Well it's been 5 days now since I've been driving my vibe.... I gassed it up last night and was excited to calculate my mileage. With the tips given here and trying to be conscious of my throttle, minus my inexperience on the clutch (lots of over-rev'ing going into first *wince*) my mileage worked o...

Do car alarms actually work??

Just would like to hear a couple opinions on this subject. They can get pretty expensive so I want to make sure I don't go out and buy something I don't need or isn't very useful at all. I know when I'm in a parking lot and hear an alarm go off I just tend to ignore it, just like everybody else now-...

Thanks guys. That's really helpful. I'll have that warm, fuzzy feeling now when driving around town tonight knowing that I'm cruising in the "right" gear. Thanks again.

Gears and their best speeds to save on gas... your thoughts??

Just getting used to my new Vibe that I picked up this week and can't help but wonder if I'm driving around in the best gear for the various speeds I'm at. When I say "best" I'm thinking along the lines of gas mileage... although some might argue that with me! For example: when I'm driving...

Now that's what I like to hear!! Will kits include locking the hatch as well??And no, I opted to get the 5-speed manual... I just love the added control that comes with shifting your own gears, and not to mention it's fun as hell!!

Finally own my VIBE!! **doing my happy dance**

Drove home my new (used) 2004 Vibe last night: silver two-tone, manual 5-speed, tinted windows, and pretty much base after that. WOW I LOVE MY CAR!!! I've been in the market for a new car since February, knowing quite well that my ol' Buick LeSabre was going to be biting the dust any time. Well she ...

adding powered locks... can this be done?

Hello all,Just bought a 2004 Vibe this week, used, and unfortunately it didn't come with the powered option. I'm really missing the keyless entry/powered locks that my old car had, and I would really like to find out if it is possible to install and upgrade to powered locks/keyless entry.If so, any ...
