Held up great. This was my first drive in snow in the new Vibe and I was pleased. Back wheels went slippy for a split second going up a hill in Ann Arbor, but other than that it was fine. (OK, I could have avoided that hill, but I wanted to see how well the Vibe would take it.)I take M-14 to Ann Arb...

Agreed -- great idea. I stopped by Lowe's on the way home and picked up some of the foamy stuff.

Hey, does sticking my static-cling parking pass for work and my metroparks sticker on the windshield (carefully place,d so as not to mess with the light sensor) count as a "mod"?

Got over the blind spot issue and ended up buying a Vibe ( http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1387 ).Test drove the Vibe again (ok, two more times) and followed some of Frosty's advice about the mirrors. Spent a lot of time playing with them and found that I could adjust everything to the point...

Got over my concerns about the Vibe's blind spot I mentioned herehttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1187 and took the plunge.Bought a two-tone Neptune Vibe last week (base model with power package and Moon and Tunes).Already have 300 miles on it!

Pretty cool!One question though before I go looking for this rubberized foam stuff -- does anybody think this is the kind of foam stuff that biodegrades and gets all nasty (disintegrates) or possibly would stick to the plastic if it gets wet or too warm (direct sunlight, etc.)?

I'm one of those Vibe checker-outers. (Still deciding...)Saw two of them on the drive to work the other morning (plus the one in my parking lot at work). Ran into the office to tell a Vibe-owning coworker about the number of Vibe spottings that morning.

Thanks for the replies, all.NovaResource -- It's a 4-door Cavalier.Guess I'll go test drive the Vibe a few more times!

I've test driven a Vibe twice now and it's the frontrunner to replace my Chevrolet Cavalier.My first impression was so-so, but on the second drive I really started to warm up to the Vibe. (It was the looks and clever and flexible cargo storage that initially got me interested in the Vibe. Plus I'm e...
