Sorry to hear!

I've noticed a sudden gas mileage boost in my auto Vibe base. It seemed to start happening earlier in the spring though. I creditted this to the fact that I had broken the engine in since it was over 10k. idk, though. Last week I managed to pull 36MPG going 75mph on the highway!

Quote, originally posted by jeffgtx Â»excellent... soon everyone on genvibe but colonel panix will have a VW and my plan will be complete. I had a VW before the vibe... 1994 Passat. Very rare and very expensive. Drive like a dream though. The Vibe was an upgrade, but soon enough I'll be downgrading ...

The project is now completed.

How many Jeep owners go off roading is it is? Heck, how many 4x4 owners go off roading? I've only known a few, and they're all under 30.

pianomansam

Yeah, and I'm the one that thought the new RAV4 for looked like a Vibe from the back!

pianomansam

That's changing REAL fast though.

pianomansam

Just came across this. http://www.jeep.com/07compass/ Supposed to cost around the same price at the Vibe. Lots of neat toys. I'd spring for this before a Caliber.

Quote, originally posted by MrRich Â»And by the way it is not in the Vibe's class.I guess I got its class mixed up. Still, It might be stylish in some matters, somehow it doesn't seem to sit well with me. It kinda looks like the new Dodge cargo vans or the old Mitsubishi MPVs. It's too tall and way ...

http://www.motorportal.com/Hon...t.htmWhile I'm at it pecking off other cars in the Vibe's class, what does everyone think of the upcoming Honda Fit space shuttle? I think it looks horribly like a car version of the Element breadbox.

pianomansam

I drive by a Chrysler dealership everyday that has one of these. Each day I take a good loook at it. Not interested in it by any means. I guess Chrysler had to pay GM back for copying the PT Cruiser in the HHR. Btw, the Caliber looks like a chopped off Magnum. Yuck! And the pics of the SRT4 aren't m...

http://www.toyota.com/rav4/ind...INDEXSo any pics I've looked at on the web don't make it appear to be like the Vibe much in any way, but when I drove by the Toyota dealership the other day I saw a red (read Lava red) one parked outside and pulled into the lot to see what the heck it was. I could ha...

I don't have enough parts for an entire install, but if happened to install a HU a while ago and want to put in something differen such as 2 single DINs or a 2 DIN unit, my extra parts might be of some use.

pianomansam

As for the sound, now I wouldn't call myself an audiophile. I know what I like to hear, though: crisp highes and well defined lows. The factory HU did a good job at this. Heck, I only put it on 2-1-1 for equalization and was content. My main reason for putting thew new HU in, like I said, was for th...

pianomansam

Hi all. Just finished putting in my Pioneer p5200 from my old car. I was ok with the original HU but didn't want to spend mega $$$ on the AUX adapter for it. I already had my old HU with P-Bus AUX so it wasn't worth it. Btw, HU cost be $5 at Salvation Army. Best deal of my life. Only problem is that...

Hard to say... seeing that GM doesn't like advertising our toyota with pontiac skin, i don't know what to think.

Gotta love Western NY winters! I grew up between Buffalo and Rochester, and the only reason I'm a good snow driver is because of that.

eventually i'm gonna get a gps, but my plan is to run it off a pocketpc, not a laptop. pros: automatic on, built in wireless and bluetooth (on some), support for usb drives, small, portable, etc. I'm going to use it mainly to play music, but email and gps will be nice additions

So I was browsing through my local BigLots store when I happened across this... Now immediately I thought of a possible use for the back of the rear seats. I didn't know if it was too wide though.
