and had my local car shop install it. After many E-mail, phone calls, discussions my shop put it in with no problems, works great! It does NOT require a clutch switch. It did require a little cutting where the stalk come thru. He said there was no proliferated c...

I have been in contact with Rostra. I asked if the 250-1731 is correct for the 2009-10 Vibe with manual transmission because their web site danced around that. They said it will work and they have fixed there web site to reflect that! http://www.rostra.com/cruise-control.htm So, I am going to have m...

Lots of used Vibes out there. Search the internet, Ebay, Cars.com, others im sure. Dont get bogged down on just this one.

Zig

Well I say it works fine. We drove my wife's Vibe 1.8 auto awd towing the teardrop to Alaska and back this summer. When we were climbing mountains with it we just pushed the overdrive button off and and we go,... it would just climb. Im not sure it even needed it, but we did install a tran. cooler. ...

I towed our Little Guy teardrop camper to N.C. this week (1400mi.) using my new Vibe. My new Vibe is a striped down, no options manual trans. Vibe, so I wondered how it would do. I still havent added up the gas receipts to figure my mileage exactly, but the scangauge indicated it was above 26mpg.Whe...

Sorry, I did mislead. I got "End of the summer clearance sale" discount. Yes it has NO options. But on the other hand, it has a lot standard. Tilt steering, electric mirrors, rear window defrost, delayed windshield wiper, rear wiper, onstar, xm, trac control, AC inverter. No A/C, manual wi...

How much car do you want for your money? I just bought a striped down 2009 for $11,200. 0 miles! New warranty 6 airbags, so far getting 36mpg.

I guess I should say something, I have both scangauge 1 and 2. Right now at this moment one (I) is in my new 2009 Vibe, the other (II) is in my wife's 2006 Vibe.

I think you will find a LOT of Pop-Up campers well under the 1500 lbs. that Vibes are rated for. You might even find some even smaller Pop-Up campers made for motorcycles. The problem that I would have with one on a Vibe is most are 7' wide! We had one that we towed with our truck like it wasent eve...

I'm still killing my engine. About once a day on the trip home. There just seems to be too little low end torque for a slow engine start-up. I drove my old 3cyl. Chevy Metro to work Saturday. What a joy to drive something that doesn't die when I start moving. Dont get me wrong, I love the new car,.....

Coming from the http://www.teamswift.net/viewforum.php?f=14 Suzuki Swift/Geo Metro FORUM,... I would say that this forum has a LONG life ahead for it. Vibe Owners from far into the future will still be coming here for answers.

AHH, Good to know. I'm not the only one!

Zig

Yep, I did it too,... got a cheep Vibe. The problem I'm having is its too quiet and I am having a hard time shifting and maintaining a constant speed. With so little engine noise it is really hard to launch the manual transmission smoothly. I have drove manuals all my life, but this thing is been ha...

Dear wife wants to have the roof rack completely taken off. Can this be done by a competent body shop? Has anyone here done it? I think it would look good, She already shaved the emblems including the Pontiac badge in front (I don't like that look). I do think removing the roof rack would look good.

Zig

scherry2, so where did you go to get it powder coated?

Zig

WE just got a new Black GT Vibe, and it has chrome metal roof rails. Somewhere I have seen pictures (GM Vibe page) of Vibe's with black luggage rails. We thought we ordered the body color match option. I guess my question is, how do you get BLACK roof rails?
