I guess for some it is easy to sign on the line before they realize what they are getting in to. Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame no matter what.

These people may not be selling the cars for the reasons they claim but I do think may be forced to sell the cars to cover the taxes they have to pay on the mods. Taxes are calculated on the full MSRP of all of the parts used (gotta add labor too). If I am not mistaken the total amount is considered...

"I checked one out this weekend and was not impressed with the interior." I felt the exact same way after I sat in one.

This is what the Aztek should be http://www.autoweek.com/cat_co...86060I forgot to add that these are the same mags that are praising the Scion xb and the Honda Element. I think both are uglier than the Aztek.

They got the extra power from their own ecu programming.

The economy went bad and it was back to good ole Pittsburgh.I finally figured out how to ge...

I have had my Vibe for a little over a year now and have always got anywhere from 20-24 mpg. There was exception...got close to 28 mpg on a summer road trip.

csjrishere

I had a Russian co-worker who view loads of dirty pictures everyday. He would just go to the Russian websites (they were all .ru)...I guess there is a work around on this issue.

csjrishere

I hate this websence crap at work...who are they to tell me its tasteless?!?!?!

csjrishere

SarakayI live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and dont have any problems with the base Vibe auto. At times the gas mileage will suffer but its not really bad.

csjrishere

You think the Vibe is bad try driving a 2003 Buick Century on the highway with both rear windows down. I had one on vacation in June and decided to open the rear windows to get some air...major mistake!!

csjrishere

My vibe was purchased with the moons and tunes and the 6 disc indash changer...its what I wanted when we were looking for the car. I love the tunes package and have no problem with the sound quality as some others do.

csjrishere

Well I just received some mystery damage on my rear bumper...it appears somebody did not know how to back out of a parking space and took the nice salsa paint off of the bumper...about 10 inches by 10 inches!!!I wonder if I turn it into insurance I would get enough to buy the sport package rear bump...

csjrishere

When I first saw it I thought it was an updated Vibe.

I get the same smell and I buy my gas at BP.

I only got 220 on my last 10 gallon fill up...disappointing!!!

csjrishere

I got my vibe on the last day of september and have only put 1700 miles on it so far.

csjrishere

I am sorry to hear about your cat. After 10 years with the animal its just like losing a family member. I couldn't even imagine losing one of my 3 cats (all brothers) and I have only had them for 3 years.

I would like to see some kind of hard molded cover that could be mounted in a way that it could be tilted up and easily removed when needed.

csjrishere

I have the 16" Goodyears are they are horrible...drove in the snow once and that was it!!!! After that experience I now use the Cavalier on snowy days.

csjrishere

I have about 1700 miles and seem to get around 25 mpg

csjrishere

The winter mats are awesome compared to the lightweight factory supplied mats.

csjrishere

My first car when I turned 16 in '86 was a 1977 chevy vega wagon...my dad paid $500 for it and I am glad because I beat the **** out of it and it still kept running.Now to think about it I guess I have gone back to my first car roots with the purchase of the vibe but it cost quite a bit more than $5...

csjrishere

I know that the car can detect that the seat is occupied or not. I noticed this by my wife getting in...as soon as she sat down the passenger seatbelt light came on and I told her to get out it went back off. i don't know if that would activate the airbag or not!?!?!

How about "some of us are just...different"

Why would you waste your money to purchase the monotone parts or paint when you will have to ultimatley buy the sport package which will include new bumpers and side skirts????

csjrishere

Pittsburgh here.

I just saw the pics for that product on ebay and they do not look very good in my eyes...maybe I am just to old to appriciate junk!!!

csjrishere

Has anyone bought one of these carbon fiber kits yet? I have to see it actually installed instead of graphic of the parts.

csjrishere

I was wondering if anyone has considered painting the darker silver pieces on the dash and the doors (total of 5 pieces) the same color as the body...like the PT cruiser dash? I have a salsa and have been looking at them for a couple weeks imagining how they would look painted...hmmm?!?!?!

csjrishere

My car did not have the cover installed when I bought it so I called and the next day they found one for me (from another Vibe). I can't believe there is such a hassle for such a small part that I think is left out for shipping reasons.

csjrishere

I put these mud flaps om my monotone salsa vibe and they do not look out of place. I actually thought about painting before I installed them...in the end they look pretty good.

csjrishere

Had the car 3 weeks and the old man neighbor on his electric scooter put a nice gouge in the drivers rear wheel flare...not super bad but is noticable with the monotone paint!!! I guess you cannot be safe in your own driveway.The first has to happen...its all downhill from here!!!

csjrishere

I had 61 on mine because they drove in from another dealership for me...I just hope they didn't drive those 61 miles hard!!!!

I bought the vibe slash guards and installed then last saturday...they look really good even though I do have a monotone vibe.The guards are made specifically for the vibe and fit the shape of the wheel opening. Fronts are really easy to put on while the rears need a few holes drilled. They are plai...

I havent had this problem with the hatch...but have had a problem shutting the hood...it needed to be slammed to latch...I guess a little out of adjustment!!!

Does anybody have a problem with the sunroof slide switch when closing the roof? I just got the car last week and put 225 miles on and noticed that when shuting the sunroof, while holding the switch, the roof stops closing then I have to let off the switch and hit it again.Is this normal?
