Re: My vibe's all confused (kevera)

If course, the picture was taken in a Toronto suburb. I am visiting some friends right now that live here little bit east of Toronto. I swear no one build like Ontarians...On top of each other almost. I can always tell a Ontario GTA suburb neighborood by a single picture.

Re: My vibe's all confused (bean)

took me a while to figure it all out....I got the RV-Inno IN-AR Complete Raised Rail System (cross bars with locks and everything for $130 shipped brand new).Fits good, but had to take off the cushy pads it came with since the vibes roof rack is so close to the roof. Works very well, and we are very...

Re: The Pre-Vibe Jitters? (ajconover)

My wife and I bought the vibe after careful research and lots of test drives. I wish the interior styling was a little less unconventional, but I dont drive the car 99% of the time so its not up to me. As a total package its really a winner.

Anyone have a Thule roof rack and/or cargo box?

Thinking of getting a set of Thule 450 legs & crossbars for my wife's vibe, as well as a Thule 682 cargo box. Looks like there shouldnt be any problems with that size box besides having to remove the antenna to mount it (I have Sirius so dont really care about the stock antenna). I'd like to hea...

Which oil filter does the GM dealers carry for the vibe?

My vibe still has the OE oil filter which is a Toyota filter. I am about to do the first oil change and there is a Toyota dealership nearby, so I was thinking about going straight there and getting another Toyota filter. If you go to the GM dealer, do they just carry Toyota dealership or does one of...

Re: another new vibe owner (isaaclud)

i know what you mean about ABS. On the first test drive we took, had to slam the brakes hard and i noticed it didnt have ABS. Had to continue the search for a vibe with ABS without all the options. Took a while but they're out there

We had to go to Iowa's capital (Des Moines) for an immigration interview so took the opportunity to buy one while there. Came from a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix se with 93k miles. That car...
